For road-weary travelers, there’s no sight more welcome than that little green sign along the Interstate that announces an upcoming rest stop. Here’s a rest stop that’s far from ordinary, and the next time you pass you might want to take a break here.

When you've been traveling outside the state, and you're finally headed back home, there's no more sign you'd rather see than this one. Ahh... feels good to be back, doesn't it?

Most rest areas offer dim-lit little buildings, sketchy restrooms, and one or two picnic tables. The Delaware Welcome Center takes everything you thought you knew about rest stops and turns it on its head.
