Splish splash your way to Catoosa, Oklahoma, and meet the Blue Whale of Route 66 fame. Constructed in 1972 as an anniversary gift, this giant blue cetacean quickly became a beloved stop for road-trippers. Though swimming in the adjacent pond is no longer allowed, the whale remains a symbol of quirky roadside Americana. Pack a picnic, snap some photos, and soak up the retro vibes of this delightful landmark. It’s a whale of a good time!
