Old Tucson - Tucson, Arizona

What a wonderful surprise and gem of a place to visit ! (Buy the all inclusive wristband)Not wheelchair friendly but plenty of parking and the staff are very friendly& were great & in costume. The shows were amazing . especially make sure you plan to see the stunt show & Can Can, ride the train and Carousel! There was plenty to do all day for all ages! There were seven of us and we had lunch at Jake’s barbecue and it was absolutely delicious ~ better than any I’ve had at other restaurants.
Already planning our next trip back.

My family (from Minnesota) and our friend and her family (all from Ohio, randomly in town at the same time as us for a soccer tournament) thoroughly enjoyed our day at Old Tucson! With ages ranging from 2 to 60+, there was genuinely something for everyone. From things I read on Google and Reddit, I honestly went in with pretty low expectations, but any negative or neutral thing I read was disregarded shortly after our arrival.

The cast members were excellent. They were engaging from the moment we walked in, they stayed in character all day long, and many of them, after meeting my daughter first thing in the morning, even remembered her name and greeted her throughout the day and as we left, making it extra special (and completely unheard of at larger theme parks - it was a weekday, so there’s a chance it also wasn’t as busy as it can get - for context, my daughter and I had a whole carousel ride to ourselves and plenty of empty seats on our train ride). One cast member even recommended a great place for our party of 11 to grab dinner (for which I’ll also be leaving a 5 star review).

Our group had the most fun at the magic show, especially since 3 of us were asked to participate. I’ve seen a lot of magic shows in my day, and while this one doesn’t have the most awe-inspiring tricks, the performer was a natural comedian and really sold the tricks with exceptional narrative, banter, and quick wit. Same with the stunt show - these performers are effortless comedians and really excel at working the crowd - they may have been better at that than any similar show I’ve seen.

We brought our almost 3 year old with a stroller and our friend uses a wheelchair - despite the bumps and dirt trails, most of the park felt accessible and getting around was smooth.

My family will definitely be back here on some of our annual trips to visit my in-laws. As we were leaving, my daughter exclaimed, “I come back to cowboy town next year?”

Great reenactment of cowboy western. The site was used to film many Hollywood western. The place went through hard times during Covid but it was a real joy to be there. "Actors" were very interactive and shows were very frequent and all included with admission price.

I really enjoyed my visit. The personal was always nice, welcoming and ready to help you. We didn’t get any tour because we like to wonder and take our time and no regrets. They had different shows throughout the day so we never got bored. We only spent there 2 hours due to our itinerary but you can easily stay there until they close. There’s a restaurant, a bar and lots of snacks available.

It was amazing 💕 I recommend planning a whole day for this place! We were delighted with the decorations and the show that the stuntmen did there! The friendly atmosphere of the old town is incredible. We enjoyed all the rides and shows to the fullest and we want to go back there again!

I knew that being a fan of Western movies would make a visit to Old Tucson a "must see"! Even the Kurt Russell/Val Kilmer movie "Tombstone" was filmed here! Despite the blistering heat I still enjoyed not only seeing the sets, but viewing a stunt show, a gunfight, an attack on a homestead, a train ride, a stagecoach ride, etc... they had quite a few shops for lunch, blacksmith demonstration, snacks and libations. The restrooms were clean, and they had a Merry go round and a petting zoo for the kiddies. I was the last person to leave before they locked the front gate, and I'm sure glad I planned ahead for this adventure!

Great family entertainment. For all ages. Has kids rides of all sorts, including a stagecoach and train ride around the premises. Walking tours are available. Live Western theme shows (dancing girls, gunfight, stunt show, living on the range). Play a hand of cards with the dealer. Go mine for gold.
Hollywood history here, too, as many movies have been filmed here.

Great experience! My only suggestion is to slow down on the tour! The tour guide had so much to offer and there were a ton of photo opps, but it felt very rushed. Very cool history and would recommend.
