Rent a Bus To Visit Ocala Neighborhoods
Traveling with locals? The best way to experience Ocala is to visit its neighborhoods. Here are some districts you and your party can explore with a private charter bus rental:
Downtown Ocala
Downtown Ocala has a plethora of activities for locals and tourists alike to enjoy. If you’re traveling with kids, plan a day trip to Tuscawilla Park, which features an outdoor swimming area, sports courts and fields, a playground for kids and even an on-site nature center. If your group needs a break from the outdoors, you can spend an afternoon learning about Ocala’s local history at the Appleton Museum of Art or catch a theatrical show at the Ocala Civic Theatre. And if the weather takes a turn for the worse, you can still keep the fun going by visiting Ocala Escape Room and putting your team’s problem-solving skills to the test.
Historic District
A historic neighborhood near Downtown, Ocala Historic District is known for its elegant Victorian homes, as well as for its art and antique galleries. The district also has numerous restaurants to choose from if your group wants to grab a bite before continuing along your tour. We recommend stopping by Mark’s Prime Steakhouse for an elegant lunch or a quick and tasty takeout order from Katya’s Creative Catering.
Martin
The eastern Marion County neighborhood of Martin offers a unique blend of natural and man-made attractions for visitors. From the botanical gardens and canopy-covered trails of Sholom Park to the seasonal fun of the annual Fort King Festival at the Fort King National Historic Landmark, your nature-loving or historically inclined group has a choice between enjoying the beautiful Florida outdoors or exploring Florida’s early colonial era and its connections to the Native American Seminole Tribe.
Silver Springs Shores
This Ocala suburb just south of downtown is home to popular wedding venues, from the traditional church and banquet hall feel of the Hilton Ocala to the rustic, intimate ambiance of the Grand Oaks Resort and Museum. If you’re traveling for a wedding in the area, the last thing your group of loved ones and guests should have to worry about on your special day is how they will get there. Let us provide a shuttle bus for each guest. We’ll transport them to your venue and drive them back to their homes and hotels at the end of the night, so everyone can feel comfortable and part of the celebrations.
