    Beautiful visitor center, employees are so nice. Make sure to get your free seeds and postcards before leaving. Place is so clean and that includes the bathroom. Make sure to stop by and take your picture with the Georgia sign.

    Georgia Welcoming Station!

    CLEAN bathrooms, easy parking and off/on ramps, wide open space to walk around outside...but the best thing is the manned Welcome Center. The two nice young ladies there answered our questions (even a few we didn't know we had)! Thank you for the sage advice, written info & suggestions! We loved The Rock Garden (we would have never known about it otherwise!). Thank you Georgia! I will plan a bicycle trip in the future in your state!

    Welcome to the peach state! What a nice welcome center, probably the best of any state that I've seen. This one is different, it's sort of a mixed rest area/mini museum/travel center. Pretty much whatever you'd want to know about the peach state, such as accommodations, attractions, family friendly sites, date night hot spots, food, history, travel directions, and festivals, can be located here. The welcome center/museum is actually manned by human beings who can also answer questions (shocker), direct you to certain areas and help out any way possible. There are many interesting mini museum historical exhibits illustrating Georgia history, too, which makes it quite interesting if you're a history buff. In other words, they have more than maps and a few brochures for the local Holiday Inn Express and Cracker Barrel locations. The inside is clean and spacious, with vending machines, comfy seating areas, charging outlets, huge restrooms which are tidy, and a nice outdoor park area/dog paths. The parking is ample and the location was an easy on/off the expressway. Overall, I found it much improved in comparison to the average rest stop.

    Nice little rest area to take a break or walk the dog, the restrooms are clean, they also have vending machines but they are expensive like most.

    Picnic and dog waking area

    This welcome Center is very nice, with clean bathrooms and Lots of space for dog walking. It's the perfect place to stop and stretch your legs for a minute and has easy on/off the highway.

    Very clean restrooms. Variety of vending machines. Plenty of information available for any area of Georgia you may want to visit. I make sure to always stop here for a map and hotel coupons.

    Great grounds.

    THE PERFECT REST STOP: CLEAN, SAFE AND WELL-STAFFED! This is a really nice rest stop for individuals, families and those with pets. The grounds are beautifully maintained and there are a number of areas where you can go off and have a private moment under one of the gazebos or at one of the picnic tables. The inside of the building is very clean and very well maintained. It is staffed with individuals who can answer our questions and point you in the right direction. They have an easel board highlighting current events and activities if you prefer. The bathrooms were very well designed with several stalls and they were very clean and appropriately stocked with supplies. There is a really nice dog walk available across from the main building for you to give Fido a break from riding in a confined car. I was surprised to know that they even sell lottery tickets here. Who knew?

    Beautiful Sunset Cruise, But Inconsistent Hours at the Gift Shop…read more We had a lovely time aboard the Southern Belle for their Sunset Cruise. When we boarded, we made our way to the middle deck, front of the boat--and found the perfect little spot with a private table and chairs. It felt like our own peaceful corner of the river. No crowd, just a quiet, relaxing ride with amazing views of the Chattanooga skyline and surrounding scenery as the sun set. Absolutely gorgeous. After docking, we decided to eat at the restaurant above the gift shop. It was a great way to end the evening--the food was tasty, and the river views from the deck made it even better. We asked the staff what time the gift shop closed and were told 9:00 PM, so we waited until after dinner to pick up souvenirs. Unfortunately, by the time we finished eating (maybe 10 minutes later), the shop had already closed. Kind of a bummer. Since then, we've tried to return twice while driving through Chattanooga--hoping to grab some mementos--but no one answers the phone, and the gift shop hasn't been open either time. Their posted hours on both the website and Google are clearly off, which has made it pretty frustrating. All in all, we loved the cruise and highly recommend it, especially if you can snag a quiet spot on the deck. Just don't count on the gift shop being open--even if you're told otherwise. Buy your souvenirs before dinner just to be safe!

    A nice midday diversion in the heart of Chattanooga…read more NOTE: The day before our trip, the venue called to say there would be 152 middle schoolers on the boat with us. They offered to move us to another date or refund, but we were coming from out of town and had no more availability, so we kept our booking. Location and Parking Located right on the riverfront, parking is available in a paid lot across from the dock. Venue and Atmosphere Enter through the gift shop, which is a replica of the boat. After we checked in and got our tokens and complimentary moon pie, we headed upstairs to the full service restaurant and bar. They have happy hour (BOGO free beers) all day Monday-Friday, which came as a pleasant surprise to us. The charcuterie board was delicious, colorful, and filling as well. All of the restaurant food here can be taken onto the boat, so off we went to enjoy a late lunch on the deck. The middle school group corralled on the first floor, so we enjoyed the second floor completely to ourselves. I must say this was the most welcome surprise of the day. The live narrator was knowledgable with a soothing voice. A few time he had to stop to get the kids under control or remind a chaperone to come ot the deck, but kids will be kids I guess. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient; and we had the sweetest bartender. Food and Beverages We had two Angry Orchard Ciders and a charceuterie board. Everything was delicious! Verdict I'll be back for the sunset cruise one day!
