With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Huntsville, 35 miles away, has to offer. US Space and Rocket Center, Bridge Street Town Centre and Huntsville Botanical Garden alone justify the drive. Situated 35 miles away, Gadsden is another popular choice. If you stop by, don’t miss Noccalula Falls Park, Gadsden Mall and Gadsden Kiwanis Park.
