Silver Spring's proximity to the National Mall puts some of the country's best free educational destinations within 10 miles of most Montgomery County schools. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (10th St & Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC 20560), National Air and Space Museum (Independence Ave SW & 6th St SW, Washington, DC 20560), and National Zoo (3001 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008) are all reachable in 20–35 minutes from Silver Spring in off-peak traffic.
Charter buses offer real advantages over yellow school buses on these runs: reclining seats, climate control, TV monitors and DVD players for the ride, and overhead storage for lunch bags and backpacks. The National Zoo's main bus unloading is on Connecticut Avenue near the Visitor Center, and the Mall museums use designated group drop zones on Constitution Avenue — both routes are well inside the daily scope of our fleet. ADA-accessible buses are always available; just let us know ahead of time.
