With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Storm Lake, 20 miles away, has to offer. Living Heritage Tree Museum should be at the top of your list here. Storm Lake Golf Course and Chautauqua Park are excellent attractions too. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Sioux City, 45 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Orpheum Theatre. (But we’d also recommend Sioux City Art Center and The Sioux City Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.)
