With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Marietta, 20 miles away, has to offer. Marietta Aquatic Center should be at the top of your list here. The Castle and Valley Gem Sternwheeler are terrific attractions too. Located 25 miles away, Parkersburg is another place to aim for. If you visit, don’t miss Grand Central Mall, Lee Middleton Doll Museum and Smoot Theater.
