alabama welcome center

Stopped when staying in Elkmont, lots of great info and brochures the staff is very friendly and helpful. The cardboard cutout astronauts photo opp was great as well as the huge Saturn 5 rocket. Fun stop.

You can't miss this rest stop because of the impressive Saturn 1B rocket which can be spotted from far away.Less impressive are the bathrooms which seem fairly old and not all that clean. (Well, these are public restrooms after all.) However, the Saturn 1B, the Korean War Memorial and the Vietnam War Memorial make this a good place to stop. Plus, the rest area provides spacious areas to picnic, stretch the legs and walk the dog. There are also vending machines where drinks can be purchased.
