Get your kicks on Route 66 — we’re bound for the bright lights of Branson! This Segment 1 of Route 66 (Chicago to Branson) blends nostalgic Americana with unforgettable entertainment. Classic roadside icons, rich history, and breathtaking scenery come together to create an experience that feels both timeless and exciting.
Along the way, step into the soundtrack of a generation at the Illinois Rock & Roll Museum and explore the legacy of the Mother Road at the Route 66 Hall of Fame. Walk in Lincoln’s footsteps at his Presidential Library and reflect at his final resting place. Stand on history as you cross the mighty Mississippi River on foot along the iconic Chain of Rocks Bridge, then take in sweeping views from the top of the Gateway Arch, explore its museum, and enjoy a relaxing dinner cruise along the riverfront.
In the Ozarks, glide through Lost Canyon in a private golf cart surrounded by waterfalls and towering rock formations, and venture into a hidden cave for a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Take your seat in Branson for three incredible shows, including the #1 Hits of the 60’s, Grand Country Jubilee, and the Haygoods—because hey, they’re good! Round out the journey aboard the Fantastic Caverns tram tour, America’s only ride-through cave experience.
This is Route 66 and Branson at their very best—nostalgic, scenic, and full of unforgettable moments.
