About

Route 66 Park is a cool, historic stopover that is best known for its ice cream shop. While it offers some nice photo ops and a walking path, many visitors feel it is poorly maintained and could use more substance. It is a fun quick stop if you are in the area, but perhaps not worth a long drive on its own.
