    The visitor center was closed today but restrooms remained open for use. Great view of the Mississippi River and two significant bridges one a railway and the other a highway. Security is located in the parking lot. I would stop here again.

    Accessible traveling both ways from I-20 at the Louisiana State Line, this Welcome Center did not have any picnic tables that I could see, but did have a spot for animals to relieve themselves. There are clean-ish restrooms with hand dryers that work when you pass by, but do not work when you wave your hands in front of them or under them. The toilet paper was running low on a Friday afternoon. There is ample enough parking, a view of the mighty Mississippi. Inside there are pamphlets of things to do nearby.

    Mississippi Welcome Center lays off of I20 in Vicksburg, MS just before landing in LA or if your coming east to MS. Make sure you take the exit before the bridge to catch this beauty of history! At the welcome center they have plenty of parking for you to park your car unwind and just relax before hopping on the road to your final destination. I was driving through MS to TX to catch the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic and the family needed to stretch and use the restrooms so we decided to take a pit stop here. There is plenty of restrooms and they were very clean as well. Inside the welcome center they have complimentary coffee for you to drink and they also have a lot of magazines and maps you can read about of the Great state of Mississippi! They have a lot of plaques and pictures up of the state to view too. If you walk behind the building you can witness the Mississippi river with a nice beautiful bridge over it. There is the United states flag on the left while the state flag is on the right. They have cannons facing towards the water and it is just absolutely amazing. There is tons of history and very important memorabilia here about the Magnolia state and how it was the 20th state in 1817 and how it was colonized by the French in 1699. So if your on the I20 going either direction make sure you take that exit to take a pit stop and get out wind down and relax with some coffee and take that well deserved break before getting back on the road!

    It wasn't open when we got there but it has a little museum inside. INCREDIBLE views for picture taking behind the building. There is a big welcome sign there as well!

    Pleasant, many antiques of days gone by.... Christmas tree up for the holidays. Many items on display of local retailers, but not for sale. Clean restrooms.. great parking for cars & picnic areas. Not so much for big trucks, buses & RVs... The parking ar as are too short for large trucks & anyone with some length on them. Would be hard to pull out & not hit anything on the way.

    Nicely done inside

    This was a very interesting layout for a welcome center, and I felt that can make that comment, as on the drive from Florida, had previously stopped at the Georgia and Alabama State Welcome centers. One major difference was that the bathrooms were external to the building and smelt a little bit. There were 8 stalls in the ladies loo and en route I passed two vending machines - one for drinks and one for snacks. I noticed the snacks were priced at $1.10 and so more expensive than other welcome centers. Also if you see the water vending machine outside, the assumption might be no water fountain, but there is one inside the building. Inside the staff was very welcoming and offered me free coffee - lot of Elvis memorabilia and lovely older style furniture (looked style-wise like from the 60s?) Lots of lovely spaces to walk as well but the fact that the bathrooms were outside plus vending costs were more, just didn't sit right. Note: #150 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

    See all

    Very nice and clean but beware trying to get any Class A RV's pulling a toad into here. It can be done but it's a tight fit.

    I try to stop here every chance that I get. Please visit the center and not just the restrooms. It is well worth the time.
