cadillac ranch

When you are on a long road trip you need stops like this! We arrived around 9 in the morning and it was just our luck that several people were leaving the site so we have the whole place to ourselves for spraying and photo ops. Its just a cool and different thing - why wouldn't you want to take a peek? We did take cans to use and gave them to others arriving. We also took extra bags with us and picked up some used cans that are littered about - sadly there is many. A fun 5 minutes.

Bring your own spray paint and have fun. Our boys lived the fact that they could spray them and not get in trouble. Great photo op!!

Grab your spray paint and get a kick out of writing your name or whatever other thing that comes to mind. Fun little pit stop, though it's a shame that people litter so much when there's 2 dumpsters sitting right by the entrance.

This is Histerical, a true tongue in check sight to see. Bring spray paint to make your mark, it is okay if you forget as there were a dozen or so cans available for use. Remember to use the dumpsters outside the gate as this is not an Offical State Historic site.

On the left of I 40 as you head towards albuquorque Nice shopTen shells of Cadillacs All totally spraypainted by people ten times overInteresting

We stopped here as part of a contiki tour. Very weird seeing random cars stuck in the ground but it was cool. Graffiti isn't my thing but it was great to see

We stopped by for a quick look as we passed through. We had seen this on television before, so we had to stop. Interesting. We didn't bring any spray paint with us since we hadn't planned on stopping.

Cadillac Ranch is a great family activity. We had 13 of us and brought lots of cans of paint - bright colors are the best. There are lots of Cadillacs partially buried in the ground. They must have about 50 layers of paint. It is easier if you bring the spray gun attachments for the cans and some rubber gloves. It is easy access about 15 minutes from Amarillo, Texas on Interstate 40. It is not handicap accessible through the cattle gate. Be sure and leave the not used cans of paint for someone else. Awesome Fun!!!!

Stopped as part of our Route 66 tour and as is customary signed our names, it was a good bit of fun on our trip. It literally is cadillacs buried in the ground.

This is a very fast stop and a must see. It is literally just a free standing "art" form off the highway so do not expect anything fancy - you park and walk up. We just happened to hit it at sunrise and that made it magical. We spent about 15 minutes and on our way - snapped some great shots with the kids and the plains behind it. Again, if you are expecting a museum or anything this is not for you - literally a roadside attraction and so glad we have it in our bucket list!

I read some horrible reviews on here and can't help think Stanley Marsh III is laughing from his grave as folks are still visiting the buried Cadillacs after all these years and have no clue what they're looking at. The Cadillac Ranch is NOT Disney Land, it's not a water park, there's no refreshments served or convenient picnic tables. If one will take the time to research the love and complex engineering that went into creating this art piece, one might understand its representation. It probably wasn't designed as such, but the Cadillac Ranch has become a "living" piece of art. Where the heck is America are you actually encouraged to "put your signature" on a piece of art? Virtually no where! This installation piece has stood the test of time for 40 years and counting. To hear that "people" have "trashed" the place is a joke. For once in your life get out of your car, enjoy the Texas wind, smell the cow manure in the air, and walk out to a bunch of Caddies buried belly deep in the hard Texas dirt- roll up your sleeves and spray paint your "mark" on a piece of living art.

I've driven past this attraction many, many times without slowing on the interstate. No matter what the weather, there is always at least one car stopped, often several. The Texas panhandle stretch of I-40 is not the liveliest place on earth, but the popularity of this bunch of half-buried cars is beyond my comprehension. Maybe it's the same thing that draws people up Mt. Everest--people go because it is there. In this instance, there is no challenge, just a cult-like groupie experience. Or maybe it is the opportunity to spray paint graffiti legally. Either way, I just can't relate.

Wow! a half dozen OLD Cadillac cars buried face down in a dirt field. Oh Joy! I must admit, it's a novelty and maybe a thrill for some people, but over the years the tourist/locals have trashed the place, and I would suggest having your 'shots' before entering, risk of infection or other things from cuts on the rusty metal. Children need to be supervised and watched, since they like to crawl and handle everything.It's just a novelty, only good if you need to stretch your legs and air out the car.

I am from Texas. This has always been advertised as one of the places you have to visit. The first time we went was very cold. We went again in February. It was warm that day. We were not impressed the first time or the second time. Waste of time, but you may want to go, just to say you did.

I was in the Amarillo area and found some VW's stuck in the ground. I then decided to visit Cadillac Ranch. The cars are pretty destroyed, and the paint is ratty looking. Interesting but sort of funky. Visit the VW's instead. I40 and Route 207 - east of Amarillo.
