What are the best road trip destinations near Essex?
If you're after a day-trip destination, we can help out. Located 30 miles away, Nebraska City is worth jumping in the car for. Arbor Day Farm, The Golf Club at Table Creek and Arbor Lodge State Historical Park alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Council Bluffs, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Henry Doorly Zoo.
