With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Midland, 30 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Midland Mall, Midland Center for the Arts and Dow Diamond. Situated 30 miles away, Flint is another place to aim for. If you swing by, don’t miss Flint Farmers’ Market, Capitol Theatre and Masonic Temple.
