A neat photo opportunity on route 66. There is so much to see on this route. We did just the Illinois part and it took 4 days. This is a must stop and see. more »

The bottle itself is amazing. Kids and us loved it. The area itself is a dirt back lot to the warehouse. No sitting area or anything. But dont let that scare you away. Still a great photo op.There is a exposed rock face the kids had fun picking at as well.

Seeing the worlds largest catsup bottle was undoubtedly the best moment of my life. The sheer size of the bottle took my breath away. Not to mention everything it stands for. I flew 18 hours to see this and it was worth every second and more. Probably a top 5 attraction in the world. Screw that. Top 1.
