The About Us page has the full background.

Valleyfair (1 Valleyfair Dr, Shakopee, MN 55379) sits right off US-169 and has an on-site parking lot that accommodates buses and oversized vehicles. Group arrival coordination is worth confirming directly with Valleyfair's group sales team before your visit — the official Valleyfair group events page has current contact information. Arriving by charter bus or minibus means your group enters together, no one gets separated in the lot, and there's no individual parking coordination across 20 different cars.

Canterbury Park (1100 Canterbury Rd, Shakopee, MN 55379) hosts live thoroughbred and quarter horse racing from May through September, with select dates drawing crowds that fill the surface lots well before post time. A charter bus or minibus drops your group at the main entrance, stages nearby while you're inside, and picks everyone up after the last race — no one's car is in a distant lot at 10 p.m. after a long afternoon in the sun. For big stakes race days, check Canterbury Park's official calendar for event-specific parking and arrival guidance before your visit.

Mystic Lake Casino Hotel (2400 Mystic Lake Blvd NW, Prior Lake, MN 55372) is about four miles from downtown Shakopee and draws groups ranging from corporate team events to birthday celebrations and bachelorette nights. A 15–25 passenger party bus is the most common fit for social groups of 15–20 people; larger corporate or organizational groups often step up to a minibus or full charter bus. Mystic Lake has ample surface parking for oversized vehicles, but arriving by bus means no one has to stay sober to drive, and the group stays together all night.

Check the bus types guide if you're unsure which size makes sense for your headcount.

The Minnesota Renaissance Festival runs on weekends from August 22 through October 4, 2026, plus Labor Day and Festival Friday, at its permanent grounds in Shakopee (12364 Chestnut Blvd, Shakopee, MN 55379 — at the junction of Highway 101 and Canterbury Road). Fall weekend afternoons, especially the final weekends of the run, draw large crowds and back up the Highway 101 approach significantly. Groups of 15 or more who want to arrive together and avoid the parking scramble book early — late summer availability for October Saturday buses fills faster than most people expect.

If your Renaissance Festival date is on the calendar, getting a quote now helps you compare both rates and vehicle options.

For most Shakopee trips, four to eight weeks out is a solid target for standard weekend bookings. For high-demand windows — prom season (late April through May), Canterbury Park stakes weekends (June–July), Minnesota Renaissance Festival peak Saturdays (late August through early October), and any major concert or playoff game in Minneapolis — six months out is not too early, and December is the right time to lock in a prom bus. The more popular the date, the faster availability disappears and the more prices reflect that demand.

Once your headcount and date are confirmed, that's the right moment to call 833-458-7001 or use the quote form — available options in seconds, pricing right behind them.
