With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Glen Rose, 30 miles away, has to offer. Dinosaur Valley State Park should be toward the top of your list here. Fossil Rim Wildlife Center and Dinosaur World are also not to be missed. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Dublin, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Dublin Historical Museum. (But we’d also recommend Dublin Rodeo Heritage Museum and Ben Hogan Museum.)
