Barney's Adventure Bus is a Barney Home Video that was released on September 2, 1997.
Plot[]
It's Saturday, and the kids are playing together. Barney becomes a bus driver, and he turns Chip's toy school bus into a really big one for himself. He takes his friends on his imaginary adventure bus ride to imagination. First, Barney takes Kristen and Robert to the castle, where Scootles, the king and queen's cat has to be rescued by Sir Chip. Second, Barney takes Chip to the pizza parlor, where he can make the pizza with peppers, pineapple, peanut butter, pepperoni, and BJ's favorite food: pickles, as being mentioned by BJ. Third, Barney takes Keesha out west, where she can ride a real pony and spin a rope, and finally, Barney takes Baby Bop to the circus where she can see an elephant, who Kristen and Robert are dressed up as onstage while sitting in the audience with Chip, Keesha, and BJ, and Kristen and Robert, as well as Chip, Keesha, and BJ, the audience members, can watch her do some tightrope walking and they can join her for some tightrope hopping on center ring after the popcorn intermission, in which they use four out of the five senses, not mentioning touch. And as a special treat for BJ, he gets to join a rock band there so everyone can watch him do it on center ring, but only onstage. As everyone leaves in the end, Kristen stays behind to see the plush Barney, dressed as the bus driver saying, "And you were the best bus driver I ever had, Barney!" kissing him and leaving, with bus driver Barney staying behind and winking.

Trivia[]
- This video marked:
- The final appearance of the prototype Season 4 Barney costume.
- The first appearances of Robert and Keesha.
- The first home video to have the teaser trailer for Barney's Great Adventure.
- The first home video to have David Bernard Wolf as a musical director. David Bernard Wolf would compose the music for some other home videos such as It's Time For Counting, Sing & Dance With Barney, and Round and Round We Go.
- The first home video to use the Lyrick Studios logo.
- The Barney Theme Song in this home video uses the intro from Season 3 (featuring clips from the video, of course). However, when the video's title is shown beneath the "Season 3" logo, instead of saying, "Barney Home Video", it only says "Barney" (to show that this is not an episode from the TV series).
- The toy school bus that Chip was playing with was a "Fisher Price Little People School Bus" with Little People characters inside.
- The set for "Barney's Peppy Purple Pepperoni Pizzeria" would later be renovated in "Waiting For Mr. MacRooney".
- The set for "Barney's Super-Dee-Duper Circus" would later have the same name, but it will be later renovated in Barney's Super Singing Circus.
- The preview for this video is announced by Earl Fisher.
- Despite the fact that the video was produced in late 1996 to early 1997, the Latin American dub of this video was not released until 2001, hence why Barney is voiced by Rubén Cerda instead of Jose Carlos Moreno.
- Bob Singleton had composed the music for the preview of this video along with some other previews of some other home videos such as Barney's Good Day, Good Night and more.
- The subtitles were captioned by Caption Technologies, Inc on the DVD release of this video, just like the Barney Songs DVD.
- On November 22, 2002 [citation needed], this video was featured in the Blockbuster Video exclusive, On The Move with Barney (along with Round and Round We Go).
- The backgrounds in the bus sequences were done by Dallas-based animation studio DNA Productions, who later went on to make the Jimmy Neutron franchise.
- When this video was released on DVD, it was closed captioned by Caption Technologies, Inc.
- On the back cover of both the VHS and DVD releases for this video, Robert is mistakenly named as "Brett".
- When Ringmaster Barney says, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...", he adds, "...and little dinosaurs.", to which he says in a calm voice.
