Dog park

This is a wonderful place to take a break. When we arrived, they offered free coffee and had a water fill station. The restrooms were clean, and two very friendly ladies were available to help or chat. There are also some items for sale in the gift shop. Outside, you'll find vending machines and a dog park area. The location felt safe, and there was plenty of space to stretch our legs.

Very nice visitors center staffed with helpful friendly ladies. It also has a gift shop with MIO goods. It is worth a stop. The visitor center is easy access for north bound traffic. For south bound travelers exit at the Franklin Dr exit MP1 and follow the signs. To return south bound go north. take the first exit available, left turn, cross over the highway and left turn to the south bound on ramp.

Helpful, friendly staff available to answer any questions!

Great stop near the Texas/Oklahoma border! Clean restrooms, friendly staff and free coffee! Fun photo ops outside and even a mini dog exercise area. If you buy any of the Tshirts, sweatshirts or glasses you must have cash. No credit cards accepted. It's like a mini Bucees in a mini size. I would stop here again!

So let's discuss why Swiss chocolate is so much better than American. Oh wait that's Choctalk

If you go to Hershey PA, you can take a "Choc-tour", a guided tour of their facilities. This is not that. And in fact it's probably about as exciting. It's not a bad rest area, but it's a little dimly-lit and in the middle of nowhere, so I would have been scared especially if I was the kind of person who understands fear. There's nothing here in the way of gas pumps or facilities. Just some bathrooms. Still, I'm glad it exists. Much like your bf's equipment.

Great place to stop with a pet as there are several large fenced dog park areas. Just watch out for fire ants. Clean restrooms. Easy on and off the interstate. They take Apple Pay.

Oklahoma Welcome Center - Oklahoma

This Oklahoma Welcome Center is located right off Interstate 35 going north and south in…read moreThackerville, OK. It's a terrific rest stop/welcome center for all those tourists needing info on where to go and what to explore when visiting Oklahoma. And that was the case for me. I was coming to Oklahoma...specifically Oklahoma City and was interested in getting some insight into the worthwhile attractions and landmarks that Oklahoma is known for. I really didn't preplan ahead of time for visiting Oklahoma. I just knew that I had never stepped foot inside the state and wanted to get a real feel experience for all the cool spots, hangouts, parks, museums...etc. This Welcome Center had it! Any type of brochure, guide and map...this place was a one stop shop. Inside the Welcome Center...all they ask for from you is to provide them with your home zip code which they write down for their own statistics. Meanwhile...I was grabbing plenty of brochures for all the interesting sights and areas in Oklahoma City. I left with a bag full of information for my explorations! This place was the perfect introduction to Oklahoma. And it was here where I discovered Turner Falls Park, a pleasant waterfall setting located in Davis, OK about 47 miles straight north from here. Obviously while at this welcome center, you might as well use the restroom. They have plenty of grassy area for walking your dog, even some picnic tables if you'd like to take time having lunch. What really won me over about this rest stop was right at the front entrance section when driving in from the northern side of the highway, off to the right-hand side...there's a wonderful Welcome to Oklahoma Sign that is definitely picture worthy. Especially, for me...I've been trying to visit every state in the USA and here at this welcome center, the sign for entering was shaped exactly like the state of Oklahoma, with the top part of the sign pointing towards the left...a replica of how you'd envision the state to appear. I absolutely recommend a getting a picture of this. Plus, near the welcome center building was a bison sign again stating this is Oklahoma along with some interesting facts and history about what the state is known for. Ultimately for myself, getting to be here at the border of Texas and Oklahoma was sort of a surreal moment. I'm just a random person who grew up in New York and after 42 years finally stepping foot in Oklahoma, (a place in my head that reminds me of the heartland of America)...it was pretty exciting! Just some last facts about this Oklahoma Welcome Center... - It's situated 83 miles north of Dallas, TX and 124 miles south of Oklahoma City, OK. - They do feature little vending machines off to the side of the entrance building if you'd like to buy a snack or refreshment. - There are gas stations located a couple of miles away to the north and south. Overall, this Oklahoma Welcome Center situated right on the border with Texas is 5 stars as good as it gets in terms of being a quality rest stop and having all the amenities you could ask for. I'm grateful I pulled off to the side of Interstate 35 to take a break here.

We did not end up going inside of this walking center, but I like that they had signs and things we…read morecould take pictures of to document that we visited Oklahoma right outside. They had outdoor bathrooms that were okay. Not the best but not the worst.

They've got a great selection of food, or you can eat in the restaurant, I usually grab one of their homemade sandwiches which are absolutely delicious. You can find them over near the restaurant in a cooler. The chicken salad is insanely good! At the end of the day it's all about the people. All the ladies I've run into behind the register are always very nice and display a positive attitude. That goes a long way with me. I can't really comment much on the amenities for truck drivers because I don't drive a truck. I do however see a lot of big rigs there so I assume things are decent. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try, by the way if you're looking for jerky they got a whole wall full of it.

This is one of the better truck stops we've come across. Clean showers, clean restrooms, laundry,…read moregood food options, plenty of shopping, and a full-service repair shop for semis all in one location. The decor and overall atmosphere give it a unique feel that sets it apart from the big chain stops. Paid parking usually means the facilities are a step above, and that's definitely the case here. The property is well maintained, and it shows. A couple of minor issues kept it from being perfect. One of the washers was out of service during our visit, and the large pothole at the second entrance needs attention. Other than that, this is a great place to stop for a reset, a shower, a meal, or an overnight break. We'd happily stop here again.
