A Group Travel Guide to Sunrise, Florida's Best Destinations

Shop 'Til You Drop at Sawgrass Mills

If there is one destination that puts Sunrise on the map, it is undoubtedly Sawgrass Mills. As the largest outlet and value retail shopping destination in the United States, this massive complex attracts millions of visitors annually. With more than 350 stores, including The Colonnade Outlets which features luxury brands like Gucci, Prada, and Versace, your group could easily spend an entire day—or two—exploring the miles of storefronts. Navigating the parking lot here, however, is a notorious challenge. The sheer size of the complex means that parking spots are at a premium, and finding multiple spots for a caravan of cars is nearly impossible during peak hours.

When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Sunrise, you bypass the parking headache entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right at the specific entrance you need—whether that's near the Fashion Avenue, the Oasis, or the Colonnade—and pick you up curbside when you are finished. Plus, one of the biggest benefits of a charter bus for a shopping trip is the storage! Our full-size motorcoaches come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays. You don’t have to worry about fitting all those shopping bags into a cramped trunk; there is plenty of room for everyone’s haul. After a long day of walking, your group will appreciate collapsing into plush, reclining seats and enjoying the air conditioning on the ride home.

Cheer on the Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena

Sports fans know that Sunrise is the home of the NHL's Florida Panthers! The Amerant Bank Arena (formerly the FLA Live Arena and BB&T Center) is the premier destination for sports and live entertainment in Broward County. Whether you are rallying a group of die-hard hockey fans for a playoff game, taking a youth sports team to see the pros in action, or heading to a sold-out concert by a major touring artist, the energy here is electric. However, game-day traffic on the Sawgrass Expressway and the congestion entering the arena parking gates can be a major buzzkill if you are driving yourself.

Charter Bus Sunrise offers the ultimate game-day transportation solution. By booking a private bus, you keep your entire group together, ensuring no one gets lost in the crowd or stuck in traffic delays. You can turn the bus into your pre-game headquarters! With onboard amenities like flat-screen TVs and a PA system, you can play hype videos, listen to music, and get everyone in the spirit before you even arrive. Your driver will handle the navigation and drop you off close to the entrance, so you can head straight for the concessions or your seats. After the final buzzer or the encore, you won’t have to fight the gridlock to leave the parking lot; your driver will be waiting to whisk you away safely.

Outdoor Adventure at Markham Park & Target Range

For groups looking to embrace the Florida sunshine and enjoy some outdoor recreation, Markham Park & Target Range is a sprawling 669-acre facility that offers something for everyone. It is located right on the edge of the Everglades Conservation Area, providing a scenic backdrop for a day of fun. The park features a world-class outdoor target range, an expansive mountain bike trail system (rare for South Florida!), a model airplane field, campgrounds, and an observatory for stargazing. It is a fantastic destination for Boy Scout troops, corporate team-building outings, or family reunions.

Transporting equipment to Markham Park can be difficult if you are relying on personal vehicles. If your group is bringing mountain bikes, camping gear, or sports equipment, a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Sunrise is the perfect logistical solution. Our buses offer ample storage space to securely transport your gear. Once you arrive, your group can spread out and enjoy the park's amenities, knowing that a cool, comfortable bus is waiting for the return trip. If you are planning an overnight camping trip for a large group, we can arrange drop-off and pick-up services that align perfectly with your schedule, ensuring your outdoor adventure goes off without a hitch.

Family Fun at Welleby Park

If you are looking for a more relaxed atmosphere for a family reunion, a church picnic, or a school field trip with younger children, Welleby Park is a hidden gem in the heart of Sunrise. This beautifully maintained park features extensive walking paths, a large children's playground with a splash pad (perfect for cooling off in the humid Florida weather), and several picnic pavilions available for rent. It is a community hub that offers a safe and engaging environment for groups to gather and unwind.

Booking a minibus with Charter Bus Sunrise is the best way to get your family or student group to Welleby Park. Instead of coordinating a convoy of cars and worrying about whether everyone has the correct directions, your entire group travels together. This allows for bonding time on the road—you can play games, sing songs, or simply catch up with relatives you haven't seen in a while. The drivers prioritize comfort, giving parents and chaperones peace of mind. We can drop you right at the pavilion entrance so you can start your picnic immediately. Don't let the logistics of moving a large family or class detract from the fun; let us handle the driving.

Tee Time at The Bridges at Springtree Golf Club

Sunrise is home to excellent golfing opportunities, and The Bridges at Springtree Golf Club is a favorite for locals and visitors alike. This well-manicured executive course offers a challenging yet accessible experience for golfers of all skill levels. With its beautiful waterways and scenic landscaping, it is a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is an ideal destination for corporate outings, bachelor parties, or retirement celebrations.

When you organize a golf outing for a large group, transportation is key. You don't want to split up into foursomes in different cars and risk someone arriving late for their tee time. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Sunrise, your entire group arrives at the clubhouse simultaneously. Our buses have plenty of room to store golf clubs safely in the luggage bays, ensuring they don't get damaged during transit. Plus, after a long day on the greens and perhaps a few drinks at the clubhouse grille, you have a built-in designated driver to ensure everyone gets back to the hotel or office safely. Enjoy the game and let us worry about the road.

Culture and Arts at the Sunrise Civic Center Theatre

For groups interested in the performing arts, the Sunrise Civic Center Theatre is the cultural heartbeat of the city. This intimate venue hosts a variety of performances throughout the year, including Broadway-style musicals, children's theater productions, concerts, and dance recitals. It is part of a larger complex that includes an art gallery and an aquatics center, making it a versatile destination for school field trips , senior center outings, and community groups.

Arranging a trip to the theater is much easier with Charter Bus Sunrise. We can coordinate with your group leader to ensure you arrive with plenty of time to find your seats before the curtain rises. For senior groups, the accessibility of a charter bus is a major advantage. We can provide ADA-compliant buses upon request, ensuring that every member of your group can participate comfortably. Unlike public transportation or rideshares, a private bus allows your group to stay together and discuss the performance on the way home. It turns a simple night out at the theater into a cohesive social event.

Active Entertainment at Rebounderz Sunrise

If you are planning a birthday party, a youth group event, or a high-energy team-building activity, Rebounderz Sunrise is the place to be. This extreme fun center features wall-to-wall trampolines, a ninja warrior course, dodgeball, and a massive indoor playground. It is a fantastic way to burn off energy and have a blast in a safe, air-conditioned environment. It is particularly popular for middle school and high school groups looking for something active and engaging.

Transporting a large group of excited kids or teenagers can be chaotic, but Charter Bus Sunrise makes it simple. The drivers handle student groups and maintain a schedule. By keeping everyone on one bus, chaperones can easily keep track of headcount and ensure that the excitement remains contained and safe. Our modern buses come equipped with WiFi and power outlets, so the kids can stay entertained on their devices during the drive to and from the venue. We make the journey just as easy as the destination is fun.

Relaxation at The Spa at The glamorous destination

Sometimes, the goal of a group trip is pure relaxation. While Sunrise is known for shopping and sports, it is also close to some high-end wellness experiences. For bachelorette parties or bridal showers, organizing a spa day is a fantastic idea. While there are many local spots, groups often head to specialized salons or day spas in the area for pampering. Creating a custom itinerary that includes a spa visit followed by a nice dinner is a specialty of ours.

Imagine your group boarding a luxurious minibus, sipping on iced coffees (or mimosas, if you arrange it!), and heading to a day of massages and facials without a worry in the world. With Charter Bus Sunrise, you don't have to stress about traffic on University Drive or finding parking at a busy plaza. Your driver acts as your personal chauffeur for the day. After your treatments, we can shuttle you directly to a top-rated restaurant like Seasons 52 or Bahama Breeze for a celebratory meal. It elevates the entire experience from a simple appointment to a VIP event.
