Nice Local Diversion
The California Route 66 Museum is an Interactive museum with over 4500 Sq. Ft. of floor space and photo opportunities for the visitors to share memories in such settings as a 50’s diner, our VW Love Bus complete with hippy wigs and sunglasses for that perfect shot. You can jump up onto the 1917 Model T Ford and any one of our docents would be glad to take a picture of you and your party. We have the first Santa Monica “End of the Trails” booth that is becoming quite popular with visitors. And for those with a good sense of humor, we have an “Outhouse” built just for that photo. You will find our staff to be very friendly and informative about the road and many roadside attractions. We also have a good deal of Free handouts having to do with Route 66. A library and gift shop full of Route 66 Merchandise with DVD’s and books about the road.

Nice museum and free!
Initially reluctant to stop here as the area of town is not the best however we're so glad that we did! It's a lovely little museum which is packed with unique memorabilia from Route 66. The staff are friendly, knowledgable and passionate about the route and museum. We got a personal guided tour from Lou who was fantastic! We also got out photos taken on/in some of the exhibits. The museum is free but there is a donation box and gift shop to help with funding but absolutely no pressure to spend.

Great Little Museum
We've done the Vegas to LA drive a few times, and we were looking for something to break up the drive a bit - and thought we'd pay this museum a visit, with little idea of what to expect. As it turns out, it was a great little detour (it's very close to the freeway). The museum was fun, with some nice exhibits. The volunteers were extremely friendly and I enjoyed chatting to them. I would definitely recommend a visit - but do check the opening hours in advance. The museum is operated by volunteers, and is not open every day.
