Rend Lake College

Hit the open road and discover the charm of historic Route 66! Begin your adventure at Forest Park Visitor Center before heading to the National Museum of Transportation, home to one of the world’s largest collections of vehicles and a preserved piece of the legendary Coral Court Motel. Enjoy a docent-led tour and a fun ride on the miniature train.

Next, savor an included lunch at Twisted Tree, a modern eatery along Route 66, then take a nostalgic drive down Watson Road to see iconic stops like the Wayside Motel and Crestwood Bowl.

No Route 66 trip is complete without dessert at Ted Drewes Frozen Custard! Choose from a mini chip concrete or a classic hot fudge sundae and snap a photo under the famous Route 66 sign.

Wrap up your day at the glowing St. Louis Neon Museum, where vintage signs and luminous artwork capture the retro spirit of America’s most famous highway.
