Natural Bridge
About an hour away, but a great sight to see.
An hour away, but it’s a drive through “safari” where you feed animals, and there’s also a walk through zoo. My advice is to keep your windows up while you’re driving through the first little stretch. The animals will swarm your car and you won’t get very far, and will go through all your food quickly. Keep your windows up and they’ll hound the car behind you. You’ll have a much more pleasant drive and can enjoy looking at and feeding the animals (watch out for the llamas, they spit! I have it on camera).
