7 of the Quirkiest Road Stops in the U.S.

2024 is a big year for this roadside trucking mecca, which is celebrating its 60th year in operation.

Over those six decades, the Iowa 80 Truckstop has earned its reputation as the "World's Largest Truckstop," and for good reason — there are over 900 parking spots for trucks alone. Truckers can venture inside the truck stop — located alongside Interstate 80 in the town of Walcott, just a few miles west of the Iowa-Illinois border — and take advantage of a wide array of unexpected amenities. They range from dentistry to laundry, an in-house chiropractor, a barber, and even a movie theater. But you don't have to be a professional long-hauler in order to visit. The Iowa 80 Truckstop serves 5,000 customers a day from all walks of life. Grab a bite at the family-owned Iowa 80 Kitchen or buy some merchandise at the expansive gift shop to commemorate your visit.
