Route 66 Mural Park

We really enjoyed the Route 66 Mural Park and spent a fair amount of time there. The murals painted on the wall are well done and informative. There is also a mock up of a Red Chevrolet Corvette moulded into the wall. This small park on the original Mother Road is a great tribute.

Plenty of free street parking spaces. Smooth pavement. ADA compliant, accessible. Safe historic downtown spot. Great photo opportunities. No charge to see the art. Murals are awesome, especially if you're Route66 nostalgic as i am. Very cool at night as well. Downtown Joplin is far more vibrant than I thought, it's very clean, great walkability and retail shopping is eclectic. Close to everything in Joplin proper. Be sure to go to the visitors center where you can meet Terry who's a wealth of local knowledge and get a Route66 passport book to get stamped along the way. Safe travels.????

What a treat, I was driving thru and bumped into this mural. Another one down on Route 66. I love stoping at all the murals across the us but to hit one on the famous route it’s a treat.

It was really awesome! I had friends visiting from Italy thst had heard so much about Route 66 in all the old American movies. This place was awesome, held up to all our expectations and then some! It is a must-see if you are driving through!!

Small, close to park, fun place. There are a few good photo ops. Free. No tickets required.
