About The Mini Unicorn Party Bus

Meet the most recognizable wrap in Minneapolis, now in a smaller package. The Mini Unicorn is a 15-passenger party bus wearing the exact same colorful unicorn exterior as our famous 25-seat Unicorn Party Bus — the one people point at on Hennepin Avenue. If you’ve ever watched the big Unicorn roll by and thought “that, but for my group of twelve,” this is your bus. All the sparkle, none of the empty seats.

Inside, it’s everything our minis are known for. A premium Kicker sound system with Bluetooth, so your playlist runs the night. A flower wall and custom neon sign built for photos, music-activated lights, two spinning dance poles, hardwood floors, and light-up cup holders next to a glowing bar and cooler area. It’s a natural fit for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and sweet 16s, works beautifully as a kids’ party on wheels, and is just the right size for a brewery crawl when your crew is small but your plans aren’t.

Like every bus we run, the Mini Unicorn comes with a licensed CDL chauffeur, full insurance, and a current DOT inspection — all 24+ buses are maintained by our own full-time repair shop, the only one of its kind among Twin Cities party bus companies, and we pick up anywhere in the metro. We’ve been doing this since 2008 with a 4.8-star rating across 6,600+ Google reviews. Comparing sizes? Browse the rest of our mini party bus lineup, see every bus and current rates, and if your guest list outgrows 15, the original 25-seat Unicorn is ready when you are.

This Season on The Mini Unicorn Party Bus

Fall is the Mini Unicorn’s season: homecoming and Sadie’s dance groups fit perfectly in its 15 seats, and Sweet 16s keep it rolling year-round. School-dance Saturdays book out well ahead — grab yours early.

10/10 recommend Amy!! She’s fun, easy going, and willing to let the party go for longer than what we planned to have the bus for! (We paid for the extra time). She had no issue with it. Amy was great!! We had the unicorn party bus.

We had a blast renting the unicorn party bus for my friend's 40th birthday! The driver was nice and on time. We couldn't be happier with the service and will rent again in the future.

A group of us rented the unicorn bus and we had the best time. The only bad thing about it was that the trip was short. I wish we would’ve been on the bus a little bit longer, lol.

FAQ

What’s the difference between this and the 25-seat Unicorn Party Bus?

Ten seats and the price tag. The Mini Unicorn wears the same colorful unicorn wrap and carries the full mini interior — Kicker sound, flower wall, neon, dance poles — at mini-bus rates. If your group is 15 or fewer, this is the smarter buy; if your list keeps growing, step up to the original.

Can we play our own music?

Yes, you can connect via Bluetooth and be the DJ.

How much does it cost to rent The Mini Unicorn Party Bus?

Full rates are posted right on this page — see the rate card above. Rates vary by day and hours, and Saturdays book first. Call or text 612-226-1188 to lock in your date.

Is there a deposit to reserve the bus?

Yes, your reservation is secured with a deposit. The remaining balance is typically due before your trip (we’ll confirm timing during booking).

 

How far in advance should I book?

Weekends (especially spring–fall) book fast. For the best time slots, book 2–6+ weeks ahead. Sometimes we can still pull off a day of event but it’s a lot harder.

What’s included in the rental?

A professional driver, the bus, and all onboard features (sound system, lighting, photo spots, etc.). You’ll also get a clear itinerary plan before pickup.

How many people fit on The Mini Unicorn Party Bus?

This bus seats up to 15 passengers comfortably.

Where can you pick us up and drop us off?

We can pick up/drop off anywhere in the Twin Cities (and beyond). 

Can we make multiple stops?

Yes, you can make as many stops as you like as long as it’s within your time frame. 

How long should we book the Mini Unicorn Party Bus for?

Most groups book 3–5 hours for dinner + bars, or 6+ hours for a full night out.

What if we run late at pickup?

We recommend having your group ready early. Late starts may reduce drive time and stops, depending on the schedule

Can we add overtime during the trip?

Usually yes if the bus is available.

How much should we tip the driver?

A 20% driver gratuity is required on all rentals and is added at booking — your quoted total already covers it, so there’s nothing to figure out on the night. If your driver goes above and beyond, extra cash tips are appreciated but never expected.

Can we decorate the bus?

Light, removable decorations are usually fine (think balloons, banners, table décor). No confetti, glitter, silly string, or anything permanent.

Do you allow food on the bus?

Small snacks are usually okay. If you want to bring a full meal/catering, ask us first so we can plan for cleanup.

Is there a cleaning fee?

A standard cleaning policy applies. Excessive mess may result in an additional cleaning charge—keep it simple and you’re good.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellation terms depend on how close you are to the reservation date. The cancellation policy is listed in our Terms & Conditions.

Does the Mini Unicorn Party Bus run in winter?

Yes — the Mini Unicorn runs year-round and is fully heated, so it stays warm through a Minnesota January. Winter dates are popular for holiday light tours and birthdays, and if a snowstorm ever makes travel unsafe, we’ll work with you to reschedule.

Is The Mini Unicorn Party Bus good for photos?

Yes — between the holographic unicorn wrap outside and the flower wall, custom neon, and music-activated lights inside, this bus was built for pictures.
