What are the best road trip destinations near Peoria?

Time to see what your new ride can do. Day trips into the nearby areas are just one of the reasons that renting a car here is such a tempting idea. Without one, it wouldn't be half as easy to soak up everything that Norris, 25 miles away, has to offer. Once you've stretched out your legs and gotten a bite to eat, it'll be time to see the sights. We suggest starting your trip with Lakeland Park, Big Creek Park and Wallace Park. Situated 35 miles away, Bloomington is another popular option. If you stop by, make sure you check out the Illinois State University, Eastland Mall and the Illinois Wesleyan University.
