Praise The Lord, we’re finally in Missouri; we didn’t see a single rest area the entire time we were in Kansas(and we drove through Kansas for a LONG time). There is ample parking for both cars and trucks. The central building houses clean restrooms with both towel dispensers and hand dryers. The women’s restroom even has a diaper changing station that folds down from the wall. There are water fountains inside and drink and snack vending machines(two of each) outside. They even have separate cans for recyclable aluminum cans next to the trash cans. There is plenty of grass on which you may walk around, enjoy a picnic, or let your pet stretch their legs. There are benches conveniently located under shady trees and plenty of picnic tables — some under shade structures — to help you take a break from a long drive up I35. There were families visiting at the tables, truckers grabbing a drink and a snack at the vending machines! And even a man walking his two dogs in the grass. At the Southern end of the rest area, just on the other side of a fence, were a group of cows enjoying the shady area under a tree. I know I enjoyed a few minutes watching them before heading back out on the road

A clean and nice rest stop with the following amenities: Restrooms, Pay Phones, Picnic Tables, Vending Machines, Newspapers, Pet Area, ADA Accessible, and Maps available. Not as fancy as the rest stop we visited in Eagleville but still a nice place to take a break after a long drive.
