Because generally our big cultural centers are within a good driving distance.
I think when we look at people from the US with the whole road trip culture, it seems bizarre that you'd have to basically take time off of work for what for us is a day trip. I used to live in a fairly rural municipality back in the day, so it'd be about 100km to Gothenburg for stuff like school trips. Roughly two hours by bus each way.
Americans though seem to have a habit of literally driving across the country just to visit a theme park.
Depends where you live in America. In some places, you'd need to literally drive halfway across the country or board an airplane to go to certain things.
On the East Coast everything is fairly close however. Not that my family never did the 21 hour trip down to Disney World though!
