Illinois Transportation Rest Area

Staffed visitor information center. Playground for the kiddies, picnic tables, and green area to stretch those legs. Also convenient emergency booths located around the rest area for additional safety. Loved the gentleman who helped us at the visitor center he was helpful and so happy you couldn’t help but smile.

Oasis along the highway. Playground, grass, trails, picnic tables. Clean restrooms and free maps. Photo op with Honest Abe. Also, props to extremely kind and helpful staff who assisted with emergency situation!

These are great rest areas. Allows a family to eat outside under shade and places to play. Bathrooms are nice and has vending machines. Oklahoma doesn't have rest areas like this so it is really a nice place to stop when you need a break from travelling!!!

This place was incredibly clean, I had to stop here for a bathroom trip and it was not like your typical off highway bathrooms that where horrendously gross. They really pay attention to detail and make sure every nook and cranny is clean and that it smells good too. I felt safe here at all times as well and my friends and I even stopped to get pictures because of how excited we where to be on a trip together!
