With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Santa Claus, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari, Lincoln State Park and 1935 Santa Statue. Don’t skip Evansville either! Just 40 miles away, Tropicana Evansville Casino, Eastland Mall and Mesker Park Zoo are non-negotiable stops here.
