The I-95 is the longest North-South interstate, and passes through 15 states and DC. It is 1,924 miles and runs from Maine to Florida. The attractions listed below are all within 15 miles of the interstate (most are within 2 or 3 miles), with the exception of the “Point of Interest!” stops which are up to 60 miles out, but are worth the longer detour. This list includes kosher restaurants as well- ask your LOR as to which certification agencies meet your standards.
We recommend checking opening hours for each attraction prior to visiting. We did not include basic attractions that are common in every city, such as escape rooms, laser tag/paintball/bowling, ice skating, and arcades- you can find these by doing a quick google search for a city that you plan to stop in.

Hi
We have a week vacation. Would like to spend most of it in Maine. Coming from northern NJ so want to split up the drive and do it in two days. Where can we stop on the way up north? And any suggestions where to stay. We hope to spend Shabbat in Portland with Chabad if possible.
