A Group Travel Guide to White Plains, New York's Major Destinations & Events

Westchester County Center

As the premier multi-purpose venue in the region, the Westchester County Center (198 Central Ave, White Plains, NY 10606) is a logistical focal point for everything from the Westchester Knicks (NBA G League) games to major trade shows and graduations. With a seating capacity of approximately 5,000, large events here create significant congestion at the intersection of Central Avenue and Tarrytown Road (Route 119). Buses should enter via the main driveway off Central Avenue for passenger unloading. Because the onsite parking lot is often restricted to permit holders or compact cars during peak events, Charter Bus White Plains stages our 56-passenger motorcoaches at the nearby Bronx River Parkway overflow lots after drop-off. This allows your group to walk directly to the entrance while we handle the parking logistics. Typical hours vary by event, but the box office generally opens at 10:00 AM. Avoid the headache of navigating the nearby "Cemetery Curve" on the Bronx River Parkway in a personal vehicle—the drivers can handle these tight local interchanges.

The Westchester Mall

For high-end retail tours or corporate incentive trips, The Westchester (125 Westchester Ave, White Plains, NY 10601) is the crown jewel of shopping in the Tri-State area. With over 140 luxury stores like Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, it attracts millions of visitors annually. For group arrivals, we coordinate drop-offs at the dedicated motorcoach lane located on the Paulding Street side of the mall, which provides immediate access to the retail levels without forcing guests to trek through the massive multi-level parking garages. Parking a 15-passenger executive sprinter van or a full-size bus in the mall's low-clearance decks is impossible; Charter Bus White Plains utilizes designated oversized vehicle staging areas along Bloomingdale Road. The mall is open Monday–Saturday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. By booking a minibus rental in White Plains, your shoppers can store their haul in our climate-controlled overhead bins while we navigate the frequent bottlenecks at the I-287 and Bloomingdale Road exit.

White Plains Public Library & Galleria Site

Located in the heart of the downtown business district, the White Plains Public Library (100 Martine Ave, White Plains, NY 10601) and the adjacent redevelopment sites are central for educational tours and civic meetings. This area is notorious for its strict "No Standing" zones and heavy enforcement on Martine Avenue and Main Street. For school field trips using our 47-passenger school buses or 35-passenger minibuses, we utilize the designated bus cutout on Martine Avenue for 5-minute loading and unloading only. Drivers then transition to the nearby municipal bus terminal areas for staging. The library operates Monday–Thursday 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with earlier closures on weekends. Navigating the one-way loops of downtown White Plains can be a nightmare for carpools; the drivers ensure your group stays together and avoids the frustration of the Martine Avenue "bus-only" lanes during peak afternoon hours.

Eisner Park & North Street Area

For youth sports teams and local recreation groups, Eisner Park and the surrounding athletic fields near North Street are high-traffic weekend destinations. Whether you are bringing a soccer team for a tournament or a community group for a summer outing, parking near the fields is extremely limited for large vehicles. Our 25-passenger minibuses are the ideal solution for these residential-adjacent zones, offering better maneuverability than a 56-passenger motorcoach on the narrower sections of North Street. We provide drop-offs at the main park gate and stage our vehicles at the nearby White Plains High School parking lots when available, or at the commercial zones near the Hutchinson River Parkway interchange. This ensures your athletes arrive warmed up and ready to play, rather than exhausted from searching for a spot in a crowded neighborhood lot. Don't subject your staff or parents to the weekend gridlock on the "Hutch"—ride with Charter Bus White Plains instead.

Saxon Woods Park

Spanning over 700 acres between White Plains and Scarsdale, Saxon Woods Park (1800 Mamaroneck Ave, White Plains, NY 10605) is a top choice for family reunions and corporate picnics. It features the county’s largest swimming pool and an 18-hole golf course. Large groups arriving via I-95 or the Hutchinson River Parkway often get bogged down at the Mamaroneck Avenue exit. For group picnics at the pavilions, we recommend our 56-passenger motorcoaches which offer massive undercarriage storage for grills, coolers, and gear. Buses must unload at the designated turnouts near the picnic area entrance. While car parking fees apply during the summer season, a single bus rental consolidates your group and simplifies the entry process. The park is open daily from dawn to dusk. Let us manage the winding curves of Mamaroneck Avenue while your group enjoys the reclining leather seats and onboard WiFi en route to a day of outdoor fun.

Pace University - Elisabeth Haub School of Law

Academic groups and legal professionals frequently visit the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University (78 N Broadway, White Plains, NY 10603). Located on the historic 12-acre campus on North Broadway, it is a primary stop for university tours and moot court competitions. The campus has very specific gate access for commercial vehicles; buses must typically enter via the main North Broadway gate for passenger drop-off at the Preston Hall loop. Charter Bus White Plains provides shuttle bus rentals for visiting scholars and student groups, ensuring punctuality for scheduled seminars. Because street parking on North Broadway is heavily restricted and monitored, the drivers utilize off-site staging near the White Plains train station, returning exactly when your session concludes. This prevents your group from getting separated in the busy North Broadway corridor or dealing with the confusing intersections near Route 22.

Renaissance Westchester Hotel & Corporate Parks

The corporate corridor along Red Oak Lane and Westchester Avenue (The Platinum Mile) is home to major companies like IBM and Morgan Stanley. The Renaissance Westchester Hotel (80 W Red Oak Ln, White Plains, NY 10604) is a frequent host for multi-day corporate retreats and conferences. Moving 200+ employees from the hotel to downtown White Plains restaurants or the Metro-North station requires precision. We provide 35-passenger minibus shuttles equipped with power outlets and WiFi so your team stays productive. For drop-offs at the hotel, we utilize the main porte-cochère, ensuring guests are sheltered from the elements. We then stage our fleet in the hotel’s rear commercial lot to stay out of the way of guest valet services. Avoid the peak-hour bottlenecks at the I-287/I-684 interchange—the drivers know the back-route connectors like Kenisco Road to keep your team moving on time.

Cranberry Lake Preserve

For nature-focused school field trips or senior outings, Cranberry Lake Preserve (1609 Old Orchard St, White Plains, NY 10604) offers a glimpse into local geology and history with its 19th-century stone quarry. The parking lot at Old Orchard Street is small and cannot accommodate a full-size motorcoach; therefore, we recommend our 20-passenger minibuses or 15-passenger sprinter vans for this location. We provide curbside drop-off directly at the Nature Center entrance, allowing your group to hit the trails immediately. The preserve is open Tuesday–Sunday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Since Old Orchard Street is a quiet residential road, we coordinate our arrivals to ensure we don't block local traffic, staging the vehicle at the nearby Kensico Dam Plaza until your group is ready for pickup. It's the most efficient way to explore Westchester’s "hidden" nature spots without the logistical nightmare of a car caravan.
