Route 66 State Park 97 North Outer Road, Eureka, MO 63025

"This is a peaceful park to walk or ride your bike. We also enjoy just driving through on a sunny, breezy day."

"Friendly staff and very knowledgeable. Extremely helpful guiding visitors through the history of the national hi-way and discovering fun places along the route."

"This was our final stop along Route 66 as we headed across country. We went into this Visitor's Center blind as to what it signified. The staff (Jan) was extremely knowledgeable and discussed the history of Times Beach, its unfortunate demise, and the future of the Route 66 bridge. The Visitor's Center has a very large gift shop of Route 66 memorabilia, a nice museum and 3D model of Times Beach, and clean bathrooms. This is a great place to see a piece of Route 66 history from a local perspective (vice the Route itself). Outside the Visitor's Center is an original neon sign from the Key Cafe and a fee info placards about the "Save the Bridge" campaign. You are unable to cross the bridge, as it does not exist at this time (Aug 2023)."

"Great park! Easy hiking. Hope the funding is found soon for the bridge. It's an iconic part of history. Having both sections of the park connected would be very convenient. We were sad the Museum was closed when we were there on 6/6/2023"

"Not the most scenic park, and there’s traffic noise throughout due to its proximity to I-44, but it does have its moments. There’s a small trail on the south part of the outer trail that cuts through the trees and was a lot of fun to bike. Otherwise, most of what the paths are just old roads without much scenery. Also, depending on what time of year you visit, you may or may not even be able to see the river even though it’s right there. In spring, I could see it easily and even go down for a better view. In summer, there’s so much plant growth that you can’t even tell it’s there. One nice thing is that this park is connected to Lion’s Park (Eureka) via the Meramec Greenway."
