With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Shipshewana, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Blue Gate Theater, Shipshewana Flea Market and Shipshewana Auction and Flea Market. Don’t forget about Kalamazoo either! Just 25 miles away, Air Zoo, Kalamazoo Valley Museum and Kalamazoo Institute of Arts are essential stops here.
