Summer Travel Resource: The Coaster Bus

Few activities spell summer fun quite like a family trip to a water park or amusement park—but, as many city parents can attest, getting the whole fam into the car and dealing with a long drive and the hassle of navigating and parking can be a downer. Enter the Coaster Bus!

Launched in 2015, the Coaster Bus is a service that provides transportation (and discounted admission) to and from over a dozen amusement parks within a three-hour drive of New York City (including Hersheypark, Lake Compounce, Morey’s Piers & Beachfront Waterparks, Sesame Place, Six Flags New England, and Kalahari Poconos Indoor Waterpark).

They offer multiple pickup locations in Manhattan and Queens, and provide complimentary snacks on board.
