Route Highlights

Chicago, Illinois

From the grandeur of Grant Park’s Buckingham Fountain to iconic museums and skyscrapers, see for yourself why Chicago was once dubbed “Paris on the Prairie.” Engage in retail therapy on the Magnificent Mile or root for the home team within the comfortable confines of famed Wrigley Field. Chicago will satisfy whatever you hunger for, from hot dogs and deep dish pizza to culture and comedy.

Springfield, Illinois

Lincoln looms large in Springfield, where the native son’s historic home, law offices, tomb and presidential library bring to life the humble beginnings of the man who would become one of America’s greatest presidents. Move from 19th century history to 20th century nostalgia when you get your kicks on Route 66 with a hot dog on a stick and a drive-in double feature.

St. Louis, Missouri

Ride to the top of the Gateway Arch and marvel at the engineering behind America’s tallest monument. Catch nine innings with the Cardinals or get giddy amid the slides and rooftop thrills of City Museum. Tour the historic Anheuser-Busch Brewery and say hello to the Clydesdales. Explore the museums, zoo and planetarium at Forest Park and dig into a true St. Louis treat, gooey butter cake.
