School end-of-year trips, camp days and youth groups from North Jersey, Staten Island and the city to Hersheypark: out I-78 into Pennsylvania, a full day at the park, and everyone home on the same coach. Day trips and overnights.
Price the Hersheypark trip →Every trip runs under a licensed motor carrier’s New York or New Jersey DOT authority, with vehicles maintained and inspected on schedule.
Every driver is background-checked before they sit behind the wheel of a school group.
Each vehicle is checked before it rolls — not after the kids are loaded.
Every trip runs insured. A certificate of insurance is available for your school or organization on request.
Hersheypark is a long day from here, about three hours each way, so the bus side matters more than usual: the start time, the driver’s hours and where the coach waits.
Hersheypark’s rule is that parking is free for vehicles with 15 passengers or more. The park publishes no separate bus drop-off, so we confirm the drop with the park before the date.
In 2026 the park opened on spring weekends first and ran daily from mid-May, so weekday school trips land in late May and June. Book once the park posts the year’s calendar.
About three hours each way means an early start and a late return. Federal limits on a driver’s hours shape the day, and a park day that would run too long is planned as an overnight, with the coach staying.
Hershey’s Chocolate World, beside the park, has its own canopy drop-off for buses and sends them to free parking off site, so a stop there goes on the plan.
A Hersheypark day starts early: spot time is set ahead of the morning traffic, and the teacher and the driver have each other’s cell the night before.
About three to three and a half hours from Newark, Staten Island, Bergen County or Midtown on a weekday morning, on I-78 and the toll bridge into Pennsylvania. Tolls are itemized at cost.
The coach parks free at the park and the driver rests through the day, so the ride home leaves when the group is back at the gate.
The return is timed to your set departure from the park, and the trip leader gets a heads-up when the bus is ten minutes from the school.
The trip date, students and chaperones, the school address, and the time on your confirmation if you have it.
Gratuity and fuel are in the number and tolls are itemized at cost: one price a business office or PTA can approve.
Driver info the day before, one contact the morning of, and the bus at the school before the bell.
A class of 25 with its chaperones rides a mini coach. Two classes with chaperones, up to 55, fill a full coach.
The whole grade? Several buses leave the school together and arrive together, coordinated as one trip.
“Top notch service, we will definitely be riding with Glyde again.”
The date, the headcount and the school or camp address are enough to price the day or the overnight.
