Buses drop off on Cedar Street and stage in nearby UGA surface lots.

For school performances and Athens Symphony youth concerts at the Classic Center (300 N Thomas St, Athens, GA 30601), buses drop off on N Thomas Street with surface parking lots adjacent — no permit required for short-term drop-off.
Instead of splitting a class across parent carpools and hunting for downtown Athens parking, one charter bus keeps everyone together and on schedule from the first pickup to the final curtain call.

Charter buses drop off on Cedar Street at the museum and then stage in nearby UGA surface lots while students are inside. School groups visit free with an advance reservation — contact the museum at groups@naturalhistory.uga.edu before your trip to confirm your arrival time and any current access details, since UGA campus logistics can shift by semester.

Book at least four to eight weeks out for most Athens field trips, and push that to three months or more if your date falls during spring field trip season (March through May), when Clarke County and surrounding school districts are all scheduling at the same time. Fall dates around UGA home football Saturdays also tighten availability across the Athens area — book early to lock in the vehicle and price you want.
