Thanks Susan. Nice gift shop and Center. My only suggestion: a sign outside of gift shop if you enter from east or west entrance that says Pay admission in gift shop. I will enjoy my magnet and route 66 bell ?. The movies need more volume. The interactive centers are cool.

We held a large event (150ish people) in their ballroom. It was wonderful! The people who work here are so helpful and kind. The space is clean and well maintained. The kitchen is HUGE. The entire experience was great.The rest of the building is very interesting and the tour guides are quite knowledgeable
The Chandler Route 66 Interpretive Center is housed in a former National Guard Armory constructed of locally quarried sandstone, the 1936-37 WPA-built structure was home to the Oklahoma National Guard until 1971. The outer walls of this grand building consist of hand-chiseled stone 20 inches thick. The glitter-speckled, retro-fitted upholstered beds bring a whole new meaning to the term "rest stop." Six video stations and a cozy theater enhance the individual experience with state-of-the-art technology. Visitors of all ages will delight in a unique and interactive trip on the "Mother Road"-a pilgrimage experienced through an array of audio-visuals portraying the sights, sounds & history of America's legendary highway.
