The ultimate starting point for your Route 66 adventure!
Housed in a historic 1907 power plant that once fueled the region’s gold mines and the construction of the Hoover Dam, the Powerhouse Visitor Center is now the vibrant hub of Kingman’s tourism. This “coolest visitor center in Arizona” offers a deep dive into the history of the Mother Road.
Inside the Powerhouse:
Arizona Route 66 Museum: Experience the evolution of the 35th parallel through life-size dioramas, vintage vehicles, and murals.
World’s First Electric Vehicle Museum: A fascinating collection of over 30 rare electric cars dating from 1909 to today.
Official Gift Shop: Grab authentic, USA-made Route 66 souvenirs and maps.
Route 66 Drive-Thru Shield: Don’t miss the chance to drive your car (or walk) through the giant neon-lit Route 66 shield in the parking lot!
Admission to the Visitor Center is free, while the Museums have a small fee that is well worth the trip through history.
