Uranus Missouri

Route 66 site
In St. Robert, Missouri
0.1 mi from Route 66

Uranus Missouri is a roadside tourist attraction on the Route 66 corridor near Saint Robert, MO, in an unincorporated corner of Pulaski County. The name is the joke, and the whole place leans into it. Every business here belongs to one owner, Louie Keen, who goes by the title "Mayor of Uranus." The stop also once held a Guinness World Records title for the largest belt buckle, which says a lot about its sense of humor.

What is Uranus Missouri?

Think of it as a small cluster of businesses built around a pun rather than a real town. There is no city government; the "mayor" is the owner, and the title is part of the fun. It is the kind of place people stop at mainly for a laugh and a photo with the signs.

The giant belt buckle is its best-known claim: it once held the Guinness record for the biggest one ever made.

Visiting Uranus Missouri: tips

It sits right on the old road, so it needs no real detour. It is listed as wheelchair accessible. Plan on a quick stop of 20 to 30 minutes, longer if you like to browse. Fuel, a country cafe and a chain motel are all within about half a mile, which makes it a practical break as well as a silly one.

The Hooker ghost town site is about 3 miles away, the Old Stagecoach Stop in Waynesville is about 5 miles, and Onyx Cave is under 6 miles.
