Visited the Arizona Route 66 museum/visitor center in Kingman on our way to The Town of Oatman, AZ…read more The visitor center is on the 1st floor and offers a nice size gift shop with so many cool souvenirs. They also have nice clean bathrooms. The 2nd floor is the entrance to the Museum. The Museum was very informative about the history of Route 66 and Kingman. We also got to tour the electric vehicle museum. Admission was only $10 for adults. Unfortunately the day we went The Bonelli house was not open which is included in that price. It's a self tour and they also have an hour long movie about Route 66 and the boom and bust that happened. After visiting the shop and touring the museum we had a little picnic lunch outside before continuing our road trip. They had some clean picnic tables under an awning with some shade so we were able to enjoy our lunch outside instead of in our car which was nice! Great place to stop and take a break while visiting Arizona.

As we were leaving we didn't immediately notice that the museum was just above the Visitor Center. We went back inside LoL! General admission is $10/person but if you're a senior (60+) it's $6. The ticket can be used as a bookmark to remember your visit to Kingman AZ. The $10 ticket is good to see 3 places: The Mojave Museum (unfortunately was closed at the time), 'The Powerhouse' Route 66 Museum including the Historic Electric Vehicle Exhibit and The Bonelli House. Arizona Route 66 Museum ~ To summarize, the museum depicts the historical evolution of travel along the 35th parallel that became Route 66. We viewed vintage artifacts, dioramas, murals, photographs, and more that took us on a journey from a pre-Route 66 America to the present and, well, everything in between. Informative museum! Route 66 Electric Vehicle Museum ~ Why is there a Tesla in here?? Well, I did not know that they made Tesla's then. There is a 2008 Tesla Roadster "The Simo" on the exhibit floor. Elon Musk launched a Roadster into space carried by a Falcon Heavy rocket in a test flight on February 6, 2018. Route 66 Drive-Thru Shield ~ We drove through this roadside attraction that allowed cars to drive a loop and go under and through the classic Route 66 shield. Pretty cool! Review #3696

I just got a place out here and even after visiting Bullhead City, Laughlin, and the Colorado River for 30 years, I learned SO much at the museum. It is free (suggested, zero-pressure $3 donation) and they have a little gift shop with cool BHC and Colorado River items, all very fairly priced. See the old school house too!

There's exhibits about Native Americans, gems, mining, desert animals, etc. Pretty much anything in history that happened in that area. My daughters' favorite part was the hands-on table, where you could use different types of antique phones! Definitely a worthwhile visit, especially because your ticket gets you into other places as well. The ladies at the front desk were super nice and explained that I could keep the receipt and even use it another day, or give it to someone else to use. Later my husband arrived, and they just let him in for free! We made sure to buy something at the gift shop to support them. They had little bags for $6.50 that you could fill with gems of your choice.

There are a few small antique railroad artifacts scattered around the two rooms but by far the majority of the floor space is dedicated to model trains. Clearly, this is an extensive collection of model trains in many different scales but it is not truly a history museums. If you enjoy modeling this could be fun. If you are looking for history there is very little here.

He was just going to take us in for free! There was no guided tour. He just gave us a brief background on the family that used to live in it, and he told us to look around ourselves. He was available for questions if we wanted. He was very knowledgeable. He seemed eager to go home... We arrived a few minutes before 2:30, thinking that 2:30 was the last guided tour, and he said they were about to close. At 2:51 or something like that, he locked up right behind us, even though there were still a few minutes for someone else to walk in and look around quickly if they wanted to. I always have a pet peeve of employees locking up or cleaning up early, because sometimes I'm that person who comes in hoping I can look around for 5 minutes! Overall, the house was definitely a nice thing to see for free. Fun to see the old artifacts, but it would have been nice to have that guided tour we were expecting. Even my 5-year-old enjoyed walking around looking at the old things!
