As America celebrates the centennial of Route 66, there is no better time to discover Bartlesville. Located less than 66 miles from the Mother Road, it is an easy drive for families looking to turn a simple outing into something memorable.

Bartlesville’s connection to Phillips 66 traces back to Route 66 itself, making this a meaningful stop filled with history, innovation, and welcoming charm.

Fun For The Entire Family

Spend your day exploring Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve, where rolling hills, wildlife, and a world class museum create an unforgettable experience for all ages. In May, families can also enjoy special Saturday daytime hours at Kiddie Park before full summer operations begin.

Make it more than a day trip and stay the night. Bartlesville offers a variety of hotels and short term vacation rentals ready to welcome your family. Start the next morning with a local brunch, browse the Farmers Market, or enjoy time together at Unity Square. There is always something happening.

Bartlesville is a Value News and Green Country Tourism Premier Place.
