A Group Travel Guide to Canton, Ohio's Best Destinations

Pro Football Hall of Fame

For sports fans, no trip to Canton is complete without a pilgrimage to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As the premier attraction in the city, the Hall draws hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to celebrate the history, legends, and heroes of professional football. Your group can explore the Gallery of Busts, experience the immersive "A Game for Life" holographic theater, and marvel at the Super Bowl rings display. It is the ultimate destination for youth sports teams , corporate outings , and fan clubs. However, during Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week or busy summer weekends, traffic around Harrison Avenue and parking can be a logistical nightmare for multiple vehicles.

When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Canton, you skip the parking headache entirely. We can drop your group off right near the entrance at 2121 George Halas Dr NW, Canton, OH 44708, so you can head straight for the gridiron action. If you are bringing a youth football team, our full-size charter buses offer ample undercarriage storage for equipment bags, coolers, and tailgating gear. After a long day of touring the museum and the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, your group can relax in reclining seats and air conditioning, perhaps watching highlights of their favorite games on the onboard TV monitors while your driver handles the navigation.

Gervasi Vineyard

If you are looking for a taste of Tuscany right here in Ohio, Gervasi Vineyard is a stunning destination perfect for weddings, corporate retreats, and large social gatherings. This 55-acre estate features a winery, a distillery, multiple restaurants (including The Bistro and The Crush House), and beautiful villas. It is a sprawling venue, and if your group plans on enjoying the award-winning wines and spirits, having a designated driver is not just a convenience—it is a necessity. Gervasi is located a bit north of the city center, making group coordination essential to keep everyone on schedule for dinner reservations or tour times.

Let Charter Bus Rental Company Canton be your sommelier of transportation. We can shuttle your wedding guests from local hotels directly to the pavilion for the ceremony and reception at 1700 55th St NE, Canton, OH 44721. For corporate groups, a minibus rental is perfect for moving your team from a seminar in the Villa Grande to a celebratory dinner at The Piazza. With a private bus rental, you ensure that every member of your party arrives safely and responsibly. You can even request a bus with WiFi and power outlets so your guests can share their beautiful vineyard photos on social media instantly as they travel between the vines.

McKinley Presidential Library & Museum

History buffs and science enthusiasts alike will find endless fascination at the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum. This hands-on science center and history museum chronicles the life and career of the 25th President of the United States, William McKinley, who called Canton home. The site also features the majestic McKinley National Memorial, where the President and his family are interred. This is a top-tier destination for school field trips in the Canton City School District and surrounding areas. Managing a large group of students on a field trip can be stressful, but our modern charter buses make it easy to keep everyone accounted for and comfortable.

Located at 800 McKinley Monument Dr NW, Canton, OH 44708, the museum is situated within a park setting that is beautiful but can be tricky for parking multiple cars. A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Canton allows for curbside drop-off, ensuring students and chaperones can disembark comfortably and head straight to the Planetarium or the Street of Shops. Unlike traditional yellow school buses, our charter buses come equipped with climate control and comfortable seating, making the ride to and from the museum a pleasant experience for students and teachers alike. We can even play educational documentaries on the onboard DVD players to prep the students for what they are about to see.

Canton Palace Theatre

Step back in time and experience the grandeur of the atmospheric Canton Palace Theatre. Opened in 1926, this historic theater in the heart of downtown Canton hosts movies, concerts, and special events throughout the year. Its breathtaking architecture, designed to look like a Spanish courtyard under a starry sky, makes it a cultural jewel of Stark County. Attending a show here is a magical experience, but parking in downtown Canton during a sold-out event or during First Friday festivities can be challenging for large groups trying to stick together.

With Charter Bus Rental Company Canton, your group can enjoy a VIP experience from start to finish. We can transport your theater-goers directly to the marquee entrance at 605 Market Ave N, Canton, OH 44702. Whether you are organizing a senior citizen outing to see a classic film or a corporate group attending a live performance, a private shuttle bus ensures that no one has to walk long distances in the cold or rain. After the curtain falls, your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to a late-night dinner or back to your point of origin, ensuring the magic of the evening isn't spoiled by traffic jams on Market Avenue.

First Ladies National Historic Site

Canton isn't just about presidents; it's also the home of the First Ladies National Historic Site. This unique destination, operated by the National Park Service, consists of two properties: the Education Center and the ancestral home of First Lady Ida Saxton McKinley. It is the only site in the world dedicated to preserving the history and contributions of America's First Ladies. This is an excellent stop for educational tours, women's groups, and history tours traveling through Northeast Ohio. Because tours of the Saxton House are guided and timed, punctuality is key for group visits.

When you book a bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Canton, we ensure your itinerary runs like clockwork. We can drop your group off at the Education Center located at 205 Market Ave S, Canton, OH 44702. While your group learns about the evolving role of the First Lady, your driver will handle the bus parking. This site is located right in the hustle and bustle of downtown, so having a driver navigate the one-way streets and intersections relieves the pressure on your group leaders. Pair this visit with a stop at the McKinley Monument for a full day of presidential history, all seamlessly connected by your private motorcoach.

MAPS Air Museum

Located just a short drive north near the Akron-Canton Airport, the MAPS Air Museum is an internationally known museum of aviation and serves as a center of aviation history for Northeast Ohio. With over 50 aircraft on display, including a F-14 Tomcat and a piece of the battleship USS Arizona, this is a fascinating destination for veterans groups, scout troops, and aviation enthusiasts. The museum is housed in a massive hangar, and exploring the exhibits can take several hours. Organizing a convoy of cars to get to the airport district can result in separated drivers and confusion.

A charter bus rental is the perfect solution for visiting MAPS at 2260 International Pkwy, North Canton, OH 44720. Our buses have plenty of room for large groups, including veterans who may require ADA-accessible features. Just let our reservation specialists know if you need a bus with a wheelchair lift, and we will ensure your vehicle is fully equipped to accommodate your needs. Your group can enjoy the short drive up I-77 together, sharing stories and building anticipation for the historical aircraft they are about to see. With plenty of storage overhead, you can easily stow away souvenirs from the gift shop for the ride home.

Hartville Kitchen, Hardware & Collectibles

While technically just outside of Canton, Hartville is a massive draw for groups visiting the area. The Hartville Kitchen is famous for its homestyle cooking and enormous portions, while Hartville Hardware is America's largest hardware store. Adjacent to these is the Hartville MarketPlace & Flea Market. Groups often spend an entire day here shopping and dining. It is a favorite destination for senior bus tours and large family gatherings. Because of the sheer volume of shopping that happens here, trunk space in cars runs out quickly.

Charter Bus Rental Company Canton offers the ideal way to experience Hartville. We can transport your group to 1015 Edison St NW, Hartville, OH 44632, where you can shop to your heart's content. The massive undercarriage luggage bays on our 56-passenger charter buses are perfect for storing all the unique finds, tools, and bakery goods your group will inevitably purchase. Instead of coordinating a meetup spot in the sprawling parking lots, your group can simply return to the bus at a designated time to head to lunch at the Kitchen or move between the Flea Market and the Hardware store with ease.

Canton Museum of Art

Situated within the Cultural Center for the Arts, the Canton Museum of Art is one of Ohio's premier art museums, focusing on American watercolors and contemporary ceramics. It creates a sophisticated backdrop for educational trips, art appreciation societies, and private events. The museum hosts traveling exhibits and offers workshops that are fantastic for groups. Located downtown, it is part of the vibrant arts district that comes alive, especially during First Friday events.

Transportation to the museum at 1001 Market Ave N, Canton, OH 44702 is effortless with Charter Bus Rental Company Canton. Whether you are bringing a class of art students or a group of patrons for a gallery opening, a minibus or charter bus adds a layer of class and convenience. Forget feeding parking meters or walking blocks from a parking garage. Your driver provides door-to-door service.
