Take Your Class to Battleship Cove Right Here in Fall River
Hit the waterfront and bring Massachusetts history to life at Battleship Cove (5 Water Street, Fall River, MA 02721), one of the world’s largest collections of historic naval vessels. Students can walk the decks of the USS Massachusetts (BB-59), the USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., and the USS Lionfish submarine — an unforgettable hands-on history experience. Buses pull in off Route 79 and Davol Street to the large paved lot directly adjacent to the museum, with drop-off right at the main entrance on Water Street.
Call the museum at 508-678-1100 to arrange your school group visit in advance, and confirm current parking details on the Battleship Cove plan your visit page before your trip.
Book a Bus to the New Bedford Whaling Museum and National Historical Park
Book a charter bus east on I-195 and give your students a deep dive into New England’s maritime past at the New Bedford Whaling Museum (18 Johnny Cake Hill, New Bedford, MA 02740) and the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park (33 William Street, New Bedford, MA 02740) — both within walking distance of each other in downtown New Bedford, about 25 minutes from Fall River. The museum offers school programs for grades K–12; advance reservations are required, so contact the museum before your visit. The NPS park is free to enter.
Buses drop off on Johnny Cake Hill or William Street; no dedicated bus lot is available downtown, so groups should call ahead to confirm staging. Review the NPS New Bedford plan your visit page before departure.
Bringing Your Group to Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence
Bringing the whole class to Roger Williams Park Zoo (1000 Elmwood Avenue, Providence, RI 02907) is one of the most popular field trips for Fall River schools — and it’s only about 18 miles west on I-195! The zoo offers school group rates and educational programs for all grade levels; advance reservations are required. Buses enter via the main entrance off Elmwood Avenue and park in the designated bus and RV lot.
One 56-passenger charter bus keeps every student and chaperone together on the short interstate run, and the comfortable ride beats squeezing everyone into a caravan of parent cars. Confirm current group rates and parking details on the Roger Williams Park Zoo visit page before your trip, and call 508-491-1060 to find your bus!
That's a Long Ride to Plymouth — Make It Comfortable With a Charter Bus
That’s exactly why so many Fall River teachers choose a full-size charter bus for the run up to Plimoth Patuxet (137 Warren Avenue, Plymouth, MA 02360) — it’s about 45 to 55 minutes north via Route 44 and Route 3, and the living history experience is a cornerstone of the Massachusetts Grade 3 curriculum. A 56-passenger motorcoach gives students reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage storage for lunches and gear — so everyone arrives ready to learn instead of road-weary. The museum has a large dedicated bus parking lot on Warren Avenue; advance reservations for school groups are required.
Check the Plimoth Patuxet school programs page for current booking details, then use the Fallrivercharterbuscompany.com quote tool to compare buses for your date!

Battleship Cove and Fall River Heritage State Park (200 Davol Street, Fall River, MA 02720) sit directly adjacent to each other on the waterfront, within easy walking distance. Your bus drops the group at Battleship Cove, and students can walk to the Heritage State Park visitor center without re-boarding.

Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, RI is approximately 18 miles from Fall River via I-195 west — about 20 to 25 minutes off-peak. During morning rush hours or Providence-area congestion, budget 35 to 40 minutes each way. I-195 through Providence can back up during peak commute windows, so scheduling your departure before 7:30 a.m. or after 9:00 a.m. helps keep the ride smooth.
One charter bus keeps every student together for the short interstate run instead of splitting the class across multiple vehicles.
For local trips within Fall River, a yellow school bus is often arranged through the district. For longer field trips — to Plimoth Patuxet in Plymouth, Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, or the New Bedford Whaling Museum — many Fall River schools choose a charter bus or minibus for the added comfort of reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and WiFi. Charter buses through the Fallrivercharterbuscompany.com network are operated by independent, permitted carriers.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available; just mention your needs when you request a quote at 508-491-1060.
Booking four to six weeks in advance is recommended for most Fall River field trips, and earlier is better for spring dates. May is the busiest month for school field trips across southeastern Massachusetts, as schools rush to complete curriculum-tied trips before the end of the year. Popular destinations like Plimoth Patuxet and Roger Williams Park Zoo fill their school group calendars quickly in April and May.
