If you’re searching for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got some suggestions. Sitting 55 miles away, Chester is worth hopping in the car for. Elzie C. Segar Memorial Park, Chester Skating Rink and Popeye Museum alone make the drive out worth it. Don’t skip Cape Girardeau either! Just 60 miles away, Isle Casino Cape Girardeau, Lazy L Safari Park and Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center are non-negotiable stops here.
