Need a compact Type A mini or Type B small school bus seating approximately 10 to 24 adults for a smaller group outing to Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center (625 C St, Anchorage, AK 99501)? Done.
Transporting a full student group to Alaska Native Heritage Center (8800 Heritage Center Dr, Anchorage, AK 99504)? A large Type C conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults. Compare bus types side by side and choose the one that works for YOUR group.
At the Anchorage Museum, school buses use the drop-off zone at the Seventh Avenue entrance, and school field trips must be scheduled at least two weeks ahead.

At the Alaska Native Heritage Center, its free summer shuttle holds up to 15 passengers and operates first come, first served.
