Field Trip Buses to Arabia Mountain and DeKalb County Nature Sites
Need a bus to one of Stonecrest's own backyard gems? The Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area (3350 Klondike Rd, Lithonia, GA 30038) is one of the most unique outdoor education destinations in all of metro Atlanta — exposed granite monadnocks, rare plant communities, and guided programs that bring science standards to life. Bus drop-off is at the trailhead parking lot off Klondike Road, and the Arabia Mountain Alliance recommends contacting them in advance for large school groups.
Panola Mountain State Park (2620 GA-155, Stockbridge, GA 30281) is another excellent option just south of Stonecrest, with ecology and geology programs that require advance group reservations. Busrentalstonecrest.com makes it easy to compare buses for both destinations — fill out one form and see your options!

Atlanta Aquarium and Downtown Attraction Field Trip Shuttles
Whatever your destination in downtown Atlanta, a charter bus from Busrentalstonecrest.com's network handles the I-20 run so your group arrives together and on time. The Georgia Aquarium (225 Baker St NW, Atlanta, GA 30313), World of Coca-Cola (121 Baker St NW, Atlanta, GA 30313), National Center for Civil and Human Rights (100 Ivan Allen Jr Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30313), and Children's Museum of Atlanta (275 Centennial Olympic Park Dr NW, Atlanta, GA 30313) all share the same bus parking corridor at the Georgia World Congress Center Marshalling Yard (362 Ivan Allen Jr Blvd NW) — advance reservation required, with passes running $70–$180 depending on the date. Drop-off is on Baker Street NW at the main entrances.
One bus, one parking plan, one smooth field trip day!
For aquarium field trips, your bus uses the Group Entrance loading area at **Baker Street and Luckie Street**, then moves to the Marshalling Yard after unloading; buses over **6'8"** should use that yard, and the Georgia Aquarium directions and parking information keeps the drop-off address separate from the parking-deck route.

Passes must be reserved in advance and run $70–$180 depending on the date. Drop-off is on Baker Street NW at the main entrance.

Yes — the Arabia Mountain Alliance recommends that large school groups contact them in advance for guided programs at Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area. You can reach them at (770) 484-3060. Bus drop-off is at the trailhead parking lot off Klondike Road.
For Panola Mountain State Park, group reservations are required before arrival — call the venue directly at (770) 389-7801 to coordinate your school group's visit.
Stonecrest is approximately 16 miles east of downtown Atlanta via I-20, which translates to about 25–35 minutes off-peak. During morning rush hour (7–9 a.m.) or afternoon rush (4–7 p.m.), that run can stretch to 45–60 minutes or more. Plan your departure windows accordingly — most field trip groups heading to the Georgia Aquarium, Zoo Atlanta, or MLK National Historical Park benefit from a morning departure before 8 a.m. or after 9 a.m. to avoid the worst of I-20 congestion.
Fernbank Science Center is operated by DeKalb County School District and is free for DCSD public schools — which includes schools in Stonecrest. Private schools, charter schools, and schools outside DeKalb County should contact Fernbank Science Center directly at (678) 874-7102 to confirm eligibility and program availability. Bus drop-off is in the designated school bus loop on Heaton Park Drive.
It depends on your student and chaperone headcount! A 15-passenger minibus works well for small enrichment groups or split-class trips. A 25- or 35-passenger minibus fits a mid-size class with chaperones.
A 56-passenger charter bus handles a full grade-level run with undercarriage storage for backpacks and gear. Through Busrentalstonecrest.com, you can compare all of these sizes from a network of companies serving Stonecrest — just enter your headcount and see what's available for your date!
Book as early as possible — ideally 4–8 weeks in advance for most field trip dates. Spring field trip season (March through May) is the busiest stretch of the year across the Atlanta metro, and availability tightens fast. If your trip falls near a major Atlanta event or during prom season, book even earlier.
The sooner you compare options through Busrentalstonecrest.com, the more buses and pricing you'll have to choose from. Call 470-974-2660 or use the online tool to check availability for your date right now!
