A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Dominating the Field at M Health Fairview Sports Center
If you are traveling to Woodbury for a youth tournament, there is a very high probability you are headed to the M Health Fairview Sports Center (formerly known as Bielenberg Sports Center). This massive, multi-purpose facility is one of the largest of its kind in the Midwest and serves as the beating heart of Woodbury's athletic community. Located at 4125 Radio Dr, Woodbury, MN 55129, this venue draws teams from across the nation for soccer, hockey, baseball, and softball tournaments.
The facility features a 90,000-square-foot indoor field house, two indoor ice arenas, and 36 outdoor athletic fields. For teams traveling here, parking can be chaotic during peak tournament weekends. By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Woodbury, you streamline the arrival process. Your driver can drop your athletes right at the main entrance or near their specific field, allowing them to unload gear without trekking across endless parking lots. Our buses offer ample undercarriage storage, meaning bulky hockey bags, bats, and soccer nets fit with ease, keeping the aisles clear for your players to stretch out and mentally prepare for the competition.
Ice Hockey Excellence: Woodbury’s Local Rinks
In Minnesota, hockey isn't just a sport; it is a cultural institution. Beyond the M Health Fairview Sports Center, Woodbury and the surrounding Washington County area host numerous ice arenas that see heavy traffic during the winter season. Teams traveling for the Woodbury Area Hockey Club tournaments often require reliable, warm transportation to combat the freezing Minnesota temperatures.
A private charter bus rental is essential for hockey teams. The sheer volume of equipment required for the sport—sticks, pads, skates, and goalie gear—overwhelms standard SUVs and minivans. Our full-size charter buses feature massive luggage bays designed exactly for this purpose. Furthermore, our climate-controlled cabins ensure that after a hard-fought game on the ice, your players can warm up instantly in a comfortable seat. Whether you are headed to a scrimmage at the local rinks or traveling to a regional tournament in Duluth or St. Cloud, Charter Bus Woodbury ensures the team stays together and comfortable on winter roads.
The Perfect Base Camp for Professional Sports
Woodbury is strategically located just minutes east of St. Paul and a short drive from Minneapolis, making it the ideal "base camp" for fans of professional sports who want to avoid the high prices and congestion of downtown hotels. From Woodbury, you have easy access to the Twin Cities' most iconic stadiums. Charter Bus Woodbury specializes in fan transportation, offering shuttle services that take the stress out of game day.
Xcel Energy Center (Minnesota Wild): Located at 199 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102, this is hallowed ground for hockey fans. A minibus rental from Woodbury to "The X" takes just about 15 minutes, dropping you off steps from the action and nearby bars on West 7th Street.
U.S. Bank Stadium (Minnesota Vikings): Skol! Located at 401 Chicago Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55415, this architectural marvel hosts the biggest football games in the north. Parking here is notoriously expensive and difficult. A charter bus rental allows your group to tailgate effectively, bringing coolers, grills, and chairs in the storage bays, before enjoying a comfortable ride home after the game.
Target Field (Minnesota Twins): Enjoy America's pastime at 1 Twins Way, Minneapolis, MN 55403. Summer baseball games are a treat, and a charter bus ensures your group stays cool with premium air conditioning on the ride into the city.
Golf Outings at Prestwick and Eagle Valley
Sports in Woodbury aren't just about high-contact competition; the city is also home to some of the finest public golf courses in the state, perfect for corporate outings, bachelor parties, or leisurely group trips. Prestwick Golf Club, located at 9555 Wedgewood Dr, Woodbury, MN 55125, offers a championship layout that challenges golfers of all skill levels. Alternatively, Eagle Valley Golf Course at 2600 Double Eagle Ln, Woodbury, MN 55129 provides a beautiful, rolling terrain that is a favorite among locals.
Organizing a golf tournament or a group outing involves logistical challenges, primarily regarding the transport of golf clubs. Standard rideshares simply cannot accommodate four sets of clubs and four adults comfortably. A mini coach or minibus from Charter Bus Woodbury is the perfect solution. We offer vehicles with dedicated rear storage for clubs, ensuring they are transported comfortably without jamming them into a trunk. Your group can enjoy a few drinks at the clubhouse after the round, knowing a driver is waiting to take you to your next destination.
Cheering on the Golden Gophers
For collegiate sports fans, the University of Minnesota is a major draw. Located just down I-94 from Woodbury, the U of M campus buzzes with energy on game days. Whether you are heading to Huntington Bank Stadium (2009 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455) for football or Williams Arena for basketball, Charter Bus Woodbury provides the ultimate alumni and student transportation.
We work with alumni associations, student organizations, and families to create custom shuttle routes from Woodbury to the campus. Avoid the confusion of campus parking ramps and designated tailgating zones by booking a bus that has pre-arranged drop-off points. Our buses come equipped with WiFi and power outlets, so you can check other scores around the league or post your game-day selfies without draining your battery before kickoff.
Post-Game Celebrations and Dining in Woodbury
After the final whistle blows or the last putt drops, your group will need a place to refuel and celebrate. Woodbury boasts a thriving culinary scene perfect for large groups. However, moving 30 people from a sports complex to a restaurant can be a logistical nightmare involving caravans and lost drivers. Keep the team together with your charter bus rental.
For a great atmosphere, consider Tamarack Tap Room at 8418 Tamarack Village, Woodbury, MN 55125. Known for its extensive list of taps and hearty burgers, it's a great spot for fans and parents. If you need to feed a hungry youth team, Sole Mio Ristorante (1755 Radio Dr, Woodbury, MN 55125) offers excellent Italian cuisine that hits the spot after a day of physical exertion. Your driver can drop your group at the front door and park nearby, waiting until you've finished your meal to return you to your hotel or home.
