Catoosa has a variety of family fun things to see and do especially around Route 66.

 

Catoosa is located just outside of East Tulsa and Route 66 runs right through it. We have explored the area many times.

Route 66 Blue Whale

Ol’ blue is a must see if in the Tulsa area or if cruising Route 66.

Its completely free to see and experience. You can go inside the Whale, walk the trail beside it, fish in the pond and check out the gift shop.

It’s a great roadside attraction and one of the most iconic on Route 66.
