This quirky Route 66 icon was named one of the Top 50 Roadside Attractions in America by Time Magazine in July 2010. A must-stop photo op along Route 66 just outside of Tulsa. Read more

This giant blue whale built by a local zoologist has become a roadside icon for travelers on Route 66. This guy won't swallow you whole, climb aboard and also get a fridge magnet at the local store.

Try the tamales , if the little stand is open. Also, don't miss the little mushrooms behind the ark.

Neat place to stop and stretch. Lot of turtles swimming around the whale.
