Reviews of Mason Dixon Welcome Center
Really cool building. They have tons of brochures if you're looking for activities to do in Maryland. There are also some neat and interesting display inside.
Nice, clean, and handicap accessible. I can really say much more about it. I usually only stop for bathroom visits. As usual for most of the welcome centers, it's almost always a slight uphill to enter, which is a PITA is you have mobile issues (like me) and it's probably a real problem if you are in a wheelchair. I never interacted with the staff there ut they look to be nice from a distance.
This is a large rest area with lots of parking, clean and roomy restrooms and a welcome center. They also have family restrooms available.
Absolutely beautiful. We were there in the winter and was spectacular
Nice and quiet rest area with nice surroundings to rest , also kids play area and bathrooms are clean.
Bathrooms are always super clean no matter the time of day...give that man a raise...
Good place, but the bathrooms could be a bit cleaner.
Nice little rest area with some great views of the valley and mountains. This was a great little stop before heading into the DC area for a picnic lunch.
Lovely Gateway to Maryland.
I went inside and had a nice chat with walking encyclopedias Fred and Melody about the region, the attractions ans even planned a quick visit about with what little time I had to spare.
Absolutely lovely. This should be a mandatory stop coming into MD from PA.
Great place to do a bus tour. I found that out when I checked in for the tour. To find out I was at the wrong place. She directed me to the right place down the road.
This was a beautiful place to stop. There was a great playground for the kids surrounded by a beautiful grassy area with covered picnic tables. The center was closed when we arrived but they were considerate and placed various vending machines outside.
This is a great stop between Maryland and Pennsylvania. The facilities are clean and safe. We have parked with the big rigs several times as a stop over on our way between locations.
Great place to stop and stretch your legs and maybe a restroom break.
It's always open, clean, and sparsely populated. There's a playground for kids and pups to get that pent up energy out, too!
Helpful friendly staff but not the location of the Mason Dixon line, haha. Clean restrooms. Beautiful overlook!
Easy parking near the restroom doors. Plenty of facilities. Great play area for kids.
Spend a couple hours here resting and it was clean quiet and nicely manicured. Also it felt safe.
Extremely clean and well maintained restroom. Great parking and picnic style areas. The best place to stop on rt.15
Nice staff provided me with a map with printed directions to my destination.
Five stars super calm stop with PLAYGROUND
It,s ok nothing spectacular place to park and thankful for it.
Lots of informational pamphlets and friendly staff who will gladly chat with you! Clean, well lit bathrooms.
It's a good place to stop after getting out of the DC traffic. Get your legs stretched and washed up before continuing your trip.
Very clean and more then enough parking for about 30 tractor-trailers
This was a nice rest area, clean quiet and the people seem to be respectful. However the facilities themselves seem like cold like it was a prison in another life. Large and Grey brick painted white. This is the only reason for the 4 stars.
Very welcoming employees or volunteers who were there when we stopped. They have a TON of guides for travel there. I picked up at least 25 books and found so many things that I now have an even longer list of places I would like to see.
Convenient place to take a break from driving on Rt. 15
It's kept clean and there is vending and restrooms that are accessible at all times. The restrooms are large and everything is in good working order. The welcome center area is open 9-5
I drive a truck and this welcome center is one of my favorite places to take my 10 hours off. Clean restrooms and full vending machines.
Very clean bathrooms! Welcome center was not open due to Covid protocols. Good place to stretch your legs and take a break! A nice pet area as well.
Dog friendly. Clean. quick in and out.
Great safety break and plenty of information available to help you plan your visit. Clean restrooms. nice grounds for walking around for you and your pets!
The gentleman that worked there on 08-09-2021 was very kind and helpful. He really knew his history, routes and places. He offered so much helpful information. I would've liked to talk with him all day if I had the time.
Stopped here very late Saturday night for a pit stop. Urinals don't flush and it wasn't pleasant. Nuff' said.
Well maintained, clean HUGE restrooms. Nice areas for picnicing and dog walking. I wish all rest areas were this well designed and maintained. Only negative, it is only open from 9AM to 5 PM.
Super clean facilities. Its really nice to see employees that take care of the place like it was the rest room at their own house. Thank you
A perfect rest stop, caring staff and so many leaflets to check out. Bathrooms immaculate
Thank you Maryland
It's a welcome center and in all reality you stopped here to use the restroom and stretch your legs. Place was clean and well kept, but the strangest part (coming from New York anyway) is how nice the actual building and premise was. 5 stars for once again making me wonder where all my taxes are going to.
This is one of the nicest rest stops I've been to in the North East. Super friendly staff (Fred and Melody on 8/20/16). Great play area for kids and shaded picnic area. Very modern and clean bathrooms.
I remember the days when budgets closed the info center. So glad it's refunded. Hope it stays!
Super super clean bathroom! Showers were super clean! Toilets flushed, garbage cans were empty, stalls had toilet paper an soap to wash ur hands!
Nice, clean. big truck accessable.
What a beautiful stop! Clean facilities, a beautiful pond & a nice large playground
So I was on my way down to North Carolina with my girlfriend for a vacation for 5 days down there. We decided to stop here for a quick rest and ended up getting a geocache that was in the immediate area. This place is pretty nice well kept very clean. I would definitely stop here again if I ever make my way back down here.
The bathrooms were very clean and the urinals were all flushing really well.
I looked in the stalls and there was toilet paper in all of them!
It has a pay phone that actually works. Lol.
They were so informative, when I stopped there I was on my way to moving to wilmington. I was with my dog alone, the place had not quite opened yet but they me in early for an absolute emergency bathroom stop. They gave me water, treats and a ball for my dog and they they gave me a bunch of pamphlets about my new town and state. Super nice lady at the front.
They should put up a sign that says "Last Clean Rest Stop for 40K miles." because you'd have to circumnavigate the globe to find a better cleaner toilet.
Nice rest stop for a break. Plenty of rest room space
Nothing much to get excited about. Everything was closed except the bathrooms. Those are sort of older and while they function they are not in the greatest of shape.
Staff was kind and offered suggestions. Bathrooms were clean.
This is a very nice welcome center with lots of great info. The staff are very nice and helpful. Restrooms are clean. Be aware it is only open until 5pm. This location also has vending. Great views and lots of parking.
Maybe this is the best rest area in the east cost
Loved it! So much to see.
Nice quick rest stop. Wonderful Landscaping all around. They have anise and lemon balm growing. Makes for a fragrant travel break on a hot day!
Clean and spacious with lots of parking.
We experienced a great friendly reception. It was just like meeting old friends and chatting rather a formal transaction. We were given great advice for our trip and left feeling very upbeat. Thank you.

Much needed break driving.
Awesome rest area. Nice and clean and I felt safe.
We stopped at every welcome center from Florida to New York! The staff were so friendly and helpful! They even have us a free postcard to put in our memory book! There is always a geocache at almost every rest stop and welcome center on the grounds. There's always information about the State and plenty of pamphlets available for lodging, restaurants, and attractions. Most have a book of coupons in which offer savings on hotels, food, and local attractions. I also love that there's a big State sign at all the centers in which is set up for you to take photos of or with it! All are different and alot of fun!
Lovely view. Clean restrooms and the guy in the information center was very helpful
Not as clean as other rest areas. Bathrooms STINK!
A really nice place to stop and rest. I was happy to see the clean faculities and the walking area.
Nice place to stretch your legs. Even has a playground and walking path. Bathrooms are well kept. Not the typical rest area. Very nice.
Nicest visitor center that my family has ever encountered. Beautiful inside with extremely friendly staff. Worth stopping even if you don't need to utilize the "normal rest stop facilities.
Always a welcoming place!
Its a nice welcome center. Bathrooms are nice and clean. It was wheelchair accessible. Very welcoming!
Finally it looks like they’re getting this place back opened up even with the pandemic going on. I’m glad to see that re-opening nice visitor center. Their hours seem to be sporadic but I think it’s because of the pandemic.
Much needed stop as you're entering MD. Very clean and big too. Only really convenient if you're going south though as it's on the southbound side, but still accessible via a few U-turns if you're going North.
This was a fun place to stop and stretch the legs for a few minutes. This is no ordinary rest stop. There is a small museum/tourism shop (you know the ones with all the pamphlets... they had about a million), with an attendant that was very knowledgeable and helped guide me on my journey.
If you are looking to see lots of things about the Mason Dixon expediion or a sign of the line, this is not the place for you. What I mean is, if you are passing by, stop, but do not go out of your way to travel to this destination. There is a sign in the median of the interstate a bit north of this location, near the state line, that says "Mason Dixon Line".
A spacious and welcoming rest area. Helpful staff and a great introduction to renowned southern hospitality!
Pretty clean bathroom. Lots of stalls. Nice playground for kids and lots of picnic tables. Only open until 5 though.
Clean and informative welcome center!
Always very clean, a nice area to chill, allow the kids to run around , small play areas.
Wrong time frame!
Last year...I was there.
A very nice facility to rest and recover from driver fatigue. All newly renovated.
Wish there was a better welcome sign!
Very clean bathrooms!
Very well taken care of rest area. A nice stop in our long drive to stretch your legs and use a restroom.
Large restrooms, clean, some vending machines, play area for kids, can walk your dog, nice visitor building. Wish it was open on weekends.
Very clean and very helpful. Love the "along the curb" RV parking. Would be better if cars would not take up these RV only spots.
Very clean and neat I was impressed with it. Had a cute playground to keep kids happy. View was spectacular it was a great place to walk.
It was fairly clean.
Fred was so friendly. Beautiful stop to stretch your legs. Made me definitely want to check out some parts of Maryland I didn't even know about.
This is one of the best welcome centers I've ever been to. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. It's a shame we were only passing through. It's also a shame they're considering closing the place. Oh well.
Clean and felt safe
Would get 5 stars if it had electric vehicle fast charging!
Very clean and well maintained. Lots of informational brochures, and beautiful scenery. Staff is extremely friendly.
Very clean. Nice area to rest between travelling. Shaded areas to walk off tired legs between cities.
Clean and felt very safe. Plenty of vending options and at great prices!
Very clean, big , spacious
Great rest stop just remember if your looking for info .The information side closes at 5 pm .Very clean restrooms and well taken care of outside .
Clean facility, baby changing tables in both bathrooms, and a park for the kids to play for a few minutes. We saw several picnic tables as well as a dog area.
Very clean restrooms, nice play area for kids and plenty of picnic tables.
Very clean facility
This was a nice place to stop with the dog. They have a nice walking area for dogs and the bathrooms are huge and clean.
Nice rest area. No restaurant has clean restrooms and soda machines.😊 …
Hey very nice rest area, but it loses a star because it is only open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Nice place... Beware though. They have set hours of operation. Not like most rest areas I know of.
The restrooms were very clean. The visitor center staff were very nice and assisted us with appropriate travel materials.
It's nice, well kept. But only open until 5 pm, not much good to a lot of travelers, that's maryland for you.
Fabulous
Neat and large restrooms and very helpful welcome staff. Great place to stop on MD
One of the best rest stops around. Easy access going south bound on Highway 15. North bound you have to cross the highway.
They have a very helpful guy behind the counter. I seen him give another person Maps free. He told me where I could find a restaurant close by.
Nice and informative staff however their hours are kind of short. And they will lock you in if you stay after 5:00 pm
It was ok for a rest stop but restrooms aren't 24/7 they lock them up around 5 or 6 pm
Great bathrooms, clean minimal truck parking, nice layout. 6 ingress portalsin a great arrangement.

Wow. That's an unexpected pleasure. A great facility that gets a trickle of visitors.
They need to stay open longer. Don't spend $10,000,000+ building a rest stop then don't have the money to keep it open. What a joke!
Love that MD added this rest area on Rt 15.very clean
