information booth

Where questions answered

An information booth is a staffed counter or kiosk where visitors can ask questions and get directions, maps, or guidance.

Common in airports, train stations, shopping malls, and tourist areas: We stopped at the information booth to ask about the parade route.

The booth implies a person rather than a digital display.
