A Group Travel Guide to Bountiful, Utah's Major Destinations & Events

Bountiful Main Street Arts & Design District

Main Street in Bountiful is the heart of the city’s culture, but its historic, narrow layout and angled parking make it a nightmare for groups traveling in separate cars. For events like the Bountiful Farmers Market (held Thursdays, June through October) or the annual Handcart Days parade, parking within three blocks of the city center is virtually non-existent. Our 25-passenger minibuses are the ideal solution for these "Main Street" excursions. We typically utilize the designated loading zone on the west side of 100 South, just off Main Street, allowing your group to step off directly near local favorites like the Bountiful/Davis Art Center (90 N Main St, Bountiful, UT 84010). Most shops are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. By using a single shuttle, you avoid the frustration of navigating the 500 South interchange and hunting for spots in the crowded library lot. Your driver can drop your group off and stage at the nearby Bountiful City Park while you explore the local boutiques and galleries.

South Davis Recreation Center

Located at 550 N 200 W, Bountiful, UT 84010, the South Davis Recreation Center is a massive hub for regional swim meets, ice hockey tournaments, and high school sports. With over 500,000 annual visitors, the parking lot frequently hits capacity by 8:00 AM on Saturdays. For swim teams or school groups, a 56-passenger charter bus rental is a necessity to keep athletes focused. Buses must enter the facility via the North 200 West entrance; do not attempt to turn a full-sized motorcoach into the smaller residential side streets to the east. The facility features a specific "bus drop" lane near the ice rink entrance, allowing for quick unloading of heavy gear and coolers. Hours are typically 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM on weekdays, with shorter weekend windows. Using a charter bus with undercarriage luggage storage ensures that hockey sticks and swim bags don't clutter the aisleways, while climate control keeps the team comfortable after a long day at the rink or pool.

Mueller Park Trailhead

Mueller Park (1600 E 1800 S, Bountiful, UT 84010) is one of the most popular hiking and picnicking spots in Davis County, but the road leading up—1800 South—becomes extremely narrow and steep. For large family reunions or corporate team-building hikes to Elephant Rock, we recommend using an 18-passenger or 25-passenger minibus. Full-sized 56-passenger coaches are often restricted due to the tight switchbacks near the canyon mouth. The trailhead parking lot is small and requires a $10 fee per vehicle, which adds up quickly for large groups. Instead, have your driver drop you at the lower gate loop. Note that the park is open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily during the summer months. Because cell service is spotty once you enter the canyon, we coordinate exact pick-up times with your driver beforehand. This prevents the "pogo-sticking" effect of groups wandering around the parking lot trying to find their rides in a dead zone. Our buses feature tinted windows and reclining seats, providing a much-needed cool-down spot after a 7-mile trek in the Utah sun.

Bountiful Utah Temple

Perched high on the east bench at 640 Bountiful Blvd, Bountiful, UT 84010, the Bountiful Temple attracts thousands of visitors for weddings and weekly services. The drive up 400 North is a significant incline that can be taxing on smaller passenger vans during the snowy winter months. Our professional motorcoaches are equipped to handle the bench's elevation changes with ease. For wedding parties, a white or silver 15-passenger executive sprinter van offers a touch of class and ensures the bridal party arrives together. There is a designated oversized vehicle loop on the south side of the grounds for easy boarding and unloading. Please note that while the grounds are open to the public daily, the interior is reserved for members; however, the views of the Great Salt Lake from this vantage point are a major draw for tour groups. Avoid the congestion of Bountiful Boulevard during the Sunday afternoon turnover by scheduling a dedicated shuttle that can stage off-site and return precisely when your session or ceremony concludes.

Woods Cross High School Athletics

For rival games or regional playoffs at Woods Cross High (600 W 2200 S, Woods Cross, UT 84087), navigating the border between Bountiful and Woods Cross is all about timing. Traffic on 500 West and 2600 South bottlenecks significantly between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. When transporting a football team or marching band, our 56-passenger school buses or charter buses provide the necessary capacity for both people and equipment. Buses should enter the school grounds via the southern gate off 2200 South to access the stadium-adjacent parking area. Trying to unload on the main road will result in traffic citations and safety hazards. We’ve worked with local schools across Davis County, so the drivers know exactly where the visiting team entrance is located. Our buses feature PA systems, allowing coaches to go over last-minute plays while the team relaxes in climate-controlled cabins. Ditch the stress of carpooling and ensure the whole roster arrives at the same time for warm-ups.

Bountiful Ridge Golf Club

Consistently ranked as one of the best public courses in Utah, Bountiful Ridge (2430 Bountiful Blvd, Bountiful, UT 84010) is a frequent site for corporate scrambles and charity tournaments. The parking lot is tiered and notoriously difficult for large vehicles to turn around in. We recommend utilizing a 35-passenger minibus for golf outings. Your driver can drop your group off directly at the bag drop near the clubhouse before parking in the designated oversized stalls at the far end of the lower lot. The course is open from dawn until dusk, weather permitting. Given the elevation, the weather can shift rapidly; having a climate-controlled bus waiting at the 18th hole is a major perk for your clients or employees. We can even provide buses with onboard WiFi so executives can stay connected between rounds. For groups coming from Salt Lake City, we take I-15 North to the 400 North exit to bypass the residential stop-and-go traffic on Orchard Drive.

Creekside Park

Located at 600 E Mill St, Bountiful, UT 84010, Creekside Park is the go-to spot for large-scale church picnics and community gatherings. It features a massive pavilion and a popular "all-abilities" playground. Because it is tucked into a residential neighborhood, street parking is highly restricted and local residents are quick to report blocked driveways. For groups of 50 or more, a charter bus is the only way to avoid a parking nightmare. Drivers should approach via 400 East to Mill Street, as the side streets to the south are too narrow for a 45-foot coach. We provide seamless drop-offs at the main pavilion entrance. The park is open from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. If you are planning a summer event, request a bus with a high-capacity A/C system to give your group a place to escape the 90-degree heat. By consolidating into one vehicle, you reduce the carbon footprint and the "traffic circus" typical of Saturday afternoon park events.

Lagoon Amusement Park (Nearby Attraction)

While technically in Farmington (375 N Lagoon Dr, Farmington, UT 84025), Lagoon is the primary destination for Bountiful-based youth groups and school trips. The 15-minute drive via I-15 North is simple, but the parking gate at Lagoon is a major bottleneck. Bus parking costs around $25-$30, but it allows you to park in the "South Lot" designated specifically for oversized vehicles, located near the Pioneer Village entrance. This is much closer than the general overflow lots. Lagoon's hours vary by season, usually opening at 10:00 AM. A 56-passenger motorcoach is the most cost-effective way to move a large class or ward group, coming out significantly cheaper per person than individual gas and parking fees. Our buses offer overhead storage for backpacks and souvenirs, plus onboard restrooms to eliminate the need for "emergency" stops along the short route. Avoid the I-15/US-89 split congestion by letting a driver navigate the Farmington interchanges.
