    Located at mile marker 229, the Canoe Creek Plaza is in St. Cloud. I usually make it as far as the Canoe Plaza before leaving the Turnpike for the theme parks or to visit my daughter in Winter Park. This rest stop has both north and south bound entrances. Food options here include vending machines, Dunkin Donuts, KFC, Nathans, Nature's Table, Villa Pizza, and Wendy's. There is the typical Sunshine Market where you can pick up your sundries. Of course there are restrooms which is why you likely stopped as well as a picnic area. You can stock up on your tourist brochures which every kid likes to do in anticipation of fun destinations on a road trip. There is also Shell gas to refuel your vehicle and a Tesla charging station. This is a typical Turnpike rest stop meaning it is a great place to stretch your legs, visit the bathroom, grab some coffee or grub, and gas and be on your way to better places in Florida.

    This is the only stop before the $10 toll entry to Orlando. They have many restuaunts such as Villa (pizza), Wendy's, Dunkin', and a small market you can buy snacks and items to drink and eat. They have public restrooms as well. They allow service dogs too which is great!

    Nice large travel stop center, I like all the ones between Orlando and Miami honestly but here gas was more and they did not have sun pass available

    Bathrooms are always consistently clean here (women's). Dunkin Donuts open 24 hours. I especially like the lottery kiosk at this service plaza because not all plazas have the self service machine! Note that Dunkin does not accept mobile pay/gift cards here.

    Clean bathrooms, some decent fast food. And a little convenience store with all the things you could need on the road. Decent.

I stopped in during an extremely busy time of the day but still managed to find a parking space within a reasonable distance from the front entrance. The interior was chaotic, it's seems everyone in Florida decided to have lunch here at the same time - well to say the least it was busy and a bit in disarray. I decided to headed to the Wendy's counter where I was met by Natasha and a big smile she took my order then my money and kept me company while my sandwiches were being prepared. After a little more than a few minutes my bounty arrived hot and fresh - my double cheeseburger was still hot and so delicious, this may have been the best Wendy's sandwich I've ever had bar none, even taking into consideration I was famished this Turkey Lake Service Plaza Wendy's Burger was just what I needed - I think Dave Thomas is probably looking down smiling and his infamous daughter Melinda Lou "Wendy" Thomas-Morse is still breaking the bank. I'd stop here again....

You can stock up on your tourist brochures which every kid likes to do in anticipation of fun destinations on a road trip. There is also expensive gas to refuel your vehicle. Normally I prefer a turnpike rest area to the ones on I-95. The reason for my one star is they don't require masks even though there are recommendations to wear one on the door. How can you not require masks at a place that has people coming through from all parts of Florida? I would like to note that the workers inside are wearing masks. Every day the number of cases of Covid is rising in Florida as is the death rate. It was upsetting to see hardly anyone walking in with a mask. No thanks. I don't want to be standing next to other non mask wearing people in the tight confines of the bathroom. Shame on the transportation authorities for not requiring masks for people entering the building. The more open plans of the I-95 bathroom rest areas is a better bet right now. The only turkeys I saw here today were the selfish non mask wearing people. Let's get it together Florida because it is going to take all of us.

    A nice place for a stop off I-4 The westbound I-4 rest area…read morein Polk County, Florida, is a well-maintained and convenient stop for travelers. It is right off the interstate, is located near Polk City, and is open 24/7, providing essential amenities such as clean restrooms, vending machines, and Wi-Fi. The rest area seems to prioritize accessibility with handicap-friendly facilities, family restrooms, and nighttime security to ensure safety. Parking is plentiful, accommodating both cars and larger vehicles like RVs and trucks. This rest area is noted for its cleanliness and the calming atmosphere, making it suitable for more than just a pit stop. It is an excellent spot for relaxing, meditating, or taking a short break to recharge. The surrounding natural environment also offers opportunities for photography, with some visitors even spotting sandhill cranes and other local wildlife. For those exploring creative projects like filming or capturing scenic shots, the peaceful environment and well-kept surroundings are a bonus. Travelers have consistently rated this rest area highly for its upkeep and amenities, making it one of the better options along the I-4 corridor for a comfortable and safe stop. The rest rooms were some of the nicest ones that I have seen in any rest stop. Overall, it is a nice place to stop if you need a break on the drive.

I prefer the food court style rest area of the turnpike but these work too in a pinch. When you enter the rest stop cars go to the front and trucks to the back. This rest stop is located northbound in Brevard County at mile marker 168 in Grant-Valkaria, Florida. It is typical of the kind you find on I-95. You have clean bathrooms, covered picnic tables, and vending machines. People who need to walk their dogs can do so in a designated area. I do enjoy paying a visit to the vending machines. They now take debit cards instead of just coins and the prices for items are still reasonable. You can get a variety of candy bars, cookies, chips, and pop as well as a hot cup of coffee. This rest stop has plenty of clean bathrooms which is a big plus. Near the rest areas is the usual disturbing bulletin boards featuring missing kids and the poisonous snakes of Florida. While necessary information neither topic gives travelers a comforting feeling. Also by the bathrooms are the travel magazines containing coupons and adds for hotels or attractions. They seem kind of antiquated since you can easily get all of the information off of your smart phone without having to page through a magazine. While I 95 rest stops are basic they get the job done so you can get back on the road quickly and on to better places.

    I obviously had a different experience than others or something has really changed. Personally,…read moreI'm always happy when a rest area comes up when I need it or someone traveling with me needs it. No rest area is perfect. The cleaning and/or maintenance staff has a thankless job. As soon as the staff cleans it, or even while they are cleaning it, people just make a mess. Plus, no one can be there 24/7. People should really take better care and mind what they do...and be mindful of what they leave behind for staff "to do" because they didn't care, didn't pick up or clean up after themselves, were lazy, or just nasty. That said, sure...there were a few pieces of paper on the floor, and someone dropped a tissue, but it's not reason enough to call the place filthy. The important part is the facilities themselves were clean and stocked with toilet paper and soap. Isn't that what really matters? Moreover, the entry area was clean and tidy and the picnic area looked well-maintained. There is a family restroom located in front for your convenience if needed. The snack/vending area seems ample as well. Of course, there is plenty of parking, truck parking, and a pet relief area. If I have an issue with anything it is the quirky way you enter into this particular rest area...the road pattern is just strange. Please be advised, there aren't any tourist brochures at this location. This is basically a no-frills rest area and all business (if you know what I mean). At the end of the day, shouldn't we all be happy it's here? After all, sometimes nature calls when we least expect it!

The vending machines work. Litter is picked up. What is really concerning is that the surrounding area has been under construction for quite a while now. When you first pull in, you cannot park on the "safe" side away from the interstate, you have to drive all the way around and park on the side where everything is torn up. You have to be very careful because there are very few to no safety barriers up in some areas and in bad weather, you could end up in a very deep ditch.
