Party Bus St Paul is a leading group transportation company serving St Paul, Minnesota, with over 15 years coordinating everything from single-bus birthday runs to multi-vehicle corporate shuttle contracts spanning the entire metro.

You will know the exact, all-inclusive price before you ever commit to a booking.
We offer a massive variety of vehicles, meaning you never have to pay for seats you do not actually need. A 15- to 20-passenger party bus handles a tight bachelorette crew on Payne Avenue perfectly. A full 56-passenger charter bus handles a convention-scale transfer from the Saint Paul RiverCentre without issue.

Our fleet covers every group size you could need in the Twin Cities. Browse 14-passenger Sprinter limos, Sprinter vans, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses.

Party buses in the 15- to 50-passenger range come loaded with a full-length onboard bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating — so the celebration starts the moment you pull away from the curb on Summit Avenue. Minibuses feature powerful climate control and plush reclining seats, a genuine asset when a January game day in St Paul means real cold outside the windows.
Full-size charter buses add WiFi, power outlets at every row, a PA system, an onboard restroom, and undercarriage luggage bays that swallow hockey gear, presentation equipment, or a weekend’s worth of bags without a second thought. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just mention your needs when you reserve.

Party Bus St Paul offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact price before you ever book.

Getting a large group across the Twin Cities sounds straightforward until I-94 backs up solid between downtown St Paul and downtown Minneapolis on a Friday evening, Grand Casino Arena empties 18,000 fans onto Kellogg Boulevard after a sellout Wild game, or a January ice storm turns the post-game drive into a two-hour crawl nobody planned for. That is where a single, coordinated St Paul bus rental changes everything: one vehicle, one plan, one flat price — and no one drawing straws for who stays sober on the way home.
Since 2011, we have coordinated thousands of trips across Ramsey County and the broader metro. We know that I-35E backs up through Lexington Parkway on major game days, that Lowertown surface lots near CHS Field fill well before first pitch on a summer Friday, and that MSP’s ground transportation queue on a busy Sunday afternoon can run 30 minutes without warning. We handle the routing, the timing, and getting everyone home after.
You enjoy the ride.
Our 24/7/365 reservation team picks up every call, our online quote tool delivers all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds, and ADA-accessible vehicles are always on standby. Whether you need one minibus or a full fleet, Party Bus St Paul delivers the right size at the right price, every time. Give us a call at 218-520-3551 to get started!
Party Bus St Paul coordinates group transportation for every occasion across the Twin Cities metro. From MSP airport shuttles and Saint Paul RiverCentre convention transfers, to wedding shuttles, prom nights, Wild game days, bachelorette parties, corporate shuttle contracts, and school field trips — whatever brings your group together in St Paul, we have a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 218-520-3551 to get your group moving today!
Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) (4300 Glumack Dr, St Paul, MN 55111) sits roughly 8 miles southwest of downtown St Paul via I-35E — but “8 miles” on a Sunday evening with heavy inbound traffic past the Mendota Bridge can stretch into a 45-minute crawl. MSP handles over 40 million passengers annually across two terminals: Terminal 1 (Lindbergh) and Terminal 2 (Humphrey). The two buildings are connected by a free automated tram, which adds five to ten minutes to the assembly process when your group arrives on different concourses.
Commercial bus pickup operates from the Ground Transportation Center (GTC), connected to Terminal 1’s Level 1 baggage claim. Once your full group has retrieved luggage and assembled at the agreed meeting point, your coordinator calls our team so the bus can pull into the GTC commercial bus lane — do not make that call until everyone is together, because MSP loading windows are limited. For Terminal 2 arrivals, the tram ride to the GTC adds roughly five minutes, so factor that in.
We also serve groups departing from St Paul Downtown Airport (STP) (644 Bayfield St, St Paul, MN 55107) in Lowertown. Review the official MSP ground transportation page before you land. Call 218-520-3551 to book your St Paul airport shuttle today!
St Paul’s nightlife runs from craft cocktail lounges on Cathedral Hill to the late-night venues along West Seventh Street — and doing it right means nobody in the group navigates one-way streets near Irvine Park at 1 a.m. or debates who draws the short straw to stay sober. A St Paul bachelorette party bus covers the full Grand Avenue dining and bar corridor, loops through the West Seventh stretch, and swings into Lowertown near Mears Park without anyone worrying about parking validation or a post-midnight surge.
Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and flat-panel TVs. For groups extending the night across the river to Minneapolis — First Avenue, the North Loop bar district on Washington Avenue — we cover the full metro corridor all evening without a second booking. Call 218-520-3551 now!
A party bus arrival is one of the most memorable entrances your crew can make for a milestone birthday in St Paul. Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses are fully customizable — pre-load a custom playlist, set the lighting color scheme, and choose a vehicle size that matches your headcount so you never pay for empty seats. Whether the celebration heads to a reception venue in Maplewood, a dinner along Grand Avenue, or a full night out in the Lowertown entertainment district near Mears Park, we match the vehicle to the itinerary.
For adult milestone birthdays — cocktails at the Saint Paul Hotel (350 Market St, St Paul, MN 55102), late nights at Amsterdam Bar & Hall (6 W 6th St, St Paul, MN 55102), or a cross-metro tour ending at a Minneapolis rooftop bar — one party bus keeps everyone together and on schedule instead of split across a caravan of rideshares in the dark. Call 218-520-3551 any time to plan your St Paul birthday celebration!
Grand Casino Arena (175 W Kellogg Blvd, St Paul, MN 55102) seats over 18,000 for concerts and sports events, and it sells out for virtually every major touring act. The RiverCentre Garage and the Cedar Street surface lots fill within the first hour of gates opening on sellout nights, and rideshare pickup on West Seventh Street backs up 20 to 30 minutes post-show when the entire crowd reaches for their phones at once. A St Paul concert bus rental drops your group steps from the Kellogg Boulevard main entrance and waits nearby for the pickup window you set in advance — no surge pricing, no splitting 20 people into five separate cars at midnight.
The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts (345 Washington St, St Paul, MN 55102) and the Palace Theatre (17 W 7th Pl, St Paul, MN 55102) both sit within two blocks of the same Kellogg Boulevard drop zone, making one bus viable for a Rice Park area evening out. For stadium-scale tours at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis — 12 miles up I-94 — a charter bus handles the full group across the river and back in one trip. Call 218-520-3551 now!
The Saint Paul RiverCentre (175 W Kellogg Blvd, St Paul, MN 55102) shares its address block with Grand Casino Arena and the Radisson Blu hotel, forming a compact convention campus on Kellogg Boulevard that works smoothly — if you have one bus dropping everyone off instead of 40 cars navigating downtown St Paul’s one-way street grid. Charter bus drop-off at the RiverCentre uses the Kellogg Boulevard commercial vehicle lane, with the bus waiting near West Seventh. The on-site RiverCentre Garage maxes out fast on peak convention days, and hourly rates compound quickly for multi-day events.
For companies on the Capitol Campus near Park Street, in the Lowertown district, or along the University Avenue technology corridor, a dedicated employee shuttle replaces the daily I-94 crawl with WiFi, power outlets, and a seat that actually lets your team work on the way in. We coordinate recurring shuttle loops, one-time executive transfers, and full conference transportation contracts. Call 218-520-3551 to discuss St Paul corporate shuttle rates and fleet options!
The Minnesota State Fair (1265 Snelling Ave N, Falcon Heights, MN 55108) runs 12 days from late August through Labor Day and draws over 2 million visitors — making the Snelling Avenue approach one of the most reliably gridlocked corridors in the state during fair season. Fairgrounds parking fills before noon on peak weekends, and satellite lots along Como Avenue require connecting shuttles that add 45 minutes each way. A St Paul private charter bus drops your reunion group, company outing, or neighborhood crew at the Snelling Avenue gate before the worst of it develops, for a single predictable cost split across the whole group.
St Paul’s Winter Carnival in late January and early February brings ice sculpture displays, the Grand Parade on Wabasha Street, and the Medallion Hunt across multiple neighborhoods — and keeps Rice Park packed on consecutive weekends. A party bus keeps your group together across multiple event sites without juggling parking permits in sub-zero temperatures. Grand Old Day on Grand Avenue each June, drawing tens of thousands along a 17-block stretch, makes parking in Macalester-Groveland impossible from mid-morning onward — book the bus as soon as your date is confirmed.
Both events fill our calendar early. Call 218-520-3551!
Prom season in the Twin Cities runs from late April through late May, and high schools across Ramsey and Dakota Counties — from Johnson Senior High to Highland Park Senior High to Cretin-Derham Hall — all hold events within the same six-week window. Demand for party buses spikes fast, and the vehicles with the right amenities get claimed early. For prom: book by January or expect limited selection and premium pricing by March.
A typical 6-hour prom rental for 30 students — school pickup, a photo stop at Mears Park or the Cathedral of Saint Paul steps, venue drop-off at a Woodbury or Eagan ballroom, and after-party return — costs $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive when booked four to six months out. The same package booked two weeks before prom runs $2,800–$3,500 or comes back with no availability. Party Bus St Paul works with parent committees and student groups across the east metro to confirm pickup plans and keep prom night running on schedule.
Call 218-520-3551 today to lock in your date!
Teachers and administrators across the St Paul Public Schools district rely on Party Bus St Paul for field trip transportation because we coordinate arrivals, manage headcount logistics, and work within the tight turnaround windows that school schedules demand. The Science Museum of Minnesota (120 W Kellogg Blvd, St Paul, MN 55102) is the metro’s most popular school field trip destination, with bus drop-off in the designated loading zone on Chestnut Street directly west of the main entrance — no extended walks, no crossing busy downtown intersections with a class in tow.
Our charter buses offer real advantages over traditional yellow school buses: onboard TV monitors keep students engaged on longer runs to the Minneapolis Institute of Art or the Bell Museum, overhead bins store lunchboxes and backpacks off the floor, and undercarriage bays handle equipment or project supplies without crowding the cabin. For full-grade trips, a fleet of two or three minibuses keeps teachers together with their own sections while still arriving as one coordinated group. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just let us know in advance.
Call 218-520-3551 for school field trip bus rentals in St Paul!
St Paul runs deep on sports. Wild games at Grand Casino Arena pack Kellogg Boulevard with 18,000-plus fans; Saints games at CHS Field (200 Broadway St, St Paul, MN 55101) in Lowertown fill the Broadway surface lots before first pitch on summer Fridays; and Minnesota United FC matches at Allianz Field (1023 Snelling Ave N, St Paul, MN 55108) drop 19,400 fans onto the Snelling–Energy Park Drive intersection, a corridor with essentially no clean post-match parking solution if you drove yourself.
A St Paul charter bus or party bus rental puts the group together from pickup to gate, builds the pregame energy onboard, and waits nearby for the post-game pickup while the Cedar Street ramp exits stack up behind pedestrian clearance. Soccer fans heading to Allianz Field benefit most — Snelling Avenue north of University is a narrow approach for a 19,400-seat venue, and a bus drops your supporters’ section at the main entrance instead of sending everyone to overflow lots four blocks away. For Twins and Vikings games across the river at Target Field or U.S. Bank Stadium, we cover the full Minneapolis corridor in one run.
Call 218-520-3551!
A St Paul wedding shuttle takes the coordination weight off your shoulders on the biggest day of the year. If your ceremony is at the Cathedral of Saint Paul (239 Selby Ave, St Paul, MN 55102) and your reception is in Lowertown or across the river in the North Loop, your out-of-town guests should not be navigating I-35E in formal wear at 6 p.m. A wedding minibus runs a clean loop from the hotel block on Kellogg Boulevard to Selby Avenue, then moves into place for the reception run — clear pickup windows, staged departures, a single point of contact from the first quote to the final drop.
Receptions at the University Club of Saint Paul (420 Summit Ave, St Paul, MN 55102) on the historic Summit Avenue bluff, at Harriet Island Regional Park pavilions on the riverfront, or at venues in Woodbury and Eagan all present parking headaches your guests will quietly resent. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo makes the perfect bridal party vehicle for the day itself — tinted privacy windows, premium leather, and individual USB charging while everyone gets ready together. Call 218-520-3551 for a free wedding transportation quote!
The Twin Cities craft brewing scene is big enough to fill a full weekend tour, and St Paul’s own taproom stretch gives you a strong local-only itinerary before you even cross the river. Urban Growler Brewing (2325 Endicott St, St Paul, MN 55114) in the Midway, Dual Citizen Brewing (725 Raymond Ave, St Paul, MN 55114) near the Raymond–University corridor, and Vine Park Brewing (1254 W 7th St, St Paul, MN 55102) on West Seventh — those three stops make a satisfying afternoon. Add wine and cheese along Grand Avenue and you have a full evening without leaving the city.
A St Paul party bus rental keeps the entire group together from the first pour to last call — no dividing into two cars at every stop, no deciding who stays sober at Dual Citizen, no hunting for street parking on Raymond Avenue on a Saturday evening. For tours extending into Northeast Minneapolis, we cover the full metro corridor all night. Call 218-520-3551 for a free quote!

We rented the bus for my mom's surprise 60th and it was the highlight of the whole night. Booking took maybe ten minutes over the phone and they answered every question I threw at them. The lights and sound inside had everyone dancing before we even left the curb, and getting around St Paul without anyone worrying about parking was such a relief. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Got a group of twelve together for a St Paul game day and this was honestly the smartest call we made all season. The bus rolled up right on time, plenty of room to spread out, and we kept the music going the whole ride. No scrambling for spots near the stadium and nobody had to skip the fun to drive. Pickup after the game was just as smooth. Everyone's already asking when we do it next.
Priya R.
Organized a girls' night for eight of us and it could not have been easier. The person who took my booking was patient and laid out the options clearly with no pressure. The bus itself felt brand new inside, comfy seats and a great sound setup. We bounced around St Paul all evening and it honestly felt like our own little private club on wheels. Five stars from all of us.
Gregory H.
Used them to shuttle our wedding party between the ceremony and reception. Everything ran like clockwork, which is exactly what you want on a day with a hundred moving parts. The ride was smooth and roomy enough for everyone's dresses and suits, and they coordinated the timing with us beforehand so nobody felt rushed. Cannot thank them enough for keeping that part of our day stress free.
St Paul party bus rental prices vary based on vehicle size, date, and how many hours you need. Our pricing: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and full-size charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. The fastest way to get an accurate number for your specific date and itinerary is to call 218-520-3551 — we deliver all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds with no surprises.
Grand Casino Arena (175 W Kellogg Blvd, St Paul, MN 55102) uses the Kellogg Boulevard commercial vehicle corridor for charter bus drop-off, putting your group steps from the main arena entrance. After unloading, the bus waits on West Seventh Street or in the hold area near the Science Museum campus. The Cedar Street ramp and the Kellogg surface lots fill fast on sellout Wild nights and major concerts — booking a bus cuts out the parking scramble entirely.
We recommend checking the official Grand Casino Arena parking page before your event to confirm current lot assignments and any event-day road closures on Kellogg.
MSP uses a centralized Ground Transportation Center (GTC) connected to both Terminal 1 (Lindbergh) and Terminal 2 (Humphrey) by a free automated tram. Once your full group has retrieved luggage and assembled — everyone, not just most of the party — the designated coordinator calls our team so the bus can pull into the GTC commercial bus lane. Do not make that call until everyone is together and moving to the curb.
Terminal 2 arrivals should account for a five-minute tram ride to the GTC. We highly recommend reviewing the official MSP ground transportation page before your flight lands for any updates to commercial vehicle procedures.
Yes. Allianz Field (1023 Snelling Ave N, St Paul, MN 55108) accommodates commercial vehicle drop-off on Snelling Avenue near the Energy Park Drive entrance. On match days the Snelling–Energy Park corridor tightens well before kickoff — arriving at least 90 minutes ahead of the first whistle clears the approach comfortably.
Bus parking is arranged through the venue’s event operations team for each match date. Check the official MNUFC parking page for current match-day road closures and lot assignments before your visit.
The Minnesota State Fair (1265 Snelling Ave N, Falcon Heights, MN 55108) runs 12 days in late August and early September and draws over 2 million visitors, making it the largest annual event in Minnesota by attendance. Transportation inventory across the metro tightens starting in early July as groups lock in their dates. Book by June to secure your preferred vehicle and time slot — last-minute August bookings are possible but typically come back with limited vehicle options and higher pricing.
The fair’s Grandstand concert series also draws major touring acts through the summer, adding separate demand spikes on concert nights. Call 218-520-3551 as soon as your group size is confirmed.
We recommend booking at least three to six months in advance to secure the best price and widest vehicle selection. Minnesota State Fair weekends in late August and early September, Wild and MNUFC playoff stretches from April through June, and prom season across Ramsey and Dakota County high schools from late April through May are the three stretches where our calendar fills fastest. For prom specifically, book by January — the compressed six-week prom window depletes available party buses hard, and April last-minute calls routinely come back with limited options and significantly higher rates.
For most other events outside those peaks, two to four weeks of lead time works — but earlier always gives you better choices. Call 218-520-3551 to lock in your date!
A St Paul party bus itinerary can include landmarks, sports venues, performing arts stops, and outdoor destinations across the city and the broader Twin Cities metro. Here are six of the most popular stops our groups visit — along with the specific logistics details that actually matter when a bus is involved.
Grand Casino Arena (175 W Kellogg Blvd, St Paul, MN 55102) is home to the Minnesota Wild and one of the premier concert venues in the upper Midwest, with an 18,064-seat capacity and a year-round event calendar that includes the NCHC Frozen Faceoff each March and major touring acts from spring through fall. Commercial bus drop-off runs along Kellogg Boulevard, with the bus waiting on West Seventh Street or in the hold area near the Science Museum campus. The RiverCentre Garage and Cedar Street surface lots fill within the first hour on sellout nights; none are sold at the gate.
We recommend reviewing the official Grand Casino Arena parking page before your visit to confirm current approach routes and any event-day closures on Kellogg Boulevard.
Address: 175 W Kellogg Blvd, St Paul, MN 55102
Phone: (651) 265-4800
Allianz Field (1023 Snelling Ave N, St Paul, MN 55108) opened in 2019 as the permanent home of Minnesota United FC and seats 19,400 fans in a soccer-specific stadium in the Midway neighborhood. MLS regular season runs March through October, and rivalry matches and postseason rounds routinely sell out. On-site parking is sharply limited for a venue this size — most fans park in the Midway Shopping Center lots or on street blocks along Energy Park Drive.
A party bus drops your supporters’ section at the Snelling Avenue main entrance and waits in the approved commercial hold area, avoiding the post-match pedestrian clearance that can stretch 30 to 45 minutes on a capacity night. Check the MNUFC parking page for current match-day protocols and any temporary Snelling Avenue closures.
Address: 1023 Snelling Ave N, St Paul, MN 55108
Phone: (651) 604-1460
CHS Field (200 Broadway St, St Paul, MN 55101) is a 7,210-seat ballpark in St Paul’s Lowertown neighborhood and home to the St Paul Saints, the Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. The season runs April through September, with 75 home games on the schedule. Lowertown is one of St Paul’s most walkable and bar-dense districts, excellent for pre-game strolling around Mears Park and genuinely difficult for parking on a summer Friday night when the Broadway Farmers Market, the Wacouta Street restaurants, and the ballgame all compete for the same surface lots.
Bus drop-off uses Broadway Street near the main gate, with the bus waiting in the commercial hold areas on the Mears Park plaza side. A minibus booked for a Lowertown pre-game crawl followed by a Saints game is one of our most popular summer itineraries. Call 218-520-3551.

The Science Museum of Minnesota (120 W Kellogg Blvd, St Paul, MN 55102) draws over 750,000 visitors annually to its Mississippi River bluff location — a 370,000-square-foot building housing permanent collections in paleontology, anthropology, and technology, plus an Omnitheater with a 76-foot domed screen and rotating IMAX programming. It is the metro’s most-visited school field trip destination. Bus drop-off and unloading uses the designated Chestnut Street loading zone one block west of the main entrance, with buses waiting on Kellogg Boulevard during extended visits.
School groups should contact the museum’s group programs team at least four weeks in advance to reserve Omnitheater showtimes and timed-entry slots. Review the official Science Museum directions page before your visit for current loading zone access and any group program updates.

The Minnesota State Fairgrounds (1265 Snelling Ave N, Falcon Heights, MN 55108) hosts the Minnesota State Fair across 12 days ending on Labor Day — one of the largest state fairs in the United States by total attendance, routinely drawing over 2 million visitors. Beyond the fair, the Grandstand concert series runs May through September in its 13,000-seat open-air venue, drawing major touring acts all summer. Snelling Avenue is the primary approach corridor and operates as a transit-priority street on peak fair days, with Metro Transit running high-frequency service from downtown St Paul.
Charter buses access the fairgrounds via the Snelling Avenue gate, with bus parking coordinated through the Fairgrounds’ special events operations team. We highly recommend checking the official State Fair transportation page well before your visit, as parking lot assignments and shuttle routes shift each season.

The Cathedral of Saint Paul (239 Selby Ave, St Paul, MN 55102) is one of the largest Catholic cathedrals in the United States — a French Renaissance Revival landmark completed in 1915 and seating over 3,000 in its main nave. It anchors the Cathedral Hill neighborhood at the top of the Summit Avenue bluff and stands as one of the Twin Cities’ most sought-after ceremony venues for milestone weddings and major commemorations. Street parking on Selby and the surrounding Cathedral Hill blocks is metered and limited; the nearest structured ramp is several blocks east on Cedar Street.
For wedding parties and large groups, a minibus loops guests from the downtown hotel corridor on Kellogg Boulevard directly to the Selby Avenue entrance — nobody wrestles with the one-way grid on Summit Avenue in formal wear. The Cathedral is open daily for self-guided visits; group tours should be arranged through the parish office in advance.
