Georgia Welcome Center

"Wow! Extraordinary welcome center. Staff is super helpful with suggestions of places to visit. The bathrooms were modern and very clean. The center has volumes of information about many places to visit in Georgia."

"This is a very nice showcase for visitors entering Georgia. This state-maintained site is located southbound on I-95 by mm 111, this is an easy-off, easy-on stop for travelers driving into the state. The design of the parking area is interesting in two ways. As you exit, the truck parking is to the right and the car parking is to the left and the car parking is designed as a full circle around the main building. There is plenty of parking for cars and trucks in those two places. The building is very pretty on both the inside and outside. The building in the center of the circular lot is a large building with a stone facade and a covered patio around the exterior of the building. Inside the structure, it is wood floors, large windows, and high wood ceilings. The restrooms are to the right as you enter from the Interstate-facing side. The open area inside has many interesting features including a train car, brochure racks by area, a large manufactured tree, and a Forrest Gump statue/bench for photos. The restrooms were clean and the building was well-arranged. I enjoyed it and hope to stop there in the future."

"Beautiful and spacious welcome center, southbound on I-95 approaching Savannah, GA. Spacious, clean restrooms, interpretive signage, knowledgeable staff. Plenty of parking for all size vehicles. Pet walking area with dog water fountain, picnic areas outside. Very convenient and welcoming."

"This is the nicest rest area I’ve been to. The parking lot is large. It has walking paths to stretch your legs or to sit on one of the many benches to relax. There are two covered pavilions. Each has eight round picnic tables that seat four people in each. But it’s the inside of the Welcome Center that makes this rest area so nice. The tall ceilings allow for big displays including a tall lighthouse and lots of (fake) trees. There are hundreds of brochures to take and a few staff are happy to answer questions. Seeing pictures of Fort Mountain State Park in Chatsworth makes me want to visit northwest Georgia. I like that they have signs with a QR code, phone number to call or text and web address asking for feedback. The building is open 24 hours for bathrooms and vending machines but the main hall is open from 8:30AM to 5:30PM. Pets are not allowed (only service dogs) inside the visitor center."

"This is the first time we stopped here and cannot begin to tell you how cute it was inside. The bathrooms were super clean and they have coupons for a few attractions for Savannah. Got some cute pictures as well."
