Overview

Climb aboard the open-air Trolley for a rolling tribute to the most legendary highway in America. In 2026, Route 66 turns 100, and this centennial celebration puts the Mother Road front and center in a way you will not find anywhere else in Albuquerque.

This fully narrated, multimedia experience is a love letter to Route 66. From glowing neon to vintage motor courts, you will trace the road that helped shape the Duke City and the American road trip. Cruise historic Central Avenue past icons like the KiMo Theatre, El Vado Motel, and 66 Diner.

Along the way you will explore Albuquerque’s culture, cuisine, and pop culture history, from red and green chile to filming locations from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Celebrate the Route 66 Centennial and experience Albuquerque the way it was meant to be seen: from the open road.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
