Your next destination will be the charming town of Arcadia, about 85 miles away. Here, you'll want to pay a visit to Pops, an iconic Route 66 attraction that boasts the world’s largest pop bottle outside and over 700 flavors of soda pop. The inside is just as cool as the outside. The massive glass windows are lined with sleek shelves holding hundreds of glass soda bottles - all arranged by color.

After enjoying a pop, head down Route 66 where you will notice an unusual round, red barn as you drive through Arcadia. The barn stands 43 feet high, is 60 feet in diameter, and was built back in 1898. It was quite the talk of the town back then, and it's still a wonder to behold.

The town of Chandler is another charming Route 66 town that you'll enjoy driving through. Just be sure and make a stop at the Route 66 Interpretive Museum. Here, you can experience Route 66 in a unique and unusual way as you take a virtual car ride down the Mother Road.

One of the most recognizable iconic attractions on Route 66 can be found in Catoosa at The Blue Whale. Tourists from all over the world make their way to this attraction in Oklahoma. The park is open every day to visitors, so be sure and bring your camera and snap a pic with this beloved whale.

The last stop on this road trip is in Vinita and will make your belly very happy. Clanton's Cafe is the oldest continually owned family restaurant on Route 66 in the state of Oklahoma. Since 1927 they have been serving some of the finest food in the state and if you like chicken fried steak, then this is your place.
