    Old Tucson tour
    Shelley J.

    Had a great time exploring the Old Tucson area. The tour guide was super nice and had stories of his own to tell. Enough to pique your curiosity but not enough to give away all his past bridges with actors. This is a "not to be missed" stop. Very entertaining and made me want to run back to my hotel and watch old Westerns so I could pick up on some of the scenes from Old Tucson. Bathrooms on location which is always good. We went before the summer amusement park opened. So it was nice & quiet.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Gene T.

    We enjoyed it. Brought back some memories of "Old Tucson". Wish there was a little more "movie" history, but all in all it was fun. There was a horse and cart ride to the High Chaparral. Train rides. Shows in the Palace and in front of the Mission! There are stores, places to eat and drink. I hope it continues. It was a fun day!

Off to one side, past the stage coach, is a merry-go-round and ferris wheel for the smalls. (You can see them from part of the parking lot.) At the back, through a couple of arches you'll find a mission with fountian in the courtyard. Behind a stockade fence is a show venue. A small train you can ride travels around the outskirts of the property. Cost is one wooden nickle. Ice cream, a candy shop, a breakfast restaurant (open 6am-2pm), a day spa, photographer and several other businesses rent space in Trail Dust Town. Shows, the train and kiddie rides open at 5pm while other businesses open earlier. It's a very fun space to walk around. Enjoy the artifacts (gold panning, horse tack, barbed wire) and the recreated old western town atmosphere. Plenty of parking all around the town with handicap spots right along the road side. An ATM is on the sidewalk near the fort side of town. A small water fountain for your fur baby is near the train depot. Restrooms are inside Pinnacle Peak.

From there, I walked to this old West dust town experience for an hour or two. Some things I learned: stop by on a weekend rather than a weekday like me. Why? A good number of things are closed during the week. Most notably, their gunfighting performance which I was most looking forward to. Some of the shops, restaurants, and attractions are also closed. Despite the limited experience, I still enjoyed it. I first stopped by the saloon for a drink. Naturally. It was happy hour, so I got a discount on an orange blossom beer. Solid beer at a solid price. From there, I walked around taking it all in. I checked out several of the shops. And I enjoyed the sunset. All in all, while it's not huge, I enjoyed it. If you have kids, they will like it even more.

The folks at Old Tombstone have got an outdoor theater, an offering of bus tours, and...a mini golf course? But nobody comes here to put, it's all about tales of 19th century America that feel almost satirical. It's a cool summer day, with Tombstone's elevation of 4500 feet leaving the town a solid 25 degrees cooler than Phoenix. I grab a beer from the little tavern, and take my seat on the bleachers of the outdoor amphitheater. Old country tune (Big Iron) is blaring from the loudspeakers, and I see the actors take the stage. They look familiar--they're the same dudes casually roaming the streets in costume! And right as the first scenes unfold, we learn those gaudy revolvers on their hips are actually real guns, and they're going to have fun shooting blanks all afternoon. Without spoiling the entire production, it's set in the time of the mining boom, when Tombstone was full of opportunities, where we learn it was full of bankers, lawyers, territorial wars against indigenous people, and "ladies of the night". This is REAL America where there are next to no rules, and making money by any means possible is the name of the game. But there are still good guys and bad guys, of course! The bad guys, who we, the audience will boo are the bankers, lawyers, and politicians. They don't literally appear in this production, but the antagonist is a robber, which in wild west epistemology serves the same function. The good guy, of course, is the cop...er...sheriff. He is a wildly incompetent drunkard who loafs around on the job and can barely shoot straight, let alone stay awake, but he's putting his life on the line to protect some property, so we're obliged to applaud. If only our actual discourse could be so straightforward. The show has plenty of action and one-liners, and everyone has a great time! Across the street, there's a bus tour with a different actor who will expand on some of the historical references made throughout the show. Like the rich history of Chinese immigrants, the most successful of whom a woman who made money getting men into mines and women into brothels. You will see the sites where people died, a glimpse of a gangster graveyard, and more. This place is really small but it's actually full of natural beauty and much better weather than the valley. We really should have made this our capital city. This is more than worth a day trip and it's such a treat to see a little history up close.
