Heading south on I-95 for vacation in Massachusetts, I stopped at the Maria Miles Visitor Information Center for some travel material. The travel info section of the rest stop was operated by North of Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, so most of the travel literature was that area that included Newburyport, Salisbury, Amesbury, Beverly, and others, plus Cape Ann communities, such as Essex, Gloucester, Rockport, etc. Although my vacation wasn’t to be in those places, I took some literature for future use on daytrips to those areas. There were also a few pamphlets on other regions in Massachusetts. The woman on the desk was very helpful. She directed me to another visitor center off Rt. 3 in Plymouth, MA where my friend and I were headed later in the upcoming week. That visitor center had info on Southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod. I did use the restroom. It was clean. I rate my experience here at 4.50 and highly recommend stopping here for travel info on the North of Boston Region. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.See more..
1.0Greenfield/Upper Pioneer Valley Visitor Information Center(1 review) - Taxpayer frustration in more ways than one Monday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Visitor Centers If you're on I-91 heading south into Massachusetts and urgently need a rest stop! Don't rely on the state's first rest area to be very convenient or helpful. Signs on the highway direct you to take exit 26 for a rest area and visitor information. The exit ramp places you smack onto a traffic circle awash with plenty of signs to read, but nothing indicating where to find the rest area. Instead, the state uses blue signs with one big question mark (?) on them which you are left to interpret as 'rest stop - visitor information.' But to save money, they've attached these question mark signs to the legs of other signs that have arrows indicating the direction to go. For example, a Park-Ride sign with an arrow pointing to the left has, attached to its leg, a question mark. If you travel three quarters of the way around the traffic circle and look down Rt. 2A, you'll see the rest area signs spelled out once again. The rest area is located behind an Applebee's restaurant. It would have been very convenient if the signs up on the highway featured the M-F, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM hours of operation on them. Instead I parked in an empty lot, approached the building and pulled on the locked doors only then to discover that the facilities are closed on weekends. This was not very convenient. As for myself, I found other facilities, but for those visitors who may not have time for another option, there are several large shrubs surrounding the building and some privacy in the back. For visitors to my home state, seeking travel information, if you're there during normal hours of operation, just remember that this facility doubles as a Registry of Motor Vehicles which aren't really famous for their friendliness or efficiency. For a more accessible and clean public restroom experience, exit the traffic circle and go west on Rt. 2. Stop at the Big Y supermarket just beyond the circle. Welcome to Massachusetts!See more..
