    Just everything in old  Tucson  Fright night.  Halloween spectacular all my photos.
    Leticia L.

    It was such fun . Scary, n well decorated for Halloween, Fright night. They had ghouls and goblins. All over the park w music playing n smoke coming out in all directions. We also had a chance to get on the rides n the petting zoo was open . Food pretty much around the park. Souvenirs. Stores were also open . I would say we all had a great time together. Thumbs up Old Tucson .

    Loved nightfall this year. Scary and lots of great shows like the magic shows and petting zoo. They also brought bar the old vintage cars and the haunted houses are scarier than ever. They also offer scare me not necklaces for kids to wear so the actors know not to scare or go near the kids. We took advantage of the photos they offer and took some photos with Dabney the clown. We also enjoyed some great food and drinks. The gift shop offers lots of great merch. I can't wait to be back for the holidays. 10/10 recommend

    Nightfall 2025! Went for the first time after living in Tucson for 25 years. Yes I'm a looser! Went with a group of friends to just hang out, have some food and have a few! Good time for sure. The talent was great and the fright level was perfect for me. If you want to be really scared this isn't it. Did all the haunted houses and I got jump scared a few times, but I was walking last in the group. Small trick to miss most of the jump scares. We were there from 5 to close and there were a few attractions we didn't get to see. Crowd was good for a Friday, no idiots doing drunk stuff. Didn't wait in any line more than 10 minutes. They keep the attractions moving good. Will make it an annual thing now. Kinda sad I waited so long to go. Support our local attractions and local talent!

    Spouse and I were the only two people on the 8:30am tour. Tour guide was informative but only took us to a few buildings. No tour tram running, no gunfight show, no restaurants open, not allowed free time to walk around. Kinda disappointing.

    If you love old movies, history stuff this place is for you! I'm a total nerd for these things. Anything that gives old timey, nostalgia or ghost town vibes I am so in! Located smack dab in the middle of nowhere , where nothing but the sun to best you down you're in the right place, located outside of Tuscon Mountain Park, the drive in is a nice one. If you ask why I came it was solely to see The Little House on the Prairie Chapel. Unfortunately you can see it and get pictures farther back you cannot go inside or get too close due to it being damaged a ways back. There are live shows and plenty of other old sets from westerns etc. they have a carousel, petting zoo, train ride and more. There is a restaurant and ice cream shop as well as souvenirs of course. Down side it's ridiculously priced. For my husband and I and two teenagers it was over $120 and that is the general admission without the rides etc which would've put us at nearly $200. So if you're a huge fan of movie sets, have money to waste and atleast 3-4 hours to spend this is for you, I think it's one and done for me, but I still think it was worth it to see this once, it's little house on the prairie come on now !

    If you are a fan of Western movies or tv shows this is the place for you. Many John Wayne movies were filmed here and the surrounding area as were episodes of Gunsmoke and Little House on the Prairie to name a few. The guide was very informative and it was so neat walking the old streets visiting the movie sets.

    This is a must see for all ages. A part of our cinema culture that shouldn't be missed. Fabulous and knowledgeable staff. The entertainment team works hard in desert conditions to bring western story telling to life. There are some air conditioned buildings but there is a lot of out door as well. Filming is still done here. The ride to this location takes you through gates pass which is beautiful as well. I cannot comment on the food as we didn't eat anything but there are plenty of options and the ice cream looked great.

    We went last month for Yuletide, it was our first time visiting Old Tucson. Tickets were slightly pricey, but it included all of the shows, train ride, hayride, etc. so I think it evened out for the cost to get in. I'd say we were there for three and a half to four hours. They had holiday decorations & lights up, there were elves and carolers that helped bring you the holiday spirit. We had arrived just a few minutes before they opened & the line to get in was massive, but thankfully as soon as the opened the line moved pretty quickly so we weren't waiting in line forever. I thought the little museum they had with a lot of old movie props & information from films & shows that were filmed at the location was pretty neat. It was also cool being able to see the black smith working right in front of everyone. The opening ceremony with Santa was fantastic, the only thing I would say they could change is maybe have some kind of rope or paint line in the dirt to show where everyone needs to be standing for it. People were spread kind of all over & when the staff started corralling everyone to where they needed to be there were a lot of rude people shoving and cutting in front of people trying to get the people who were already in the proper spot out of the way. I felt like they had a lot to offer/do during the Yuletide event. There were quite a few shows to watch, a small hay maze for kids, a theatre showing classic holiday movies, a trivia game for kids, a carousel, story time with Mrs. Clause, Photos with Santa, a holiday sing along hayride, a train ride and more. All of the staff we had interacted with were friendly & helpful. The stunt show didn't have anything overly wild, but the actors are what made the show fun to see, we enjoyed the show & had a great time. We didn't try any of the food options at Old Tucson so I can't comment on the price or how good the food was. I only gave it four stars as some of the prices in the gift shop & candy store were a bit high and on top of a semi pricey ticket to get in might make it harder for some families to be able to afford a trip. A tiny piece of fudge was $10 for plain & other treats and merch were pretty up there was well. Other than that we are glad we were able to visit & see what Old Tucson had to offer for the holiday season.

    Unfortunately we came in during the off season. Right now they only offer the walking guided tour which is really interesting. If you're a big fan of Western or cowboy movies, this place is a must for you to visit. We learned so much about the old Western movies that were really popular from the past. The tour guide is really informative. If you're planning to visit during this hot season make sure you put on your sunblock, wear a hat and bring water. We are looking forward to their Winter season attractions. Also they have this souvenir shop at the gate, and they have lots of interesting stuff to buy.

    Who knew it was the grand reopening!

    Opening Day of the well anticipated new season. I visited Old Tucson in the 80s and enjoyed it alot. Good memories. I understand they hit hard times in the timeframe before Covid, and then the pandemic ended their long run. Of course things are more expensive, but the "feel" remains authentic. The local actors work hard, have camaraderie, and generally seem to be having fun. We sure did. We came at 1045 and left at 330. Bathrooms were plentiful , updated, and well maintained. Great job. Our tour docent was well versed in the movie history of the set. Excellent all around. Good job to the county for their response ownership and hiring a competent park operator. Make sure you check the website for hours and activities. The drive in is excellent.

    This place was whack. I wouldn't recommend going here. Go to Tombstone instead. The Saguaro National Park (SNP) opens at 9am but this place doesn't open until 10:30am which is a nuisance because they are right next to each other. We were on a day trip to Tucson from Phoenix. We visited the SNP at 9am but had to go into Tucson to wait for Old Tucson to open. We swung by Old Tucson in the afternoon on the way home. It was open but there were only a few cars in the lot. I didn't quite know what to expect but I pretty much expected it to be like an old western town that you could walk through and go to unique shops. It wasn't like that at all. The entrance was all boarded up and you couldn't get in. They had one store open at the front but there was nothing I wanted to buy in there. I saw that they had tours but the next one wasn't until 1.5 hours after when we were there and it was full. It's not like you can really wait around to go on tours because there's nothing to do and it's 100+ degrees outside. Super lame and disappointing. We did take a picture in front of the sign just to say we've been here.

    This was a fun place to visit especially if you watch old westerns. Not as big as it used to be but I still enjoyed it

    Are there pony rides for kids here?

    No, not when we were there.

    Would you take handicap person on a walker here? Can they navigate the streets or sidewalks? Just wondering as my husband wants to go but can't walk without walker or wheelchair. Thank you in advance for any information. :)

    Nonni B., We do have people who come through with walkers, wheelchairs and scooters. While our streets are unpaved, they are relatively flat, and we do have porches that you… Read more
