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.
