    Welcome Area
    Kevin W.

    When road tripping in Tennessee, you cannot help but notice the nice looking rest stops. Madison was the one I had to stop at. The building it self is nicer then most rest stops in the states I have traveled in. Clean restrooms. Clean welcome area. No workers though. Quick and easy exiting and entering back onto the freeway.

    Nice place to make a pit stop. It was really clean and no graffiti on the walls. The place was so clean I couldn't believe it was a rest stop.

    This is officially the Madison County I-40 West Rest area & has a Yelp page accordingly but I saw…read morethis one & liked it a lot better! It is on the official "Music Highway" which is the stretch of highway between Memphis AND is on the Rufus Thomas Walking the Dog Trail, gotta love it!! This I-40 West Rest Area is located just outside Jackson, TN. This rest area has alot to offer while traveling. It offers: restrooms, parking, picnic tables, telephones, and pet exercise areas. It's clean, neatly landscaped and has easy access with clear markings with lots of parking for cars and trucks alike Bottom line: Having been a life long music but, a radio guy and a 20+ year Me Memphis resident this i-40 rest area gets my vote for coolest named stop in the world because it's THE Isaac Hayes, Tina Turner, Booker T. and the Mg's Rest Stop! Yes way cooler!!

    I have been so impressed with the rest stops during my road trip. When I began the road trip I…read morethought the rest stop areas were going to be awful and they have been just the opposite. This is another beautiful rest stop dedicated to Isaac Hayes, Tina Turner, and The MG's which is now on Yelp. Clean restrooms, maps, pictures and covered and uncovered picnic areas. The landscaping is well maintained, no pets allowed in the picnic area, vending and snack machines. Next, time you are traveling the I-40W Jackson, TN stop off at the mile marker 73 and rest. Welcome to Yelp.

    Travelling to Arkansas, Stop here first !!…read more On the way into Arkansas, across the river from Memphis TN, is the city of West Memphis. Just off the highway into Arkansas, off I-55 you will find the West Memphis Welcome Center. This center is staffed with friendly, knowledgable folks who are more than happy to guide you, set you up with travel info or just chat. This welcome center has all kinds of printed media to further enhance your Arkansas experience. This Welcome center also has restrooms, vending machines and seating outside for picnics or just to enjoy the weather. it is always once of my stops when I'm back in good 'ole Arkansas.

    Today is welcome center day as per my daughter. We visited 4…read morewelcome centers today in 3 states, so fun. Yes we had time to kill... And I wanted to add more states to my list of visiting places. Quality/Quantity - Welcome center number 1. So why is this welcome center named West Memphis rather than Arkansas...? Good size, beautiful location. Amazing amount of information, good thing we also have Google and Trip Advisor, lol. Atmosphere - Welcome center hours - Open 7 days a week from 9am to 5pm; Yelp's hours differs slightly. Restrooms open 24 hours. Clean bathrooms. Service - Okay, not as welcoming as the other 3 welcome centers we visited. And all 3 other centers gave us welcome gifts! First experience as we have never gotten gifts before, now we know to ask. Price - Free, thank you! Owner Comment - Thank you Arkansas since 1836 for this beautiful welcome center.
