Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is the closest major commercial airport, approximately 65 miles south of Temple via I-35. It's served by American, Southwest, Delta, United, Alaska, Frontier, Spirit, and others. Waco Regional Airport (ACT) is about 35 miles north with limited American Eagle service.
For the widest flight options, most Temple travelers use AUS — and a charter bus from Temple to AUS keeps your whole group together without the parking expense or the Austin traffic stress.
Temple is approximately 65 miles north of Austin via I-35. Off-peak, the drive takes about 60 to 75 minutes. During Austin rush hours — typically 7–9am and 4–7pm on weekdays — and especially on UT home football Saturdays or during SXSW in March and ACL Music Festival in October, the I-35 corridor through Austin can add 30 to 60 minutes or more.
A charter bus from Temple to Austin takes that traffic stress completely off your plate and keeps your group together for the whole ride.
Frank W. Mayborn Civic & Convention Center is Temple's primary large-event facility, hosting concerts, graduations, expos, sporting events, and conventions. Charter buses and minibuses typically drop off along N 3rd Street at the main entrance, with ample surface parking available on the adjacent lot for staging between runs. For events with large crowds, coordinate your pickup window before the event ends so your bus is staged and ready when your group walks out.
Call the venue at 979-431-9230 to confirm current access arrangements for your specific event date.
Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) is approximately 25 miles west of Temple via US-190, in Killeen, TX 76544. Access to the installation requires coordination with the installation's visitor control center. Charter buses entering the installation for official events or personnel transportation typically need to be pre-cleared through the installation's transportation office.
For family days, graduation ceremonies, and change-of-command events, book your bus well in advance — these events fill vehicle availability across the Killeen–Temple metro quickly. Call 979-431-9230 and mention your Fort Cavazos destination when you request your quote so the right vehicle and access details can be arranged.
The busiest periods for bus rentals in the Temple area are prom season (April–May across Temple ISD, Belton ISD, Killeen ISD, and Harker Heights ISD), Baylor football season (September–November, with game days drawing big groups to Waco), UT home football Saturdays (September–November, 65 miles south in Austin), and the Texas high school football playoffs (November–December). SXSW in March and ACL Music Festival in October also spike demand across the entire I-35 corridor. For any of these dates, booking three to six months in advance is strongly recommended.
Absolutely — and a bus is the best way to do it! The Fredericksburg Wine Road 290 corridor is approximately 130 miles southwest of Temple, a comfortable drive through the Hill Country with dozens of tasting rooms along US-290. Popular stops include Becker Vineyards, Grape Creek Vineyards, and William Chris Vineyards.
A charter bus or minibus handles the driving so your whole group can enjoy every pour, and you set the itinerary — how many stops, how long at each, and when you head home. Fill out the form or call 979-431-9230 to compare day-trip bus options and pricing!
For most Temple trips, booking three to six months out gives you the best selection and the best pricing. For high-demand dates — prom season in April and May, Baylor and UT football Saturdays, Fort Cavazos family days, SXSW in March, and ACL Music Festival in October — booking six months out or more is strongly advised. Waiting until the last minute almost always means fewer vehicle options and higher prices.
The sooner you compare, the more you'll have to choose from. Call 979-431-9230 or use the online tool right now to lock in your date!

Temple Railroad & Heritage Museum
The Temple Railroad & Heritage Museum is housed in the beautifully restored 1910 Santa Fe Depot — one of the most architecturally significant buildings in Central Texas. The museum features restored locomotives, railroad artifacts, and exhibits on Temple's history as a major BNSF rail hub, including a recreation of the original Harvey House restaurant.

It's a natural fit for school field trips and heritage tours from across Bell County.
Frank W. Mayborn Civic & Convention Center
The Frank W. Mayborn Civic & Convention Center is Temple's premier large-event facility and the region's go-to venue for concerts, graduations, expos, trade shows, sporting events, and corporate conferences. With a capacity of several thousand and flexible event spaces, it hosts everything from Baylor Scott & White Health conferences to Temple ISD graduation ceremonies. Charter buses drop off along N 3rd Street at the main entrance, with ample surface parking available for staging.
For high-attendance events, plan your pickup window before the crowd exits. Contact the venue directly to confirm current drop-off arrangements for your event date.
Stillhouse Hollow Lake
Stillhouse Hollow Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Lampasas River, just south of Temple. The lake spans more than 6,000 acres and offers swimming, fishing, boating, and hiking across multiple recreation areas. Dana Peak Park (2201 FM 2410, Harker Heights, TX 76548) is the most popular group destination, with bus-accessible parking, picnic pavilions, and direct lake access.
It's a top pick for family reunions, team-building outings, and church group retreats from across the Bell County area. Reservable group shelters are available through Recreation.gov trip-planning information — book those well before your bus.
Miller Springs Nature Center
Miller Springs Nature Center (Comanche Gap Rd, Belton, TX 76513) is a 260-acre natural preserve managed by the City of Belton, sitting along the Leon River and the shores of Stillhouse Hollow Lake. The preserve features several miles of hiking and mountain biking trails through cedar and oak woodland, with river access points and scenic overlooks. Admission is free, making it a popular destination for school field trips, scout groups, and outdoor education programs from Temple and Bell County schools.
School and group buses regularly use the gravel pull-off area near the trailhead entrance on Comanche Gap Rd. No formal reservations are required for trail access, but call the City of Belton Parks Department at (254) 933-5353 for group visit coordination.
McLane Stadium — Baylor University (Waco)
McLane Stadium is home to the Baylor Bears football team, sitting on the banks of the Brazos River in Waco — just 28 miles north of Temple on I-35. With a capacity of 45,140, it's one of the most scenic college football venues in the Big 12. Charter buses from Temple to Baylor home games are a popular choice for alumni groups, fan clubs, and Bell County residents.
Bus parking is available in designated lots near the stadium; confirm current bus parking assignments through Baylor Athletics before your visit, as assignments vary by game. Lots typically open three to four hours before kickoff.
Barrow Brewing Company
Barrow Brewing Company is one of the most beloved craft breweries in Central Texas, located in historic downtown Belton about 8 miles south of Temple on TX-317. Known for its rotating tap list of approachable, well-crafted ales and lagers, Barrow Brewing draws visitors from across Bell County and beyond for taproom visits, live music nights, and private events. The downtown Belton location has limited on-site parking — street parking on S Wall St fills quickly on weekend evenings, which makes a minibus or party bus the obvious move for a group.
Drop off at the S Wall St entrance and let the bus stage nearby while your group enjoys the taproom. Check their event calendar at barrowbrewing.com and call ahead for large group visits.
