Me and my son drove 3 hours just to visit SOB. I had been there one time before back in the 80′s. I had always wanted to come back. My son was on vacation so we came up and it got to late to drive back home so we stayed at the South of the border motor inn. A nice place to stay. We will be back again real soon.

I hope to come down one of these days and go up in the Sombrero Tower. It sounds like fun to see just about everything that South of the Border has to offer. It is a great place to stay and I stayed there once on my way down to Florida back in 1980. South of the Border has everything to offer a tourist like me. I have stopped there on way back from Florida back in 1983. It was a great experience to stop at South of the Border.

Hi! Does the observation tower close? I am driving through in April and I’d like to go up, but we won’t be arriving until late, probably after 8pm. Will we still be able to get up?

We are RVers and we stop by South of The Border all the time, and with the wmprovements being done it really makes your stay more enjoyable, The Camp ground is superb and with the AARP discount I can’t see why anyone would stay anywhere else. The motorcross park is very cool and I see the train is back in service for rides arouns the park. Thanks to the Grandson who too a family tradition to american fun and has brought it back to life once again.

[...] and several hurricanes had gone through the area recently. I was hoping to go to the top of the Sombrero Tower, but it was closed. I did go into one of the numerous shops and got some souvenirs. Cups, t-shirts [...]

As a child growing up in Dillon County we would visit South of the Border probably more often than most. Whenever we had family come into town this was top priority to come and visit. You can see our farm from the top of the hat! I am very glad to see all the progress and renovations going on! I was very concerned after Patti (who is also my cousin) passed. I don’t have too many contacts their anymore to keep me updated with things going on but it looks like everything is wonderful! Can’t wait to visit soon!
