Virginia Welcome Center at Bracey — Attraction in Norlina

Restrooms were clean and stocked, the play area was a good place to stretch kid legs, and there was plenty of parking. Downside: Several of the vending machines were out of service, so the working ones didn't have the selection that would have been most helpful for a tired driver. There were some cords taped to the floor which seemed rather unsafe but looked as if they had been there a while. No paper towels as an option, and electric dryers were not sensor activated, creating the need to touch something after washing or leave dripping.

5☆ We feel this place was pretty cool.. Everything seem to be laid out pretty good and easily to find. I guess a lot of people stop in for the Va. sign as we did.. We took pictures outside.b We were lucky because there were hardly any people.. Lol.. But I have to say that the layout of it was pretty good with the refreshments, the bathroom, his and hers, vending, and even some history inside with the peanut machine... That was something I didn't expect.. ;-). That, nor the room with all the information about Virginia. In final, the guy working was excellent with us.. He was very informative and told us lots of neat stuff and things to do while we visited VA. We had a very good experience here.......
