This one is easy to miss, especially since there is a large helicopter and a large stone monument welcoming you to Alabama that are much larger on the property. This peanut is only 3-4 ft. tall and sitting on the ground in the car parking lot. Easy off from the highway and definitely worth the stop, but I'm basing that on the full experience (peanut, monument, helicopter, and, of course, bathrooms).

Giant peanut in front of the Alabama rest area. First rest area over the Florida/Alabama line on US 231 heading north towards Dothan.
