With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Council Bluffs, 45 miles away, has to offer. Henry Doorly Zoo, Horseshoe Council Bluffs and TD Ameritrade Park Omaha alone justify the drive out here. Situated 45 miles away, Nebraska City is another popular option. If you drop by, be sure to check out Arbor Day Farm, The Golf Club at Table Creek and Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.
