The best advice I can offer here is to check out the “Sights” section of the website. Many of the most iconic attractions are listed there but of course everyone’s idea of a “must-see” is completely different. If you think that something should be added to the list then contact me. A lot of what Route 66 has to offer you’ll simply encounter as you travel. However, check out the “Sights” section for more specific information on particular museums or attractions.
Something to bear in mind of course is that a lot of the roadside attractions are just that - by the side of the road! Therefore the chances of missing The Gemini Giant, Tow Tater, The Blue Whale or The Big Texan are slim so long as you’re not driving with your eyes closed! Of course it helps to have an up-to-date map and guide book with you to make sure you are actually sticking to Route 66 and have advance warning of an upcoming attraction.
