Recreation Bus · Flossmoor, IL
Step back in time as we travel the historic "Mother Road" on this Americana-filled day trip led by expert Route 66 step-on guide Ed Kozak. You’ll experience the quirky charm and fascinating history of one of America’s most iconic highways through fun photo stops at classic roadside attractions, explorations of charming small towns, and a visit to the vibrant murals and shops of Pontiac. A highlight of the journey includes a walk across the scenic suspension bridge—a consistent guest favorite—followed by a classic lunch at the Old Route 66 Diner, which is included in your registration. This collaborative co-op trip with our South Suburban Park District partners offers stress-free travel with no admission fees and all gratuities covered. Our minibus will depart from the local center to meet the main motorcoach at the Pleasant Dale Park District, where the coach leaves promptly at 8:15 am and returns around 6:45 pm. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing a camera to capture the many memorable views along the way.
