Oatman is one of my favorite stops on Route 66 mainly because of the wild donkeys (also called burros) that you can pet and feed. The shops in the area sell donkey food for just a buck. Although they are wild, the donkeys are quite friendly provided you have something to give them. Young donkeys have a sign on their heads telling you not to feed them as they are too young to eat certain foods. The western town itself is very friendly with shops selling low priced Route 66 souvenirs and old timey attractions. It is easy to spend over an hour here enjoying the atmosphere. Live gunfights happen daily 12 noon and 2:15 on the streets.
