With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Marietta, 25 miles away, has to offer. Marietta Aquatic Center, The Castle and Valley Gem Sternwheeler alone justify the drive. Don’t miss Zanesville either! Just 30 miles away, Secrest Auditorium, Y Bridge and Zanesville Museum of Art are must-sees here.
