Buses heading to The Franklin Institute drop off and pick up directly in front of the museum on 20th Street during a 10-minute loading period, and bus parking is not available on site. Your group can unload and board together at the curb, while the bus avoids an on-site parking search.
At Valley Forge National Historical Park, buses can park in the Lower Visitor Center or Washington's Headquarters parking lots, and drop off and pick up passengers in front of the visitor center. Buses must leave that drop-off area while waiting, so your group can meet at the visitor center while the bus waits in a designated lot.
High-back vinyl bench seating
Large opening windows
Overhead interior lighting
PA/microphone system with AM/FM radio
Air conditioning on select vehicles
Under-seat storage for bags and equipment
