Interested in science, history, or art? Visit the Peoria Riverfront Museum to delve into the city's past or enjoy an intense movie-going experience at the Giant Screen Theater. Perched on the Illinois River, the Peoria Riverfront Museum has only been open since 2012 but has since become one of the most visited attractions in the city. The exhibits and collections on display at the museum are highly varied, including everything from Finding Titanic: The Secret Mission to the Peoria Holocaust Memorial. While some of the exhibits are temporary, the museum houses a permanent collection of 16,000 works that includes everything from fine arts to natural sciences. If you're intrigued by the vast expanse of space, visit the museum's Dome Planetarium to venture to galaxies that are thousands of lightyears away.
If you're traveling to the city with your family, spend the day at Peoria Zoo, a lovely outdoor park that hosts more than 100 species of animals. The zoo contains six distinct exhibits that you can explore, such as the Asian Trail, Australian Walk-About, and Tropics Building. Visit the Africa exhibit to view a simulation of the grasslands that typically serve as the natural habitats of animals like the Madagascar tree boa and the Taveta golden weaver. For lunch, get a bite to eat at The Lodge at Peoria Zoo.

Pickup near or at Airports
Whether you're driving along N Galena Rd. to reach Detweiller Park or Interstate 74 to get to the downtown district, your rental car gives you the flexibility to decide where you're going and which streets you take to get there. Before you get in the driver's seat of your rental vehicle to discover Peoria, here are some car rental tips that should help you navigate the city.
Driving in Peoria has its fair share of perks, the primary of which is that operating a rental car in most of the city is a breeze. Traffic along the I-74 rarely becomes too congested. However, it can get very busy in the city, particularly the downtown area, during rush hour.
Speed limits can vary depending on where you're driving in the city. On residential and downtown streets, the speed limit is usually 30 miles per hour (MPH). On highways, the speed limit can vary from 55-70 MPH. For example, the speed limit on I-74 as you approach the city changes from 65 MPH to 55 MPH. Pay attention to your navigation software or the street signs to ensure you don't exceed the posted limits.
The quality of driving in Peoria also differs based on the season. The city experiences more than 100 rainy days per year as well as an average annual snowfall of 26 inches. Check the forecast before you travel. If you think you'll need to drive in poor weather conditions, consider renting a Chevrolet Tahoe or Hyundai Santa Cruz for better traction.
Parking spaces can be somewhat sparse in Downtown Peoria on the weekend or on Saturdays when the Peoria Riverfront Market is ongoing. There are, however, numerous parking garages, decks, and on-street spaces in the city. In the downtown area, parking is available for two-hour intervals from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm in metered and free spaces. Parking is free after 5:00 pm and on weekends.
There aren't any toll roads in the vicinity of Peoria. However, you may come across some tolls if you venture beyond the city while taking a road trip. The Illinois Tollway spans 294 miles across 12 counties, including Will and Cook Counties. Look for toll roads along stretches of I-90, I-355, I-88, I-80, and IL 390. The best way to navigate these tolls is with the I-PASS sticker tag, which effectively reduces the cost of tolls by 50%.
Whether you're driving an electric Tesla Model 3 or a standard car like a Honda Accord, you'll have access to the EV chargers and gas stations you need. Of the dozens of gas stations in Peoria, the main brands that service the city are Shell, Circle K, and Mobil. Check out regional gas stations like Hucks as well.
If you require an EV charging station for your rental car, there are 119 locations in Peoria, 19 of which accommodate free charging. Tesla Supercharger, ChargePoint, and Ford Charge are the most widely available networks in the city.
While Peoria isn't as large as places like Chicago and Naperville, it's also not a small city. It's unreasonable to walk from one end of the city to the other. If you're in the downtown area, some streets are walkable. Public transportation also links many of the districts in and around the city. However, you'll deal with lengthy wait times that can otherwise be avoided with a rental car. If you have plans to visit Peoria Zoo and EastSide Centre on the same day, a car is necessary.
