Just your typical Florida rest stop oh, so I did like the little benches that almost appeared like little bus stops by the parking spaces. As I said, this is typical Florida rest area where it has the usual vending machines, ample space to walk your pet, few picnic tables and rest rooms. The rest area is relatively clean and it is a good stop before hitting Pensacola. I would definitely recommend to stop here.

Instead we let other people get away with things like being child predators and grooming your child through secret web sites.

The Blue Angels fighter jet alone makes it worth stopping in this rest area. Surprisingly, I have…read morenever been here before and I have been to Pensacola countless times. Not only surprisingly, but sadly. This rest area is located around milton, Florida and at the 30 mile marker. It is the last exit that you will find before you hit Pensacola. The rest area had the usual pavilions and a couple of picnic tables. They had a small walking path that was roughly 2/10 of a mile. They also had the usual and expected vending machines. This is definitely a cool rest area, even simply for the Blue Angels fighter jet. If you are heading to Pensacola or even any further west on Interstate 10 and you get to mile marker 30, stop in and check this rest area out.

It is connected to a Florida Department of Transportation depot which I suppose saves the state a bunch of effort and money. The rest area is a loop and yes, because it is accessed off the highway, you're not going to have anyone zipping through it. And as a loop, surrounded by high trees, it's possible that you can find a shady spot for a quick snooze. Which I did. Driving is hard work! [Review 932 of 2024 - 1811 in Florida - 21961 overall]

This is the Okaloosa County Rest Area for travelers heading east along Interstate 10. It is…read morelocated near mile marker 58 (though the center itself notes it as mile marker 60). When entering, cars will go to the left while trucks go to the right. Florida rest areas are open 24 hours a day. My visit to this rest area was on August 26, 2022. After traveling for a little while, it was time to take a break from driving and being on the road. This is the rest area we stopped at in Okaloosa County. The first stop at this rest area was to use the restroom. The restrooms were nice. They were pretty big for a rest area. They were also clean and well maintained too. Using the restroom isn't the only reason to stop at a rest area. I also took advantage of moving around and getting my body moving so that my legs don't cramp up while driving. They have a leg stretching trail, which is a little over a quarter mile in distance. There are spots here where you can take your pets to relieve themselves too, but pets are not allowed in the building (service animals only). There are several picnic tables, with some of them covered, as well as tree cover in the area too. This makes it a great place to stop for a bit. One of the signs here did surprise me a bit, as it noted that some organizations have permits to solicit at welcome centers and rest areas. We didn't encounter that on this visit, but it is good knowing this. Overall, the Okaloosa County Rest Area for I-10 East is very nice. There is something for everyone when it comes to taking a break, using the restroom, or even just taking in some of the sights or walking the stretch your legs trail. If your travels take you this way, this rest area is worth stopping in for a short bit.

Do not recommend those, however the restrooms are very clean & tidy. And we have stopped two weeks in a row & they have been very clean & tidy both times. The outside is a very large green space. A parklike area with some very pretty pavilions dotted with picnic areas. Pets are not allowed in the pavilion/eating areas. There are some designated areas for pets, but not at the pavilions. It's also very minimalistic outside as well. There are some shady pine trees but no flowering shrubs, flowerbeds etc., very minimal shrubbery, plain, very simple borderline boring scenery, but very well maintained. The next exit/stop is "Evergreen" only 4 miles up the highway with tons of Fast food chains, restaurants, shopping etc., There is even a very cool fenced in pet area to walk your pets at the local Conecuh sausage factory up at the Evergreen exit, just FYI. Safe Travels.

I been coming here since I was a kid. This Florida welcome…read moreCenter has been here since 1949. Before my mom died her favorite story to tell was a story about me, at this Florida welcome center, when I was just 4 years old. One day we were traveling from my grandparents house in Louisiana (her parents home) back to our home, here in Pensacola. We lived here in Pirate'cola when I was a baby, my father was in the service here. Anyway, as the story goes, we were driving back from grandmas house about 2 and a half hours drive. Everyone wanted to stop for orange juice & I had to pee. I was 4 so orange juice was very important & I was very excited to get my orange juice. Anyway, back in those days I was a little majorette in Kindergarten. I was a very good baton twirler, had a snazzy little blue sequined one piece body suit & white cowboy boots that I wore on the field at the football game. Anyway, I was the smallest majorette with my tiny baton & tiny tiny little white cowboy boots. I was so adorable! I wore them to my grandmothers to show her how cute I was, obviously, and was still wearing my cute little white boots on the way home. So I waited & waited so excited to get my orange juice but it was taking longer than I expected to pull into the Florida Welcome Center. We pull in & I jumped out of the car, running to the bathroom to pee so I could go get my Orange Juice! But i didn't make it up the hill & peed in my little white boots. When my mom got up the hill to the entrance, I was barefoot sitting on the grass. She asked me where are your little white boots & I pointed at the trash can. lol After I peed in my little white boots, I obviously did not need them anymore. duh. Anyway, I did get my orange juice & a new pair of little white boots the next week as I was taught to never litter. Till this very day, every time I come into Pensacola & see that big Florida Welcome sign, I always remember how much I love Florida, my memories of my mother, her exquisitely untarnished love for me & the smell of fresh new white cowboy boots.
