14 Route 66 Attractions to See on Your Next Road Trip

Near Catoosa is the Catoosa Whale (2600 Historic Rte. 66), an example of a small-scale mom-and-pop roadside attraction. Restored by volunteers in 2002, it is a large whale-shaped structure that is painted blue and sits in a small pond. In its heyday, visitors could enter the whale's mouth and then slide down a chute, which exits behind the whale's ear, or dive off a small platform at the tail and into the surrounding swimming hole.
