A Group Travel Guide to Orland Park, Illinois's Best Destinations

Orland Square Mall

For groups who love to shop 'til they drop, Orland Square Mall is the undisputed king of retail in the southwest suburbs. As the largest shopping center in the Chicago Southland, it features over 150 stores, including major anchors like Macy's and Von Maur, alongside popular favorites like Apple and H&M. Groups often flock here for holiday shopping excursions or just a day of retail therapy. The surrounding area also boasts dozens of restaurants, making it easy to plan a full day of browsing and dining. Navigating the massive parking lots, especially during peak holiday seasons, can be a nightmare for a caravan of cars.

When you rent a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Orland Park, we can drop your group off right at a designated entrance—perhaps near the Cheesecake Factory for lunch or the main atrium. While you shop, your driver handles the bus, waiting nearby to pick you up when you are laden with bags. With the ample undercarriage storage available on our 56-passenger motorcoaches, you never have to worry about running out of trunk space for your purchases. It’s the ultimate VIP shopping experience.

Centennial Park & Aquatic Center

Centennial Park is the crown jewel of the Orland Park Recreation Department and a fantastic destination for youth groups, summer camps, and active families. In the summer, the Centennial Park Aquatic Center (CPAC) is the main draw, featuring a zero-depth pool, water slides, a lazy river, and cliff jumps. It’s widely considered one of the best public pools in Illinois. Beyond the water, the park encompasses 192 acres of fun, including ice skating rinks in the winter, fishing piers, and walking paths. For large groups, coordinating arrival times at a busy aquatic center can be difficult, but a bus rental simplifies the process entirely.

Charter Bus Rental Company Orland Park frequently transports day camps and school groups to CPAC. Our buses provide a cool, air-conditioned environment for students to rest after a long day in the sun. If you are visiting for a winter skate, our heated cabins offer a warm respite from the cold Illinois air. We can coordinate drop-offs right at the gate so your group stays together, ensuring chaperones can keep an accurate headcount before entering the facility. Whether you are carrying swim gear or ice skates, our buses have the room you need.

Space Golf

If you are looking for a unique, indoor activity that appeals to teenagers, corporate teams, or birthday parties, Space Golf is an out-of-this-world experience located right in Orland Park. This isn't your grandfather’s mini-golf course; Space Golf features a glowing, blacklight-lit 18-hole course filled with alien landscapes, flying saucers, and giant robots. It is a fantastic option for rainy days or evening entertainment. It’s particularly popular for youth groups and quirky corporate ice-breakers.

Booking a minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Orland Park allows your group to keep the energy high from the moment you leave your starting point.

Orland Grassland

For groups seeking serenity and a touch of nature, Orland Grassland offers a stunning escape from the suburban bustle. This 960-acre open space preserve is part of the Forest Preserves of Cook County and offers a glimpse into what the Illinois landscape looked like prior to settlement. It is an excellent destination for educational field trips, bird-watching clubs, or photography groups. The paved loop trail is roughly 5 miles long, making it accessible for walkers and cyclists alike.

Transportation to nature preserves can often be tricky due to limited parking at trailheads. A charter bus rental solves this problem instantly. We can drop your group off at the main trailhead and return at a scheduled time, or wait while you explore the prairie restoration areas. If your group is bringing hiking gear, binoculars, or picnic supplies, the overhead bins inside the bus keep your personal items organized and safe. After a long hike, there is nothing better than relaxing in a reclining seat in a climate-controlled bus on the way home.

It is a go-to spot for end-of-year school celebrations, large birthday bashes, and corporate team-building events looking to blow off some steam. Coordinating a large group of excited kids or energetic adults in a crowded venue is hard enough; getting them there shouldn't be the difficult part.

Let Charter Bus Rental Company Orland Park handle the drive so you can focus on the fun. We can provide a fleet of school buses for large student groups or a sleek minibus for a corporate outing.

Marcus Orland Park Cinema

Sometimes, the best group activity is simply sharing a story together. The Marcus Orland Park Cinema offers a premium movie-going experience with heated DreamLounger recliner seating and a SuperScreen DLX options. This is a popular destination for senior citizen groups, school rewards trips, or private screenings for large parties. Located conveniently near Orland Square Mall, it can easily be combined with a shopping or dining trip.

Why rent a bus for a movie? It keeps the group cohesive. Instead of meeting in the lobby and hoping everyone found a parking spot, your group arrives together, ready to grab their popcorn and find their seats. If you are planning a private screening or a corporate presentation at the theater, a charter bus adds a layer of professionalism and convenience that personal vehicles simply cannot match. Charter Bus Rental Company Orland Park ensures punctual arrival so you never miss the previews.
