All four major airports in the Los Angeles region are accessible from Alhambra. LAX is about 18 miles southwest via I-10 W to I-405 S. Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) is roughly 22 miles northwest. Long Beach Airport (LGB) is about 22 miles south via SR-710 S. Ontario International Airport (ONT) is about 28 miles east on the I-10.
Drive times vary significantly with LA traffic, so build in extra buffer—especially for LAX on weekday afternoons.
SoFi Stadium is about 20 miles southwest of Alhambra via I-10 W to I-405 S or I-110 S—a stretch notorious for severe event-day congestion. Oversized vehicles (seating 16 or more passengers) drop off on the northbound curb lane of Kareem Court, accessed via westbound Pincay Drive. The GPS address to use for the itinerary is 3178 Pincay Dr, Inglewood, CA 90305.
Bus parking is in the Hyundai Pink Zone Lot P, which requires a specialized POVR (RV/Bus) parking pass purchased well in advance. Confirm current event-specific details on the official SoFi Stadium parking page before your visit.
The two busiest stretches are prom season (April and May)—when Alhambra High School, Mark Keppel High School, and nearby campuses all hold their dances in the same narrow window—and summer concert and festival season (June through August), which includes major events at the Hollywood Bowl, Crypto.com Arena, and SoFi Stadium. The Rose Bowl Game on January 1 and Coachella in April also pull significant demand from the San Gabriel Valley. Book three to six months out for peak dates; for prom, earlier is always better.
Absolutely. Long-distance motorcoaches from the network are built for exactly these runs. Coachella and Indio are about 115 miles east via I-10 E—roughly 2 to 2.5 hours—and buses heading to the Empire Polo Club (81800 Avenue 51, Indio, CA 92201) for the festival typically depart early to beat the desert heat and traffic.
Las Vegas is about 250 miles northeast via I-10 E to I-15 N, a 4 to 5-hour ride. Full-size coaches include reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays. Call 626-310-3740 or use the online quote tool to compare long-distance motorcoach options and pricing for your dates!
The right size depends on your headcount and what you're doing. A sprinter van works for groups of 8 to 14. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is ideal for smaller groups, airport runs, and corporate shuttles that need to navigate tighter streets in Alhambra or downtown LA.
A party bus (15 to 50 passengers) is the go-to for bachelorette parties, proms, and birthday nights along the Valley Boulevard corridor. A 56-passenger charter bus is the right call for large school field trips, corporate conferences, and long-distance travel to Las Vegas or Coachella. Not sure?
Call 626-310-3740 and a live agent will help you match the bus to your group.
For most Alhambra trips, booking three to six months in advance gives you the best selection and pricing. For high-demand dates—prom season in April and May, Coachella weekend in April, the Rose Bowl Game on January 1, Dodgers playoff runs, and Hollywood Bowl summer headliners—book six months or more ahead. Waiting until the last minute in the Los Angeles market almost always means fewer available vehicles and higher prices.
The earlier you lock in your date, the more options you'll have to choose from. Call 626-310-3740 right now to hold your date!
You Can Go Wherever You Want!
Find Charter Buses to the Top Alhambra Destinations
Whatever your group has planned, a bus from the network can get you there—from Alhambra's own parks and dining corridor to legendary stadiums, botanical gardens, and world-class museums across the San Gabriel Valley and greater Los Angeles. Here are six destinations your group will love arriving at together!
Use the previous and next buttons, the left and right arrow keys, or swipe to browse six destinations.
Almansor Park
At 48 acres, Almansor Park is Alhambra's largest and most beloved green space. The park includes the Almansor Golf Course (4 Via Del Rey, Alhambra, CA 91803), picnic areas, sports fields, a community center, and a recreation lake—making it one of the most popular destinations in the city for family reunions, quinceañera celebrations, and large group gatherings. Bus drop-off is convenient along Almansor Street and Mission Road, and large events often benefit from a shuttle running from off-site parking to the park entrance.
Contact Alhambra Recreation & Community Services at (626) 570-5081 to coordinate group access. It's the kind of destination where keeping everyone together from arrival to departure makes the whole day run smoother—and one bus does exactly that.
Rose Bowl Stadium
Rose Bowl Stadium sits just 8 miles north of Alhambra and is one of the most storied venues in American sports—home to the UCLA Bruins, the annual Rose Bowl Game on January 1, major concerts, and the famous Rose Bowl Swap Meet held the second Sunday of every month. With a capacity of 92,542, event days bring enormous traffic pressure on Arroyo Boulevard, Seco Street, and the approaches off I-210. Charter buses enter via Arroyo Boulevard or Seco Street depending on the event, with parking in designated bus lots.
Confirm current event-specific bus lot assignments on the official Rose Bowl Stadium website before your visit, as assignments shift by event. One bus keeps your group together from Alhambra to kickoff and back.
Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden
Just 5 miles northeast of Alhambra, the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden spreads across 127 stunning acres of themed gardens, historic structures, and a peacock-roamed landscape that has served as a backdrop for countless films and TV shows. It's a perennial favorite for school field trips, wedding photography, corporate team outings, and family gatherings. The arboretum maintains a designated bus and RV parking area near the main entrance on Baldwin Avenue; advance group reservations are strongly recommended through the venue.
The garden is open daily from 9am to 4:30pm, with group admission rates available. A charter bus or minibus from Alhambra gets your whole group there together—no scattered carpool arrivals, no hunting for parking on Baldwin Avenue.
Santa Anita Park
Santa Anita Park (285 W Huntington Dr, Arcadia, CA 91007) is one of the most beautiful horse racing venues in the world—set against the backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains just 5 miles northeast of Alhambra. The track hosts thoroughbred racing from October through June, plus major concerts, festivals, and special events throughout the year. Bus drop-off is at Gate 5 off Huntington Drive; charter bus parking is in designated lots with advance arrangement.
Check the official Santa Anita Park website for event-specific bus lot instructions before your visit. Racing days at Santa Anita draw enthusiastic groups from across the SGV, and a party bus or minibus keeps the energy going from Alhambra to the finish line—and back.
California Science Center
The California Science Center (700 Exposition Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037) is about 11 miles west of Alhambra and home to the Space Shuttle Endeavour—one of the most awe-inspiring exhibits in the country. It's one of the top school field trip destinations in Southern California, and for good reason: interactive exhibits cover air and space, world ecosystems, and the science of life, with programming designed for every grade level. Bus drop-off is on Figueroa Street or Exposition Park Drive, and the Science Center offers free bus parking with advance reservation—a significant savings over paid parking for a full caravan of parent vehicles.
The adjacent Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007) is steps away, making a two-venue day entirely doable. A 56-passenger charter bus fits a full class with chaperones in one trip.
Fosselman's Ice Cream
No Alhambra destination list is complete without Fosselman's Ice Cream (1824 W Main St, Alhambra, CA 91801), a local institution that has been hand-crafting small-batch ice cream since 1919—over a century of scoops, and still one of the most beloved stops in the entire San Gabriel Valley. Fosselman's is famous for its rotating seasonal flavors, its lychee and taro offerings beloved by the SGV's Asian-American community, and its old-school parlor atmosphere that draws lines out the door on warm evenings. For group outings, a minibus or sprinter van makes Fosselman's an easy add to any Alhambra itinerary—a birthday crawl along Main Street, a post-game celebration, or a sweet finale to a Valley Boulevard dining tour.
Street parking on Main Street is limited during peak hours, so letting the bus handle the logistics is the smart move.
