Arizona Route 66 Museum

Very neat museum set in an old power plant. There is so much information about the settlers and the growth of route 66. The basement also had an electric car exhibit. It's definitely worth a stop.

If you don’t stop here and visit, you have no idea what you’re missing!!! Family, fun, photos, adventure and historical views as well as memorabilia. Route 66 is considered the most historical iconic memories that you could ever have in the whole entire United States! Doll, who can relate will understand the full meaning of 🇺🇸… do not hesitate to ask the staff for a guy tour book or a map to enjoy all the sites and history behind the wonderful travels of the United States of America!!!

Very fun little store great photo opportunities outside, there is a paid part of the museum but we didn't have enough time so we didn't walk through it there is plenty to do for free. Lots of good souvenirs, kids got candy, Mom and Dad were able to get soda and water. There's a picture photo booth in the back there is also restrooms.

An excellent museum about electric cars with exhibits ranging from the history to the present day. The various components of the electric vehicle from the past are nicely exhibited and are a great experience. The museum is hosted in the Visitor Center which is accessible ♿ and also has a reserved accessible parking.

Awesome place. Highly recommended. Went during the week so it was quite empty which made it that much better

Didn't realize history route 66 , drove from Phoenix experience famous highways plus discovery city of Ash Fork, Arizona .. still had hit every city see main street full motels ... vintage cars was worth long drive

Great little museum packed with interesting history about famed Route 66. Housed inside a historic power station building from the early 1900s, it's on the second floor above the local visitor center. Admission is cheap at 10 bucks and that also gets you entry into two other local attractions – the Mohave Museum that features the regional history and environment, and the historic Bonelli House, also from the early 1900s.

The Route 66 Museum itself has plenty of information about the legendary road including stories of the early explorers and settlers that initially passed through the region. There are fascinating displays talking about and recreating the wagons and “Prairie Schooners” used in those days, then more exhibits about the early days of automobile travel on dirt roads before Route 66 actually came to be. Of course it then goes on to the heyday of Route 66 with some recreations of vintage storefronts and finally the decline of the “Mother Road” as the highway system takes hold. That decline is highlighted by a documentary that plays in the mini-theater downstairs on the way to the Electric Vehicle Museum.

The EV Museum is part of the standard admission fee and was an interesting bonus – it was actually the main reason I wanted to check out this place having recently bought an electric car myself. The museum consists of one large hall containing a variety of electric vehicles ranging from neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) - good only for short urban hops - to fully road-legal EVs like a Tesla Roadster and converted Porsche 911, to one-off race vehicles. It's not a comprehensive overview of EV history by any means but fascinating nonetheless and well worth the low price of admission. The local Tesla Supercharger station happens to be located beside the museum building and there's a free level 2 charger for non-Tesla EV drivers too on the opposite side, just in case you drove here in an electric vehicle yourself.

The visitor center has a great gift shop for Arizona souvenirs and beside it there's another gift shop specifically for the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona with plenty of merchandise to choose from.

Outside in the parking lot is a great photo opportunity with a large Route 66 sign you can drive your car or motorcycle through.

All in all, a wonderful little stop for any road trip through Kingman, especially for anyone interested in the old Route 66.

This was a nice pit stop on the way from Flagstaff to Vegas. Very inexpensive museum. The entire Route 66 museum, electric car display, and history film should take an hour to two hours to go through if reading all of the information. Two gift shops also attached. Great photos and relics to share a piece of country’s past.

We enjoyed this museum with our adult children. There are many photos and stories of people who assisted in the development of Route 66, as well as maps helping you see the journey. Bonus! Downstairs there is an Electric Car Museum with historical EVs, so fun!!

What an amazing experience!! We had a great time with y'all! Thank you for making it such a wonderful visit

In the Morning of April 12, 2018, we found ourselves on the old Route 66 in Kingman Arizona. This historic community displayed a variety of art along the main strip which gave it more character and attraction. This was a great place to visit as we made our way north.

Make sure to take cash when visiting the museum section. We were fortunate enough to have had a host let us be his guest. The museum is informative, interesting and shows some great history of the area, route 66 and the time.
Great little gift shops. If you collect stretch pennies they have the penny holder and a penny holder journal.
If your traveling for the route 66 experience get your stamp and passport ($10 approx) to add a fun little treasure to your trip.

I was amazed at how much information from early native life to recent ranch and mining was displayed and explained in this small building. We enjoyed the displays, but should have allowed more time to read the descriptions.

Very interesting place. Lots of infos on route 66, the history, anecdotes on the barber shop and its owner. The son in law is very friendly and full of infos and anecdotes. Definitively a place to visit

Best $4 I spent that day. Great history on Route 66 and the people who crossed the country and settled along it, with exhibits addressing the major waves of people and specific issues they faced. I appreciated the photo exhibit highlighting some of the current attractions. The second floor had the best exhibits while the main floor housed a movie and mining exhibit and then there was a random electric car collection that didn't quite fit in...

A good collection of historic exhibits and informative displays at historic Kingman. The historic electric car collection is impressive! Conveniently located near I-40.

Incredible museum! Spent a hour reading every tidbit about Route 66 and the west. Having traveled it for more than 50 years myself, I remember the super highway being built as we drove! Great memories and very informative! Excellent viewing and cool movie. When you buy a ticket, you also get free admission to Mohave museum and Bonelli house! Well worth the s m all fee!

This museum is part of a set of three that'll cost you a whopping $4! Yep, $4 for all three. :-)

You'll learn a lot of history about route 66 here that is not generally passed on in common folklore. So it's quite an interesting spot to visit.

Very unique museum and really interesting. The exhibits on the early Route 66 are very informative and well made. The second part on electric vehicles is super entertaining. Very reasonable price with the 10 dollar ticket getting you into multiple other museums in the city as well. Friendly staff as well. If you’re in the area it’s a must stop spot.

This stop is always good. Lots of history in the upstairs museum and great souvenirs in the main floor shop. Added bonus is the Route 66 photo props.
