Oklahoma has the longest stretch of Route 66 in the country (over 400 miles) and while the road is a little piecemeal in some places where interstates are paved over old sections of the highway, it’s much more intact than in other states.

Here Are My Favorite Oklahoma Route 66 Attractions

Blue Whale (Catoosa, OK)

The Blue Whale is probably the most iconic attraction on Route 66 in Oklahoma. Sitting on a little lake in Catoosa, the whale was completed in 1972 and almost instantly became a beloved family attraction where children could jump off the whale and swim and fish in the pond. Learn more

Totem Pole Park (Foyil, OK)

This is another DON’T MISS for me on Route 66. It’s as “roadside attraction” as they come. It’s located a few miles off Route 66 so you’ll have to seek it out, but it’s worth the detour. Learn more

Round Barn (Arcadia, OK)

Built by a local farmer way back in 1898, the Round Barn (yes, it’s actually a round barn) is one of the most popular roadside attractions on Oklahoma’s Route 66. Learn more

Oklahoma Route 66 Museum (Clinton, OK)

Oklahoma’s official museum pertaining to all things Route 66 is extremely well done and really conveys the spirit and culture of traveling Route 66 throughout the decades. Learn more

Sandhills Curiosity Shop: Erick, OK

Here’s what you need to know: the Sandhills Curiosity Shop isn’t really a shop (there’s nothing to buy), it’s more like a little mini-museum of Harley’s life long Route 66-centric collections. And Harley is the show. Learn more
