Party Bus In Minneapolis has been handling group transportation across the Twin Cities metro since 2011, and Coon Rapids sits squarely in our service area. Whether your group is heading south on Highway 10 to catch a Twins game at Target Field or crossing the 610 Bypass toward Brooklyn Park for a corporate off-site, we plan the route, arrange the vehicle, and keep every departure on schedule.
Our 24/7 reservation team takes care of the logistics — vehicle sizing, pickup order, trip planning, and every question in between — so you spend zero time coordinating carpools and all of it enjoying the occasion. With a network of Sprinter vans, Sprinter limos, party buses, minibuses, and full-size charter buses, we match your group to the right vehicle for the right trip without padding your headcount to fit a vehicle that's too big. Pricing is all-inclusive, confirmed upfront, and free of surprises.
Call 612-234-4015 or use our online quote tool any time to see what your Coon Rapids bus rental costs.
Choose from 14-passenger Sprinter limos, Sprinter vans, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. One vehicle or a coordinated fleet — we size it to your headcount so you never pay for empty seats.
Party buses in our network seat 15 to 50 passengers with a full-length onboard bar, color-changing LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound, wraparound perimeter seating, and flat-panel TVs — the tailgate starts the moment the bus pulls away from your driveway. Minibuses come with powerful A/C and plush reclining seats, making them the right fit for wedding shuttles between Coon Rapids hotels and downtown Minneapolis venues. Full-size charter buses add undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, overhead storage, WiFi, and power outlets — built for longer hauls down I-35W to Rochester or out to the Mall of America for a group shopping trip.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available; just let us know in advance.

Party Bus In Minneapolis provides all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — the number you see is the number you pay.

Coon Rapids sits at the intersection of Highway 10 and Foley Boulevard — convenient for residents, but a genuine headache when a game lets out at US Bank Stadium and Anoka County Road 10 is stacked up heading north. Add limited parking near Northstar commuter rail's Coon Rapids–Foley station and you've got the formula for a frustrating group-trip return. A bus rental solves it cleanly: one vehicle, one pickup point, no one circling a ramp on Coon Boulevard at midnight.
Since 2011, we've handled thousands of group trips out of the northern suburbs — prom nights at Anoka-Hennepin district schools, fan buses to Vikings games, wedding shuttles between Coon Rapids hotels and downtown Minneapolis reception halls, and field trips to the Science Museum of Minnesota in Saint Paul. Our 24/7 reservation team is always one call away, all pricing is confirmed upfront, and we offer a massive variety of vehicle sizes so your group travels together comfortably no matter the occasion. Call 612-234-4015 any time to get started.
Party Bus In Minneapolis handles group transportation for every occasion across Anoka County and the wider Twin Cities metro. Whatever brings your crew together in Coon Rapids — from a prom send-off to a stadium tailgate — we have the vehicle and the plan.
Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) (4300 Glumack Dr, St. Paul, MN 55111) sits roughly 25 miles south of Coon Rapids via I-694 and I-494 — a straight shot in light traffic, a stop-and-go crawl during morning rush. Coordinating a dozen separate rideshares for a group flight piles on every variable: different arrival times, different baggage-claim doors, surge pricing at 4 a.m. A Coon Rapids airport shuttle bus rental cuts all of that out.
For departures, the bus picks up your group at a single Coon Rapids address and runs straight to the correct MSP terminal — Terminal 1 (Lindbergh) or Terminal 2 (Humphrey) — without stops, without a metered parking clock ticking. For arrivals, wait until your full group has bags in hand at baggage claim, then contact our team to have the bus pull to the designated commercial pickup zone outside the terminal. We also serve Minneapolis–Saint Paul's general aviation facilities and handle transfers for groups connecting through MSP on cruise or resort trips.
Call 612-234-4015 to set up your Coon Rapids airport transfer.
The Twin Cities nightlife corridor runs from Northeast Minneapolis breweries through the North Loop bar district down to the skyway-connected clubs around Target Field — a lot of ground to cover without a plan. Coon Rapids bachelorette groups heading to spots like Jefe Urban Hacienda in the North Loop or Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge on the Mississippi River banks in Northeast Minneapolis don't need to worry about who's driving home on Highway 10 at 1 a.m. That question gets answered the moment the bus is booked.
Party buses in our network come with a full onboard bar, wraparound seating, color-changing lights, and a premium sound system, so the pre-game starts in the driveway and never stops. We build the route around your bar list and your timeline — no negotiating with a rideshare app when the last stop runs long. Nobody has to skip the fun to drive either.
Call 612-234-4015 and we'll put together a custom Coon Rapids bachelorette bus rental itinerary.
A Coon Rapids birthday party bus rental makes the arrival half the celebration. Whether the destination is a restaurant on Coon Rapids Boulevard, a party venue at Bunker Hills Event Center (1001 County Rd 116 NW, Andover, MN 55304), or a milestone night out at a Minneapolis rooftop bar, the bus brings the group together from the first pickup and keeps the energy going all night.
Sweet 16 and quinceañera groups love the custom-playlist option — load your music ahead of time and the onboard Bluetooth sound system handles the rest. LED lighting, wraparound seating, and flat-panel TVs turn the ride into a venue of its own. We offer a range of vehicle sizes so the bus fits your guest list exactly, and we work with parent organizers to confirm pickup order, drop-off windows, and return times.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available on request. Call 612-234-4015 to plan your Coon Rapids birthday bus rental.
The Twin Cities concert calendar keeps Coon Rapids groups busy all year. Xcel Energy Center (199 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) hosts arena-level touring acts, with post-show traffic backing up along Kellogg Boulevard and the I-35E interchange every single time. Target Center (600 1st Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55403) pulls the same crowd density in downtown Minneapolis, where parking ramps near the venue fill by the time doors open.
Mystic Lake Amphitheater events in Prior Lake draw Anoka County fans across the metro on summer Friday nights.
A Coon Rapids concert bus rental takes your group straight to the loading zone and picks everyone up at a pre-arranged spot when the set ends — no waiting in a surge queue on Washington Avenue while the stadium empties around you. Party buses in our network come loaded with a built-in bar, Bluetooth sound, and LED lighting so the energy stays up from your driveway to the first song. Call 612-234-4015 to lock in your date.
Coon Rapids companies running team shuttles to the Minneapolis Convention Center (1301 2nd Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55403) or corporate campuses in the 494 Corridor know how fast I-694 can turn a 30-minute drive into an hour. Parking near the convention center runs $20–$35 per vehicle on peak conference days, and coordinating a dozen separate arrivals from Anoka County is exactly the kind of friction that costs an organizer their morning.
A Coon Rapids corporate bus rental picks up your team at one Coon Rapids location, gets everyone to the venue entrance in time for the opening session, and skips the Loring Park ramp loop entirely. Minibuses with WiFi and power outlets keep your team productive on the I-35W southbound stretch, so the commute becomes prep time. For multi-day conferences or executive retreats at properties like the Marriott Minneapolis Northwest in Brooklyn Park, we work out the full itinerary.
Call 612-234-4015 to discuss contract shuttle options.
Coon Rapids draws big seasonal crowds for events like the Anoka Halloween Parade — billed as the nation's oldest Halloween celebration — held each October along Main Street in neighboring Anoka (just 4 miles north on Highway 10). Street parking along the parade route fills two hours before the floats start rolling, and Anoka's downtown grid jams up for blocks in every direction during the post-parade dispersal.
A private charter bus from Coon Rapids to the Anoka Halloween festivities drops your group steps from the viewing area and collects everyone afterward without the parking scramble. The same logic applies to Renaissance Festival weekends in Shakopee (roughly 45 miles south), Holidazzle parade nights in downtown Minneapolis, and private group outings to Bunker Hills Wave Pool or the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park. One bus, one rate, everyone together.
Call 612-234-4015 to build a custom private event itinerary.
Prom season across the Anoka-Hennepin School District — which serves Coon Rapids, Anoka, Andover, Blaine, Champlin, and surrounding communities — runs April through May with overlapping dates across multiple high schools. That six-week window is the single busiest period for party bus bookings in the entire northern metro. For prom: book by January or expect premium pricing or no availability.
A typical Coon Rapids prom package runs 5–6 hours: school or home pickup, photos at a scenic stop like Bunker Hills Regional Park, venue drop-off, and an after-prom return — a flat, all-inclusive rate that's predictable for parent committees and students alike. Booking 4–6 months out typically saves $600–$1,000 compared to last-minute requests when only premium inventory remains. Our reservation team works directly with parent groups to confirm headcounts, pickup order, and return windows.
Call 612-234-4015 to secure your Coon Rapids prom bus before the season fills up.
Teachers and chaperones coordinating field trips out of Anoka-Hennepin District 11 trust a charter bus to move student groups safely and on schedule. The Science Museum of Minnesota (120 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) and the Minnesota Zoo (13000 Zoo Blvd, Apple Valley, MN 55124) are two of the metro's most popular field trip destinations — each requiring a full day's round-trip from Coon Rapids and enough luggage space for backpacks, lunchboxes, and educational materials.
Charter buses in our network offer overhead storage, undercarriage bays, climate-controlled interiors, reclining seats, and TV monitors — a genuine upgrade from a yellow school bus on a 90-minute highway run. For groups heading to the Minnesota History Center (345 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) or the Minneapolis Institute of Art (2400 3rd Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55404), buses drop student groups at designated load zones and wait nearby through the visit. ADA-accessible vehicles are always an option — just give us advance notice.
Call 612-234-4015 to coordinate your Coon Rapids school field trip bus rental.
Vikings fans in Coon Rapids know what Highway 610 looks like two hours before a Sunday afternoon kickoff at US Bank Stadium (401 Chicago Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55415) — and they know it's worse after the game when 66,000 people empty onto Washington Avenue at once. Parking near the stadium runs $40–$60 in private lots on game days, and rideshare pickup in the designated Uber/Lyft zone on 11th Avenue South backs up for 30–45 minutes post-whistle.
A Coon Rapids sporting event bus rental changes the entire equation. Your group tailgates on the ride down, arrives at the stadium's charter drop-off on 3rd Avenue South, and the bus waits for a post-game pickup without anyone standing in the cold on a January night waiting for a surge-priced rideshare. The same service runs to Target Field (353 N 5th St, Minneapolis, MN 55403) for Twins games and Xcel Energy Center for Wild games — the drop-off details and parking are sorted before your group ever boards.
Call 612-234-4015 to book your Coon Rapids game-day bus rental.
Wedding venues popular with Coon Rapids couples — Bunker Hills Event Center in Andover, the Courtyard by Marriott Minneapolis–Maple Grove, or downtown Minneapolis reception halls like The Depot or Nicollet Island Inn — rarely sit within walking distance of each other. Guests flying in from out of town navigate MSP, find their hotel in Coon Rapids or Brooklyn Park, and then need a way to the ceremony and back without anyone driving after the reception ends.
A Coon Rapids wedding shuttle handles the full loop: hotel pickup, ceremony arrival, cocktail-hour transfer if needed, and a return run after last call. Minibuses work perfectly for bridal party transport between the Coon Rapids hotel and the venue, with plush reclining seats and A/C for formal wear on a July afternoon. Nobody in your wedding party navigates an unfamiliar Minneapolis one-way grid in heels.
Our reservation team works with wedding planners and couples to confirm pickup windows, guest counts, and scheduling well ahead of the date. Call 612-234-4015 for a free wedding shuttle quote.
The Twin Cities craft brewery scene gives Coon Rapids tour groups plenty to work with. Indeed Brewing Company (711 15th Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413) in Northeast Minneapolis, Surly Brewing Co. (520 Malcolm Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414) with its massive beer garden and full food menu in the Prospect Park neighborhood, and Able Seedhouse + Brewery (1121 Quincy St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413) all land on the most-requested stops for Anoka County pub crawl groups.
For wine-focused itineraries, Alexis Bailly Vineyard (18200 Kirby Ave, Hastings, MN 55033) — one of Minnesota's oldest wineries — sits about an hour southeast of Coon Rapids and makes a strong anchor stop for a wine tour that loops back through the metro. A Coon Rapids party bus rental keeps everyone together across every stop, takes care of parking at each venue, and ensures nobody drives the Hastings stretch of Highway 61 after a long afternoon of tasting. Call 612-234-4015 for a custom pub crawl or winery tour quote.

This turned a simple plan into something memorable. Having the whole group on one bus meant we stayed together and the energy never dropped. The interior was spotless and the lighting made for great photos. The team was easy to work with and confirmed the details ahead of time. Cruising around without a care about driving was exactly what we needed. Everyone went home happy and we'll definitely be booking again soon.
Coraline V.
Marcellus D.
Great experience from start to finish. The booking was simple, the quote was honest, and the bus arrived right on schedule. It was clean and comfortable with a sound system that handled our playlist perfectly. Keeping everyone together made the night flow so much better. Nobody had to worry about driving or directions. The whole group had a fantastic time. I'd recommend this to anyone planning a get-together with friends or family.
Linnea H.
We rented this for a celebration and it was the perfect choice. The freedom of having someone else handle the transportation let us all relax and enjoy the night. The bus was roomy and clean, and the lights and music added a festive touch. Around Coon Rapids the ride was smooth and fun. The booking contact was warm and accommodating. It made the occasion feel extra special and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
Olufemi J.
Booked this for a group and couldn't be happier. The communication was clear, the bus was on time, and it had plenty of room for all of us. The sound and lighting turned the ride into part of the celebration. Not having to worry about parking or driving home made everyone relax and have fun. The whole process was smooth and the price was fair. A great way to bring a group together for a night.
Coon Rapids party bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, the date, and how many hours you need. Current ranges: small party buses (15–20 passengers) run $204–$378/hour; mid-size (20–30 passengers) run $244–$414/hour; large party buses and minibuses (35–50 passengers) run $294–$490/hour; and full-size charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Weekend rates and peak-season dates — prom, Twins playoff runs, fall wedding weekends — push pricing toward the top of those ranges.
The fastest way to get an accurate number is to call 612-234-4015; our team provides all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds with no hidden costs.
Charter buses serving US Bank Stadium (401 Chicago Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55415) use the designated commercial drop-off on 3rd Avenue South, south of the stadium. That puts your group within a short walk of Gates A and B rather than at the remote rideshare staging area on 11th Avenue South. On major event days — NFL games, big concerts, college football playoff matchups — police manage a one-way flow around Chicago Avenue and 4th Street South, so confirming your approach route ahead of game day matters.
We sort out the drop-off details for your specific event date when you book, so there's no last-minute rerouting. We always recommend checking the official US Bank Stadium parking and transportation page before your visit for current road-closure details.
Yes. At Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, commercial bus pickup operates on the lower level of each terminal — Level 1 at Terminal 1 (Lindbergh) and the ground-level commercial lane at Terminal 2 (Humphrey). Have your group collect all luggage and assemble at a designated door before contacting our team to bring the bus to the curb — MSP uses a staged commercial pickup process and does not allow buses to idle in the arrival lane.
Pre-arranged cruise and resort transfer groups typically use the Terminal 1 commercial staging area on the east side. We recommend reviewing the official MSP ground transportation page before your arrival date to confirm current commercial vehicle pickup zones.
For most Coon Rapids wedding groups, a 15- to 35-passenger minibus covers the bridal party and immediate family in a single vehicle — comfortable, climate-controlled, and maneuverable enough for hotel drop-circle loops and the tight loading areas at venues like Bunker Hills Event Center. If your guest list tops 50 and you need a full hotel shuttle loop, a 40- to 56-passenger charter bus handles the volume without running multiple trips. We size the vehicle to your confirmed guest count so you're not paying for empty seats.
Call 612-234-4015 with your headcount and we'll match you to the right option.
Yes. The Northstar Line runs from Big Lake through Elk River, Ramsey, and Anoka before stopping at Coon Rapids–Foley Station (9350 Foley Blvd NW, Coon Rapids, MN 55433) on its way into Target Field Station in downtown Minneapolis. For groups that want a hybrid approach — bus to the Coon Rapids station, train into downtown — we handle the pickup and drop-off to hit the Northstar schedule.
We also handle full point-to-point bus rentals for groups that prefer skipping the train entirely, especially for late-night return trips when Northstar service has ended for the evening.
For most Coon Rapids trips, booking 4–6 weeks out gives you solid vehicle selection and standard pricing. Two scenarios where earlier matters: prom season (April–May) across Anoka-Hennepin District 11 fills the northern-metro party bus supply in a 6-week window — book by January if you want first pick of vehicles and dates. Fall Vikings home games (September–January) draw fan buses from across Anoka County; weeknight games sell out faster than Sunday afternoon kickoffs.
For weddings, lock in 6–9 months ahead, especially June through early October when dates compete across the entire Twin Cities corridor. Call 612-234-4015 as soon as your date is confirmed — the earlier you call, the better your options and your rate.
A Coon Rapids party bus itinerary has plenty of strong anchors — from the Mississippi riverfront parks right in town to major Twin Cities venues 20–30 miles south. Here are six destinations our groups request most.
Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park (9750 Egret Blvd NW, Coon Rapids, MN 55433) spans 2 miles of Mississippi River shoreline on both the Coon Rapids and Brooklyn Park sides, connected by a pedestrian bridge over the dam. The park hosts summer concerts, fishing tournaments, and large family reunion picnics that fill the riverside shelters from June through August. The main parking lot off Egret Boulevard NW is accessible to oversized vehicles, but it fills quickly during summer weekend events — a charter bus drops your group at the trailhead entrance and avoids the lot competition entirely.
Reservable picnic shelters accommodate groups of 50–100+; book through Hennepin County Parks well in advance for summer weekend dates. The park is open year-round with cross-country ski trails in winter.
Address: 9750 Egret Blvd NW, Coon Rapids, MN 55433
Phone: (763) 694-7790
Bunker Hills Regional Park (550 Bunker Lake Blvd NW, Andover, MN 55304) is Anoka County's flagship outdoor venue — 1,600 acres with a wave pool, campground, golf course, equestrian center, and the Bunker Hills Event Center, one of the most-booked wedding and banquet facilities in the northern suburbs. The event center seats up to 350 guests and sits on the southeast edge of the park grounds. Charter bus drop-off at the event center uses the main drive off Bunker Lake Boulevard NW, with large-vehicle parking available in the overflow gravel lot to the east.
The wave pool draws capacity crowds on summer weekends when County Road 116 backs up at the Bunker Hills entrance — a bus bypasses the line. Bunker Hills is about 8 miles northeast of central Coon Rapids.
Address: 550 Bunker Lake Blvd NW, Andover, MN 55304
Phone: (763) 767-2950
US Bank Stadium (401 Chicago Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55415) is the home of the Minnesota Vikings and the city's largest event venue, with a capacity of 66,860. The stadium hosts NFL games from September through January, the Super Bowl, college football playoff games, and arena-scale concerts. Charter buses drop passengers at the commercial vehicle zone on 3rd Avenue South — a significantly shorter walk to the stadium gates than the rideshare staging area on 11th Avenue South.
All event-day parking in the adjacent ramps requires pre-purchased passes, and most surface lots within three blocks sell out days ahead for marquee matchups. For large fan groups, one charter bus gets the whole crew to one drop point instead of everyone coordinating six separate rideshares in a post-game surge queue.
Address: 401 Chicago Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55415
Phone: (612) 777-8700
Target Field (353 N 5th St, Minneapolis, MN 55403) is the home of the Minnesota Twins and one of the most walkable major-league ballparks in the country — the North Loop and Warehouse District restaurants are steps from the gates, making it a natural anchor for a full day itinerary. Charter buses drop at the commercial vehicle zone on 7th Street North, with the bus parking in the Twins-designated oversized lot nearby. Parking in private surface lots around the stadium runs $25–$45 on game days, and most fill by the first pitch.
The Northstar Commuter Rail terminates at Target Field Station directly below the stadium — Coon Rapids groups can combine a bus ride to the Coon Rapids–Foley Station with the train for a creative fan-group itinerary.
Address: 353 N 5th St, Minneapolis, MN 55403
Phone: (612) 659-3400
Xcel Energy Center (199 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) is the home of the Minnesota Wild and the Twin Cities' primary arena for major touring concerts. Capacity runs 18,064 for hockey and up to 21,000 for concerts. The arena sits at the west end of downtown Saint Paul, where Kellogg Boulevard feeds directly into I-35E — post-event traffic backs up for 45 minutes to an hour on packed nights.
Charter bus drop-off uses the designated commercial vehicle zone on Kellogg Boulevard West, with bus parking in the nearby River Centre parking structure's oversized section. Coon Rapids to Xcel is roughly 28 miles via I-694 East and I-35E South — allow 45–50 minutes on event nights when southbound traffic stacks heading into downtown Saint Paul.
Address: 199 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102
Phone: (651) 265-4800
Mall of America (60 E Broadway, Bloomington, MN 55425) is North America's largest shopping and entertainment complex — 5.6 million square feet with 520+ stores, an indoor theme park (Nickelodeon Universe), an aquarium (SEA LIFE Minnesota), a 14-screen cinema, and dozens of restaurants spread across four levels. Charter buses use the dedicated Group/Motor Coach arrival area on the South Side of the mall, accessible from 24th Avenue South via Killebrew Drive. Charter bus and motor coach parking is available in the South Ramp at posted group rates.
For Coon Rapids groups, the Mall is about 23 miles south via I-694 and I-35W — a clean highway run that makes a full-day family outing or birthday trip easy when everyone rides together.
Address: 60 E Broadway, Bloomington, MN 55425
