Was unsure off taking the loop through Oatman, but so glad we did. It typifies everything about route 66. Old school with lots off 60s themed activities. Highlight being the Burrows, even followed me into a store. Why anyone has a complaint about this town I will never know.

We were staying in Lake Havasu and decided to go visit Oatman and Not disappointed. First of all the drive on Route 66 was awesome, I felt like I was in a Western movie. The scenery of the mountains and desert were amazing. Now on to Oatman, I love Donkeys so to me this was the best place ever! They are so friendly and come right up to you and follow you in the stores. We watched a gunfight, they have many stores for souveniers. They have an awesome Candy Shop and my Grandsons got to pan for gold and we got to go in a mine. There is alot of old stuff there to look at. I personally thought it was great and will definitely go back.

We had a fun visit! I had been here with our son years before, but unfortunately there was a huge biker ride taking place – so extremely crowded then. Finally got back with my spouse for a visit, and had a great time for a couple of hours walking around town and stopping for lunch.

Pretty cool little place. We drove about 2 hours to get there but it was well worth the drive. They have a couple of eatries and a couple of saloon style bars. there are some unique shops and its all very historical. The other thing is its on old route 66. It was also where clark Gable and Gene harlow spent their honeymoon. Their room is pretty much the way it was untouched. Very cool piece of hollywood history. The burros are fun. Very family friendly not expensive at all. All the people we met were very nice. Plan on being here about 3-4 hours and most things close up at about 5pm in the winter. December was a great time to go. It was not busy and no coat was needed, about 70 degrees or so.

Enjoyed the drive there from Vegas and back on 12/30/23. Great road trip. Love how people have started to put Christmas decorations on the bushes prior to entering Oatman. Didn't stop to walk around though; wayyy too crowded! They still allow parallel parking along the main drag, which is a narrow street to begin with. The sidewalks are narrow or non-existent in places, so people were walking on the road, blocking and slowing down traffic. Had my dogs with me but wasn't going to fight with the crowds, so we just passed thru. Glad to see burros still mingle among the non-natives!

Better when not crowded (?) Very busy on the Saturday our 10 person family went for first time. We had three small dogs and were warned several times about the possibility of the burros kicking them, so we were careful. Shopkeepers friendly and accommodating. Shootout corny but engaging and collects offerings for St. Jude’s. Most direct drive is over dirt road from Bullhead City, quite a bit longer on paved roads.

Neat place in the middle of nowhere. The wild burros were cute, but not so wild because they are being fed by all the visitors. Interesting to see the off-road SUV’s running through town. Looks like there is a lot of area for riding nearby.

This wide spot on route 66 is well worth stopping and checking out.. if you happen to be there at the right time of day ,they put on a old time shoot out in the street . Be sure to guard any food you by at the shops ,or a burro will sneak up on you and steal it from you. They are experts!! Stop in the dollar bill bar /reausrant and count the money. Many things to see and dream of what it was like a 100 years ago . Take your time and explore all the shops.

What a great way to spend half a day. We drove from Las Vegas while on vacation, took a bit over 2 hours. The burros were friendly, but they are wild, so they can get a little bossy. You can buy donkey feed for $1.00, rather than to feed them stuff that is bad for them. They are gentle taking food from your hands. We did see one steal a bag of treats, empty it out and eat the bag! It was a good day!

We added Oatman as a stop between Vegas the the Grand Canyon. It was a good detour as the drive into town was pretty and also pretty exciting. We walked around the shops, fed the burros, and checked out the photo ops and stuff. It was busy, even on a Wednesday in March. We parked at a little lot just into town where you put a few dollars in a barrel. We walked up one side of the street and back down the other, stopping at shops and the Hotel, just to peek inside. We were there about an hour and a half or so and had fun. It is a must stop if you are doing Route 66 and I think it was worth the detour if you have the time and are in the Kingman, AZ area.
