The Biloxi Visitors Center is located in a beautiful building that has some architectural features of a mansion from the Antebellum period. The staff are very friendly and there are many brochures and flyers available offering information on nearby attractions, restaurants and shops. At the rear of the building is a small, but informative museum documenting the history of Biloxi and the various groups that have contributed to the city over the years. This is a good first stop for any tourists who are planning on spending time in the area.

What a nicely maintained and patrolled visitors center! Also very friendly and alert security. Clean grounds and restrooms! Pua my piggy traveling companion loved grazing in the grass! I have been to other rest areas in upper Mississippi...they too are great. From my travels, Mississippi has some of the best maintained, staffed and scenic rest stops of all the southern states! Even Texas ha!
4. L & N Historic Train Depot

The beautiful Bay St. Louis train depot, built in 1928, houses the visitors center, where visitors can get information about businesses and attractions in the Bay St. Louis area, the Mardi Gras Museum, featuring beautiful Mardi Gras costumes and the Alice Moseley Folk Art and Antique Museum. The depot itself is set in a park like setting featuring many Live Oak trees, picnic tables, benches, and a walking path. Duck food can be purchased in the visitor center and many ducks and geese are waiting to be fed at the duck pond on the depot grounds. There is a lot to do and enjoy at the depot and to learn the history of this building and of the difficulties experienced in earlier times maintaining a railroad across the nearby Honey Island Swamp. The Alice Moseley Museum is an entertainment venue as much as it is a Museum and visitors to see Miss Alice usually leave the Museum with a smile on their face and a love of Alice Moseley in their hearts.

We rented the art gallery for a bridal shower and it was perfect!! The staff was an amazing help and very accommodating! All the guests complimented what a beautiful place the Audubon Center was, a tucked away gem in Moss Point! The facilities were very clean and all of the table/chairs were set up prior to our event. Would definitely recommend using their Center for any event in the future!

The welcome centre has pamphlets for a wide variety of attractions across St. Petersburg and surrounding area. Probably the best thing about the welcome centre is the great local volunteers who staff the centre. They will provide a vast amount of information about places of interest that may not be advertised. The volunteers are all very friendly and helpful. It is open based on volunteer availability so check the posted hours.
