With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Metropolis, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Harrah’s Metropolis, Superman Statue and Fort Massac State Park. Don’t forget about Marion either! Just 35 miles away, Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, Marion Carnegie Library and Rent One Park are non-negotiable stops here.
