With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Albany, 40 miles away, has to offer. Albany Golf Club ought to be toward the top of your list here. Fort Griffin Fandangle and Old Jail Art Center are also not to be missed. Locals will also probably point you toward Wichita Falls, 50 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Kemp Center for the Arts. (But we’re also huge fans of The Plex and Backdoor Theatre.)
