With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Shamrock, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Shamrock Country Club, U-Drop Inn and Blarney Stone. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Pampa, 25 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Pampa H2O Aquatic Center. (But we’d also highly recommend Woody Guthrie Folk Music Center and Central Park.)
