Wow this welcome center is awesome! It's beautiful, nice, clean, lots of benches and things to see. Nice big lawn you can have a picnic here. A Vietnam Veteran Memorial with walls of info and display, a green house and informational desk. You gotta come see it for yourself.

My favorite welcome center. I love the flowers, and all the history I reread every time I stop there. They also always have my favorite coffee ☕. The people that keep it clean are so nice. I think everyone should stop 🛑 here to learn a little about Vermont history and see some beautiful flowers 🌼🌹.

It’s a very good place to stop and have lunch, freshen up, or stressing out awhile during a long driving trip. It’s spacious, with fresh air and plenty of spaces to park. It has clean restrooms and interesting displays. Adding to it, there was a table with cookies and muffins to sell (donating to veterans). It’s one of the best welcoming centers I have been to

the best welcome center where you can watch your own excrement get processed by plants.

a beautiful selection of tropical flowers all growing from everyone's waste.

Nice place. Limited number of restrooms. It has a nice greenhouse and a silent war memorial. It has a nice and green lawn with benches to eat. The ramp from the highway to this rest area is a little bit long.

I've been to quite a number of rest areas in my travels through many states, but this one really impressed me. The architectural design is fabulous with clean and pleasing lines and excellent use of space and geography. Inside you will find a squeaky clean facility with great light, displays, and clean restrooms. They have a very friendly and helpful staff ready to offer any information you may need. The other gem is their Vietnam memorial! It is an excellent, beautiful and moving place that will really put your heart in your throat... A "I'm not crying, you're crying" visit that, as a Vietnam era veteran, I sincerely appreciate!

Probably the most interesting rest stop I've ever been to. They showcase aspects of Vermont beautifully. They also have a greenhouse displaying the various steps for water filtration that they use. As well as a very nice memorial for the veterans of the Vietnam War. The area overlooking I-89 is impeccably kept, and has 2 chairs that overlook the valley. They are prime real estate for pictures.

Green Mountain brand coffee available. It’s not free—make a donation.
Lots of area to walk around.
They have an industrial fan blowing from the urinals of the men’s room out towards the entrance. I stop there almost weekly and this fan is always there. That’s gross and unhealthy.
They clean their own waste water in an attached solarium by running the water through different pools. As a result, the building can smell a little like poo.
Also has a Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The first one in the country according to the plaque (1982!).
Normal vending machines.
Staff on duty if you have questions.
