They also have a vending machine area and picnic tables and a walkway if you need to just walk around. All nice amenities just to walk around. The bathrooms are a bit old, but cleaner than you would think. It is mainly one way so its only for going West. If you need to go back Eastward, then you need to drive another 2.8 miles to the exit to go back. Nice to have, but could be better.

I've always wanted to stop at Sideling Hill. We were traveling east, and the stop is not as…read morefabulous as traveling west. The amenities are small with 2/5 toilets out of order. The rest center needed attention. There is a paved walkway over the highway to the westbound Welcome Center, but it is a steep uphill climb. I took the walk, and was treated to breath taking views of the road cut rock formation. A walkway leading up into the road cut was closed. There are also views of the valley below. The walk to the center and back takes about 30 minutes. I recommend the walk if you have the time and are fit. Sideling Hill is part of the Appalachian Mountains and is a syncline mountain. The layers of Carboniferous rock are interesting. Of course, I wanted to climb around and get a closer look at the rocks, but that was forbidden. On the east side plaza there is also a marker describing the Civil War trail that tracks through the region. The area has a lot of history starting with the geological formation through the Civil War. There is limited parking eastbound and a couple picnic tables in the shade. The center is an easy on and off the highway.i would recommend stopping on the westbound side if you have an option. I'd give the east bound amenities a 2, but the views a 4.

Travel Road Welcome…read moreCenter and rest stop located off Hwy 70 West. The Good: *Clean restrooms *Vending machines *Picnic tables *Big grassy fields for the fur babies and human kids to stretch their legs. *Brochures and tons of info about visiting the Commonwealth of PA (it's not technically a state fyi #todayilearned) The Meh: *Restrooms aren't very big. The men's room consisted of two urinals and two stalls; you know it's bad when there's a line to drop a deuce in the men's room. The Ugly: *Allegedly there's employees to greet you inside the "Welcome" Center, but they were too busy chit-chatting in the back to be bothered. TLDR: Great place to stop, stretch, and ease one's burdens.

I measure this as being the halfway point for me and usually take that as an opportunity to take a break. But, alas, I wasn't able to make the stop...until recently. They finished their update to what is basically a rest stop and I have to say they did it justice. I hope that means they will be doing the same thing to the one on the outbound side of I-70. It is a no frills stop, but a good place to get out and stretch you legs. They offer vending machines, restrooms, informational materials (including state maps), pet area and outdoor seating if you wanted to eat your food you may have brought with you. Easy off and on to the Interstate. A good place to empty your head before you continue on with your travel.

This service plaza is one of the more interesting ones as it contains a lot of Turnpike…read morememorabilia. Long before the Turnpike became a way for the state to extract money from travelers to pay for continuous "improvements" and to fund other non-Turnpike related agencies and items, it was a super highway allowing fast, safe travel across the commonwealth. The Midway plazas were unique because they were across from one another and there's a tunnel that runs under the road that joins them; this tunnel has long been closed to the public. Anyway, if you have time, it's fun to look at the pictures that adorn this plaza and also to check out the items in the gigantic display case that celebrate the creation and history of this road.

It is a nice area to just take a rest when you are out travelling. Use the facilities for relief. Vending machines available if you are in need of a snack. There are several picnic tables to sit and have a meal. Pet area as well for your fur baby if they need release. Seems that this place is much more lively at night due to the fact that truckers will use this as a true rest area. Easy off/on to the highway.

Shell was near 76 and I didn't feel like pulling off into a rest stop, so I pulled in. It was a fairly busy station -- I had a van hovering behind my car waiting for a tank -- but it was easy to pump the gas. Super easy merging back onto the road too. Please note that I am from South Jersey and I don't ever pump my own gas unless necessary; therefore, easy to figure out systems are nice. Also, I am from South Jersey so the largest mountain nearby is a garbage dump. Apologies if my fear of the mountainous terrain is unfounded!
