What clients say about Route 66 Motorporium/Copper Cart in Seligman (AZ)
We visited this Route 66 souvenir shop during our family trip, feeling happy and excited. After parking, this was the very first place we entered. Since we were traveling with young children, we used the restroom first and planned to browse and shop afterward.
However, when we came out of the restroom, the owner suddenly blocked the area with a rope and, with an annoyed expression, told us in a very unfriendly manner that the restroom was for customers only. Her tone and attitude immediately made us uncomfortable, and our positive mood disappeared. Because of this, we no longer felt like shopping and decided to leave.
Unfortunately, the situation escalated further. The owner followed us outside and confronted us, accusing us of lying and questioning us for using the restroom without making a purchase. If the store does not want tourists to use the restroom, this policy should be clearly stated in advance, such as indicating that it is strictly for paying customers only.
Because she came outside to confront us, our young children became very tense and frightened. My husband, already upset by the situation, went back into the store to address what had happened, but he was met with a very firm and unwelcoming response and was told to leave.
What should have been a pleasant ending to our family trip turned into an upsetting experience because of how we were treated.
I highly recommend stopping in and checking out this place!! All of the employees are incredible and especially the owners. They have the coolest historical vehicles and definitely worth the drive. Also kid-friendly!! Love this place.
Stopped there on the way to Williams AZ.
Pretty cool gift shop, the clerk was very friendly and knowledgeable.
If you like motorcycles (not just Harley’s)
You will get a kick out of their collection.
Since we were traveling by bus and starting from Las Vegas, we stopped here halfway and went to the restroom and looked around inside. Of course, I didn’t buy anything inside, but I think it would be good to look around if you’re going to do it.

But Copper Cart is more than just a place to grab a bite to eat—it's a living testament to the enduring spirit of Route 66. It's a place where locals and visitors alike come together to share stories, swap travel tips, and celebrate the rich heritage of America's most famous highway.

What a delightful find on Route 66. The shop is crammed full with memorabilia and has an amazing collection of cars and motor cycles. The owner was a wonderful fellow to chat with. The shop is so different and has so many things that belong in a museum, scattered amongst the tourist products. We loved visiting and browsing.
A motorcycle from every year - at least I think! Lots of vintage motor bikes! Couple of cool cars too. Nicest shop in Seligman. Clean, I appreciated that! And the sticker van out front! Gotta love it.
Debbie's hospitality was absolutely awesome! She made fantastic recommendations for things to check out in the area and was super friendly throughout our visit. Supporting a family business like hers is a must— they have tons of cool and unique souvenirs at reasonable prices. We loved visiting here, and the photo ops right outside were fantastic! Plus, my boyfriend was really impressed by the bike collection inside! A must-stop when on Route 66! Thanks, Debbie, for your positive energy! ???
This is the place with the Blue VW Bus out front covered in stickers! such a cool shop. be sure to go inside and see their vintage motorcycle collection. A must see stop on your Route 66 tour.
The Copper Cart was where we stopped for the longest time during the Seligman and Kingman combo trip starting from LV. They had a sprawling shop with a great display of Route 66 souvenirs, and gift items ranging from keychains and t-shirts to caps, pens, and winter jackets. There was so much to choose from. On the lower floor was a display of classic vintage vehicles like motorcycles and cars. I also saw a souvenir nickel coin pincher after a long time here. So, don't forget to get one when you are here. ♿ The parking was roadside but was accessible.
Amazing place. Awesome collection of vintage cars and motor bikes.
Lovely and very friendly people running this place.
Must stop by and checkout this place.
A cute and quaint little shop for souvenirs! Some things have decent prices, others not so much. There's a few antique things here too for those interested in that kind of thing.
A nice place to pass through!
This is a nice gift shop with lots of fun stuff to check out or buy. There is a Route 66 Mural on the side of the building. There's old cars and such outside. Elvis greets you when you walk in the door. There's even a collection of old motorcycles in the back as well. Just a nice place to stop and check out lots of the Route 66 type things.
This place was listed as a coffee house, the only reason I stopped. It has a automatic coffee dispenser with an unsavory blend.... that's it! Talk about false advertisement. Just a tourist trap with a great setup to take fun, amazing, memorable pictures.
A Route 66 must stop. Very nostalgic with a little bit of Car’s land. The gentleman working inside the Copper Cart was super friendly and very knowledgeable and there’s this old cappuccino machine in the back that makes one of the best cups of cappuccino I’ve ever had.
Very friendly staff. So many route 66 gifts it's crazy. A little pricey but what you would expect given the tourist location. Great photo ops everywhere in this town.
Great place to pick up few gifts and souvenirs. The owners are very friendly and happy to help with directions. They even have a ‘Matar’ replica from the movie Cars.
5 Stars for their collection of classic cars and motorcycles located inside their building. Public restroom available. Snacks, drinks, tee shirts etc. Plenty of Souvenirs to choose from, just a bit overpriced, but nothing more than you experience at a local tourist stop. Deck if Rt 66 cards for $6.95.
You simply HAVE to go inside and see their classics! Wow.
