With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Bay City, 30 miles away, has to offer. Bay City State Park should be toward the top of your list here. Bay City Mall and Roosevelt Park are fantastic attractions too. Frankenmuth Township is another terrific option. It’s 35 miles away and boasts a range of fun things to see and do. Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland, Frankenmuth Historical Museum and Grandpa Tiny’s Farm are only the start.
