You need not feel like a Goober to visit. Good photo ops. Covered picnic area. There was a slight gnat issue that cut our visit short. Good place to stop and stretch if traveling through Southern Georgia.

It's a pretty big peanut! You can drive right up to it and have a little picnic under its shadow...we loved it!

Easy to spot from I-75, but a little trickier to get to once you get off. Has a shaded picnic area and is much bigger than it first appears.

Decided to make the World's Largest Peanut Monument a stop on our family's sojourn to Florida, and glad we did! We had a little trouble identifying the access road that leads to the monument because it was a little overgrown and not marked. But we did find it after a quick turnaround in an apartment complex. To make it easier for others, I recorded the GPS coordinates: N 31 42.383 W 83 38.130

You can see it from I-75; take Ashburn exit. The World's Largest Peanut is a great place to stop and stretch your legs on a road trip. Easy to find and a well maintained area; includes a shaded picnic table area.
