blue whale of catoosa印象

It's literally a just sculpture of a whale, sitting in a pond. Perfect way to break up the monotony of a road trip. Or, if you're like the couple I saw there, it's a great place for a romantic rendezvous.

Stop in and check it out... free admission, although they do have a donation box for maintenance and upkeep. There are a couple of food trucks parked out in front which makes it look a little tacky. But worth the visit.

How I love Blue, he was the swimming hole in the late 70 ' s and 80's sad when it closed. However, very happy to see it as a national and historical icin on Rte 66

A cool and unique roadside attraction that we stopped at whilst driving Route 66. Area is safe and quiet. You can walk inside of the whale and also climb the ladder to the upper deck if you want to. Definitely worth a stop.

If you are traveling Route 66 you cannot miss the Blue Whale as it is huge. It started out as an anniversary present back in the 1970s, became a water park, closed in 1988, and now has been restored and visitors can go inside and climb on the whale. Swimming is no longer allowed, but catch and release fishing is, picnic tables are provided, and there are restrooms. It looked like in warmer months some food might be available including tamales.You could make a quick stop here, take a photo or two and be on your way in 5 minutes, but I enjoyed walking around the site and imagining the fun families must have had here years ago. Just looking at the whale with his bright color, huge size, and eyes looking at you, brought a smile to my face. Kids would enjoy being able to go inside and crawl around and in nice weather it would be a pleasant stop for a picnic.

This is so corny and gaudy that I just had to stop to see it! I'll say one thing, it puts Catoosa on the map! The locals seem to have a heartfelt affection for the big guy. Admission is free though there is a donation box. I sprang for a couple of bucks. There are also some antique cars and tractors on the site and I understand that they have live music there often!

I was born in Tulsa and lived there for 18 years but I never stopped to see the whale until my husband and I moved to Wisconsin. We drove back to OK in July 2014 and stopped there and it was great. Our 18 month old loved the whale. There isn't too much to do but stretch and take pictures but it's still worth the stop.

Route 66 icon, I hope they keep trying to preserve it. It is better to go into the tiny building next to the whale for a better understanding and tips. If not its just the wale and you could miss the other attractions like the mushroom and ark

Very fun and worth a stop when travelling route 66. It was also really nice to see the terrapins swimming about in the pond. Good fun even if it's just to take a photo or 2. Definitely one of a kind.

In what remains of an old swimming hole and nature park is one of the most popular sights on Route 66, the Blue Whale. The whale and adjacent picnic area have been renovated and very friendly, onsite volunteers informed us that current plans are to continue renovating the nature/reptile park. Food (a tamale stand and and a barbecue stand) and drinks were available. If you're traveling the "Mother Road", you should put this on your list of stops"
