It's about 10 miles west of the Weston toll plaza. They have many things as well - a Four-Story Observation Tower: A 40-foot-tall structure that provides panoramic 360-degree views of the surrounding wetlands and is accessible via a long ramp. Elevated Boardwalks: An extensive network of winding boardwalks over a three-acre engineered wetland, allowing visitors to view native flora and fauna safely. Nature Exhibits: The site includes a wetland plant exhibit, an arboretum with native landscaping, and informative kiosks about the Everglades ecosystem. One of these days I will get to the tower, boardwalks and nature exhibits. I do know that it is a perfect place to use their restrooms! And they are new now!

There isn't anything out here but this twilight zone rest stop so we just had to stop here as we are on another one of our Davy Crockett journeys.

LOL Beam me up Scotty! Hahaha hahaha hahaha. You have entered the twilight zone here OuiOui.

I heard it wa very nice but didn't get a chance to pop into that portion of this plaza but I will next time! The gas prices here are reasonable especially because they can charge whatever they want, being the only gas station in such a huge radius of space! The pumps were all clean and there's more than enough parking for when I wanted to run inside. I decided to grab a couple croquettes and a toastada from one of the kiosks inside. While it did take a bit of time (because I think they forgot to press the bread) it was amazing, all the food. The croquettes were massive and flavored perfectly for both the ham and queso ones I got. The toast had a perfect amount of butter on it and a wonderful crunch to the crust!

Located on Alligator Alley at Exit 49 (Snake Road). Plenty of parking, The bathrooms are spotless. Gas station with affordable gas.

I feel like I'm back in Vegas where you can find casinos everywhere. Ha. If you have to stop anywhere for a bathroom break and in this area, stop here! It's just CLEAN!!!

Stopped in today during a busy travel day after the Thanksgiving holiday, the traffic on the…read moreturnpike was pretty heavy and since I didn't fuel the RV on the way down to the Keys I figured I should top it off anticipating some stop and go delays. These service plazas are left lane exits so it can be a challenge getting over when the traffic is heavy but once I made the ramp the layout here makes it reality easy to navigate and access the truck lanes to get to the separate diesel pump island. The fueling island is remote and like most truck fueling you have to prepay inside prior to pumping, this is quite the walk past the Tesla Superchargers then through the gas pumps, I purposely under estimated how many gallons I needed so I wouldn't have to make a second trip inside to get a receipt for the actual gallons I pumped so I definitely missed the mark on filling the tank but I knew I'd stop again once I got closer to home so I could put her in the garage with a full tank in preparation for our next trip. As expected the inside was extremely busy I think I was at least 10 customers back to pay, they did have both registered staffed so the line did move rather quickly. It seemed everyone was ordering food so that wasn't an option even the wait for a cup of coffee was more than I was willing to wait so I made a cup in the Keurig once I got back in the bus before getting back on the road - overall a pretty good experience...

In my mind, the primary purpose of a highway rest or service area is CLEAN, well-maintained restrooms. THis service plaze aced that criteria. Second, it's important that it have plenty of well-lite parking - another ace. And finally, it's important that you be able to grab a bite to eat. This service plaza excelled in that category with a Burger King,, Pizza Hut, Dukin Donuts, and a mini supermarket. There was enought variety to satisfy any traveler. Kudos to the State of Florida or the Florida Turnpike people (whoever's in charge) - this is what a service plaze should be.

And this place understands that sacred human truth better than most institutions of government. I rolled in, weary and road-blind, and emerged victorious with almond M&M's and a Diet Coke--because balance is important and freedom isn't free. It's a rest stop, sure, but it's a good rest stop. Clean bathrooms. Bright lights. Functional logistics. No weird energy. No fear. And let's take a moment to respect the visionaries--the powdered-wig geniuses who planned the Florida Turnpike with stops along the way so modern Americans could safely shuttle back and forth to the mouse without descending into chaos. Call it infrastructure. Call it foresight. Call it patriotism with air conditioning. This is not a place you critique. This is a place you appreciate. You don't Yelp a lifeboat. You thank it.

Big…read moreCypress was supposed to be part of Everglades National Park when it was created in 1947 but the land was still privately owned so it was released from the park. In the 1960's the land that is now Big Cypress Preserve was slated to become a large jet port. Community activists made up of environmentalists, sportsmen, conservationists, and members of the Native tribes, Seminole and Miccosoukee joined together to halt the impending development. On October 11, 1974 Big Cypress Preserve along with Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas became the first National Preserves when the United States National Park System was created. Thanks to a dedicated group of people 700,000 acres were preserved leaving them to protect the estuaries of Florida's southwest coast. Big Cypress Oasis Visitor Center is one of two visitor centers in Big Cypress Preserve at each end of Tamiami Trail. Oasis is on the east side closer to Miami. The building for the Big Cypress Oasis Visitor Center was built in the 1960's when this area was once a private airport that had an airplane hanger and restaurant. A passenger plane was mounted to the roof as a decoration. Later on it became a service station before being purchased by the National Park Service in the 1980s to be used as a visitor center. Today the Big Cypress Oasis Visitor Center houses a gift shop, exhibits, educational information, educational film, National Park Service rangers who can give advice, information on available activities, and directions. Outside the center is picnic tables, native flower garden, and interpretive panels giving the history of the area. My favorite part is the boardwalk along a canal that is filled with alligators. You can also see gar, herons, snowy egrets, and red-shouldered hawks. There is a hiking trail just north of the visitor center that is best during the dry season, November through April.
