The Route 66 Neon Park, located within George M. Reed Roadside Park, is now open! Park hours are from sunrise until midnight.
The Lighting Ceremony took place on Friday, May 9, 2025, featuring the official lighting of eight signs. Storyboards will be installed in the coming weeks, and an additional sign will be added later this summer, with two more "pods" planned for future expansion.
Once left to decay in roadside fields, buried under piles of junk in dusty sheds, or at risk of being dismantled, these beautifully crafted neon signs that once attracted travelers along the Mother Road have been given a new lease on life. Each sign has been meticulously restored to its mid-century modern glory and donated to the City of Saint Robert. Now revitalized, these vintage signs are proudly displayed at George M. Reed Roadside Park, located along Historic Route 66, just west of the Route 66/Highway Z/Missouri Avenue junction.
The restored signs illuminate the evening sky above lighted pathways, allowing visitors to appreciate them up close. Lighted storyboards provide the history of each sign. Plan your visit today to experience the Route 66 Neon Park both during the day and at night—the experiences are completely different!
