Old Tombstone Western Theme Park

Spent the day in tombstone watching gun shows and this was by far the best one. Great actors, solid script, and cool set! Saw 3 shows today including the most popular OK corral show and this one was the best.

This place is awesome! They have panning for gold, gun fights and cowboys! Great little amusement park for the family.

Bring cash so you can tip the actors, because they are putting on a stellar show that will entertain you with stories of the Wild Wild West. 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 Across the street, there's a bus tour with a different actor who will expand on some of the historical references made throughout the show.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.

This is a great show. They try and keep the audience alive with participation. The comedy is a little dry but I get they are not famous actors. I recommend stopping by and checking this show out of you have not see it yet.

We bought this event online in a package deal; for the most part I enjoyed the show. Originally I thought it was the reenactment of the OK Corral shootout (another show entirely). What it turned out to be was a comedy show of sorts with audience participation and the like. It was a good time. Tip: arrive early to get good seating away from the sun (unless that's your thing, not judging). They also have a decent air rifle shooting range carnival thing and a real saloon, along with other picture - worthy displays on the grounds.

We have been to Tucson theme park too and this one felt almost the same as that one. However, I can say the Tucson one is much bigger than this one. But still, it is great fun being here.Tons of glimpse from old western times and definitely is a must-visit in Tombstone. In fact, the only attraction for which most of us visit this town. The Gun show is the highlight. But all setup is splendid to watch. Men & women dressed up in old-time dresses with a few shows too.

Old Tombstone is a bit kitschy and a bit worn, and it definitely is not a theme park. On a cold day in early March, we arrived for the first show of the day, and found only the Cantina open. Since we weren't interested in a beer at 11 am, we walked around the "park." The kids walked the mini golf course (no clubs/balls in sight), wandered in and out of the jail, checked out the rail cars, peered in the windows of the out-of-business restaurant, looked longingly at the empty "gold panning" area, and took one turn at the shooting gallery. All of this took about 20 minutes, including reading the historical information at each hole of mini golf.Fortunately, we only had to wait about 10 minutes more for the gunfight to start. The gunfight is a comedy show with audience involvement, and it lasts about 30 minutes. The 8 year-old looovvved it, but the 5 year-old emphatically did not. We wore ear plugs throughout and still found the shots to be quite loud. The show was funny, though, and contained information about Tombstone's history.The actors also were very friendly, inviting everyone--especially kids--to ask questions and pose with them after the show. If the show hadn't been so much fun, I probably would have given only 2 stars.

The set up here is pretty cool for kids to see. They have some cute photo ops and a bar where you can get your thirst quenched. They also have a small mini golf set up. We bought tickets to see their gun show and it was very average. There are better shows in town, but for younger kids, this one will suffice.

Even here a couple of times and it's just fantastic! The workers really get into character and they put on show and interact with everyone. There is something for everyone to eat.. from fast food to sit down. Make sure wear shoes( streets are dirt) and some sunscreen. They have plenty of shops ms stores to buy souvenirs! Great time for the whole family!

The animals is the animal pen at the mining tour are completely covered in huge flies. It's cruel and they need to put out fly traps
