A Group Travel Guide to Victoria, Texas's Best Destinations

The Texas Zoo

If you are looking for a wild adventure right in the heart of Victoria, look no further than The Texas Zoo. Located within the beautiful Riverside Park, this zoo is dedicated to the conservation of Texas native species, making it a unique and educational destination for school groups, scout troops, and animal lovers alike. Unlike massive metropolitan zoos that can be overwhelming, The Texas Zoo offers an intimate experience where your group can get up close and personal with animals like ocelots, black bears, and bald eagles. It’s the perfect size for a half-day outing, allowing plenty of time to explore every exhibit without rushing.

Traveling to the zoo with a large group can be a logistical challenge, but not when you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Victoria. Your driver can drop your group off right at the main entrance at 110 Memorial Dr, Victoria, TX 77901, sparing you the hassle of organizing a meeting point in the parking lot. While your group heads inside to feed the animals or attend a keeper talk, your bus will be parked nearby, ready to whisk you away to your next destination or a lunch spot in the park.

Museum of the Coastal Bend

History buffs will be in heaven at the Museum of the Coastal Bend. This fascinating museum showcases the rich heritage of the region, from the early indigenous peoples to the French and Spanish colonial eras. One of the highlights is the collection of artifacts from La Salle's ill-fated 17th-century colony, including seven cannons recovered from the excavation site. It is an essential stop for any educational field trip or history-focused tour group traveling through Victoria. The museum offers a deep dive into the cultural fabric that makes this part of Texas so unique.

After your tour, your group can utilize the onboard WiFi to look up more facts about 17th-century French explorers or relax in the air-conditioned cabin before heading to dinner.

Riverside Park

Spanning over 560 acres along the Guadalupe River, Riverside Park is Victoria's premier outdoor destination and a fantastic spot for large group gatherings.

It’s the perfect place to let loose and enjoy the Texas sunshine. With so much space to spread out, your group can spend the entire day engaging in team-building activities or simply relaxing by the river.

Parking multiple cars at such a popular park can be a nightmare, especially on weekends or during holidays.
