I really can't believe I'm reviewing a rest stop on the side of the interstate, but holy moly this…read moreone deserved some love. We visit a LOT of rest stops (no jokes about certain peoples' bladders) and I have never ever ever been to one as fancy as this one. As you enter Indiana from Illinois, you're coming into the state known for the Indianapolis 500 and this is a rest stop that celebrates that fact. From the pagoda at the entry to the interactive history 'tables' that allow you to see/play/learn more about the sport of INDYCAR racing, to the helmets, cars and beyond, this stop is all things racing. And it's new, clean and has great facilities. So if you're on 70 heading east, skip the gas stations and fast food places and stop at this welcome center. You'll be glad you did! Just know you're going to spend a few extra minutes looking around because it's not a place to run in and out and hit the road again!

Blue Star Highways are a tribute to the Nations armed forces who served in World War II. There are nice flowers and it is attended to by the Garden Club of Illinois. Plenty of signs and in particular one says Illinois remembers POWs and MIAs. Very evident that, at least in concept, the sacrifices that servicemen and women make are important in the state of Illinois. However, in the past week our Nation has lost a number of lives as our military withdraws from Afghanistan. In fact it's been one of the largest single losses of service lives in many years. While this is a nicely manicured clean rest area, someone has neglected to lower the flag to half staff, a point which I brought up to a worker, extremely politely and respectfully, here at this rest area. It is this reason, this in attention to an extraordinarily important and significant detail, that I extend a one star rating to this otherwise very nice rest area. (Photos of the flag staff included with this review).

This stop had clean bathroom facilities, and I liked the covered picnic area in particular. We ended up eating our lunch here before getting back on the road. The covered picnic area also has places to grill out. It was great to just let our son run -- our "get the wiggles out" -- in this green space. We'll definitely stop here again.

There is a huge parking lot for cars and a separate parking area for trucks. [Review 17197 overall - 37 in Indiana - 714 of 2022.]

The entrance, parking lot and exit is jacked up. It's the worse situation I've ever seen. The parking lot, curbs and landscaping are in very rough condition.

I had to make a split second decision as my light went off to indicate I was out of gas, and rather than put myself in harms way on the shoulder, I coasted into the rest area. It was late on Sunday night and I was racking my brain, when a friend reminded me that I might have roadside assistance through my insurance. Sure enough, I was able to have gas brought to me and gave them the exact location and mile marker, as listed inside the stop. Dated, but warm with a payphone, vending machines and relatively clean bathrooms. Within the hour I was back in business and closer to a gas station than I realized. I'm very thankful to have had the saving grace that was looking out for me that night!
