With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Columbia, 20 miles away, has to offer. Mizzou Arena, Columbia Mall and Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t skip Macon either! Just 40 miles away, Maples Repertory Theatre, Long Branch State Park and West Winery are must-sees here.
