With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Joplin, 45 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Webb City Farmers Market, Cunningham Park and Candy House Chocolate Factory. Don’t skip Bartlesville either! Just 50 miles away, Price Tower Arts Center, Kiddie Park and Adams Municipal Golf Course are non-negotiable stops here.
