With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Owensboro, 35 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights beginning with Smothers Park, International Bluegrass Music Museum and Yellow Creek Park. Situated 40 miles away, Evansville is another popular choice. If you drop by, don’t miss Tropicana Evansville Casino, Eastland Mall and Mesker Park Zoo.
