Florida Welcome Center, Florida, United States
4.5 (23 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #1 in Jennings Visitor Centers
Great place to stop before continuing into FL
Every time we re-enter FL, we hope we can go into the Welcome Center to sample the OJ and see their latest promotion. It's open until 5PM, and we arrived at 4:30. This time the promotion was Capt. Citrus joining the Avengers in a comic book. Capt. Citrus also had wrist bands, bandaids, and a word puzzle sheet. As usual, lots of brochures and maps were inside, available for us adults, as well as the opportunity to purchase a Sun Pass to save on tolls. In addition to the yellow dolphin out front, their is a place inside to pose with an astronaut. We saw families taking advantage of these photo opportunities. The bathrooms are outside, open 24/7, on both sides of the welcome center. Last time we were here, 2 months ago, soap was only in every third dispenser. This time, they were all full. Also outside are more maps and informational brochures. The area is landscaped beautifully, so take time to walk around.

Not very busy in November
We stopped here on our way down to Fort Myers. We had also stopped here at the end of December in 2019; by comparison, it was like a ghost town. No crowding, people wearing masks to go into the restrooms, and no smokers standing around. The Welcome Center and bathrooms were very clean, as were the grounds. It was just a very pleasant experience.

A real Welcome.....
We've stopped here for years when entering Fla. , and always find it a joy (not in small part because after a 12/14 hr drive, stopping here means we're down to the home stretch,and only have a few hours of driving left). The facility is clean and well-maintained (as are the restrooms). The staff are usually friendly, and always helpful. There is a wealth of information from which to choose; no matter where in Florida one is heading. (This time we came across info regarding the Stetson Mansion in DeLand; which we ended up visiting and being thoroughly impressed.) One can also enjoy a complimentary glass of orange juice. A great place to stop-in, stretch one's legs, and begin the Florida experience.
