We’re hitting the Mother Road and sharing our Top 10 favorite family-friendly Route 66 stops we’ve visited so far — from weird roadside attractions and giant landmarks to hidden gems and unforgettable food stops. In this video, we first head to the brand-new starting point of U.S. Route 66 at Navy Pier in Chicago, then count down our favorite Route 66 experiences including Oatman, Blue Whale of Catoosa, Meteor Crater, Cadillac Ranch, and more.
From feeding wild donkeys in an old mining town to seeing giant roadside icons, exploring caves tied to Jesse James, and stopping at one of the most famous steak restaurants on Route 66, this road trip had something fun for the whole family. Come join us as we explore the Mother Road.
