So, you're hitting up I-95, one of America's oldest highways, and wanna know what to do and see along the way. You've come to the right place, my friend! I-95 is the main highway that travels up and down the East Coast of America, pretty parallel to the Atlantic Ocean, so you're never really too far away from the beach on an I-95 road trip. Some of the major cities you'll pass through include Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Richmond, Savannah, Jacksonville, and Miami. Ready to hit the road? Here's some of the top attractions to see along I-95, from Florida to Maine.
14 Campbell Street, Patchogue, New York, United States
Then, just 20 minutes later you'll come to the World's Largest Lightbulb in Iselin. It's got that fun, kitschy roadside attraction quality to it, and makes for a pretty cool photo-op. A guided tour will only set you back $5.
Like Delaware, I-95 doesn't spend a ton of time in New Jersey, but it's at least worth getting out of the car here at a place like the Bamboo Forest in New Brunswick. It's pretty close to the highway and is a really pretty place to walk around and get out of the car for a spell.
Just 3 short miles north of Wilmington, Delaware is Brandywine Creek State Park. There are cool-looking 19th century stone walls that divide the park up. Don't miss the tulip poplar forest and nature center when you visit! You aren't in Delaware for very long while on the interstate, so hop out and show the state some love.
Hands down, one of the best gardens in all of America is just off I-95. It's called Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. You won't be disappointed with a quick trip and it's worth visiting basically any time of year. Pro tip: use the potty. The crazy curved wall of bathrooms was nominated for 2014 restroom of the year!
Next up along I-95 is the beautiful state of Maryland! There's a pretty trippy statue at National Harbor in Maryland called The Awakening. It looks like a massive giant is trying to come out of the ground. Very cool photo op.
95 ends at the Houlton–Woodstock Border Crossing, and the road continues on into Canada, where you can cross the border into New Brunswick. And there you have it! Pat yourself on the back, because you just visited all of the major attractions along I-95!
