Postcard darling of Route 66, the happy Blue Whale has fared better than its neighbor, the dour Noah's Ark. Roadsideamerica.com Report...

The Blue Whale

Great news about The Blue Whale! Catoosa Arts & Tourism is now working on bringing "Blue" back to life. Part of the Snack Shack has been opened up to sell souvenirs on the weekends (until Oct. 17th).

We are also having the first Blue Whale Christmas this year, where Blue will be lit up and Santa will be there to take pics with the kids. There are a lot of big plans for his future. [Laura, 10/17/2010]

Big Blue Whale

Big Blue Whale On-The-Air will be Saturday September 20, 2008 from about 10 AM to 4 PM CST. K5NOW and a few friends will be operating a temporary amateur radio station from the "belly of the whale," making radio contacts from all over the USA, and possibly farther if band conditions permit. It is a fun project coinciding with Route 66 OTA, which is a national event where 18 special event stations will be operating from California to Illinois, September 13th to the 21st, commemorating Route 66 the Mother Road.

The Blue Whale

I just visited the Blue Whale last week in the small town of Catoosa. The place felt like there were many happy fun filled days at this location. There were a few maps, a Route 66 marker and a sign that showed "Pins for sale - just knock on the trailer only if the truck is there." Unfortunately, the truck was gone.

Two local kids there and told us it was the 2nd largest attraction in Catoosa, the first being the casino. There is an old trading post across the street too, but it looked to have been converted to a garage. [Nitabean, 08/24/2008]

Blue Whale

The Blue Whale was in good condition in 2007. There is a bit of a picnic area and tables, and what appeared to be a snack bar, but it was closed at the time we were there. [AliciaDug, 08/07/2008]
