Old Tucson

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!

Old Tucson is the place many classic western movies were filmed. Old Tucson was a mixed bag of excitement and disappointment. The Old Tucson Website let us down by not making it apparent on its homepage the park is closed during the summer. No food, no rides, no games, no gunfights, and no entertainment during the summer months. The saving grace is a fabulous tour given by a wonderful guide for $20 per person. This gives you the history of this famous movie set. The photo opportunities without the crowds were nice. The website home page not saying tours only during the summer drops this review from a 5 star to a frustrated 4-star review.

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.

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.

It wasn't open to rides. We did the tour because that was the only choice. You learn about western movies. Our guide was great, he did a great John Wayne impersonation, he did not do a great Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation. When it's super hot, you go from Shadow to Shadow while the guide explains what you're looking at. I recommend watching Tombstone before going to the tour.

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 really cool and I enjoyed the tour our guide was so funny was able to answer any questions and overall friendly it was really nice and I would love to go there a 3 time.

Tucked away deep in the desert, past the dusty roads and cactus 🏜, you'll find Old Tucson. The legendary filming site of all your favorite Westerns, where icons have created a cinematic 🎥 portfolio of American trials, tribulations, & the old West. Family friendly with putt-putt ⛳️, gold mining, a few small rides, and a train 🚂 they've balanced the aspects for history and movie buffs with bringing the kids along. Tours depicting past (& sometimes current) films happen at specific times throughout the day. John Waynes barn, the school house, old church, and saloon are all preserved and used today. Artifacts from movies and shows long past are carefully displayed, along with information about the movies. Can-can dancers preform and a shootout happens in the old west town. It's all a very sweet, family-friendly version of the Old West. There is a little gift shop on site selling cowboy hats, drinks, shot glasses, and shirts. One thing to note... the location is remote. If you have (little) people who tend to get hungry, bring snacks or even a lunch with drinks. Also, it tends to take a good bit to return to the interstate. So plan extra time to explore the lookouts and trails. Overall, it was super cute. 🪖 Entrance fees do allow for military discounts.
