With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Columbus, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Magnolia Motor Speedway, Tennessee Williams Welcome Center and Columbus Arts Council - Rosenzweig Arts Center. Don’t miss Philadelphia either! Just 35 miles away, Silver Star Casino, Pearl River Resort and Golden Moon Casino are must-sees here.
