My Mother lived in Tucson for 20 years every time my Brother, Sister and myself would come visit my Mother, (who has now passed) We always looked forward to having fun visiting Old Tucson. We have a lot of great memories, wish it would open up to the public again. I have friend's visiting me from the East Coast and it would have been a fun place to visit.

My family and I visited in 2000. Was very entertaining, from pictures with the bar maid's to watching a western shoot out with bank robbers. You could even take a stage coach ride and get held up by bandits. Take a train ride with the kids around the studio or drive a small car around a track. Also, they had an area where you can pan for gold and many more things to do. Hopefully, they reopen soon and bring back all of the fun!

I first came here approximately 18 years ago for the first time and maybe twice afterwards. This an absolute treasure! Experiencing the old west is unforgettable, frozen in time. Luckily we revisited before the closure

This place is pretty cool. I must see when visiting Tucson. My teenager & I had a great time. (These pictures were taken pre-covid, I didn't realize they were temporarily closed)

Colorful fun attractions. Great family fun, close to home, lived in Tucson 5 years and finally got to visit, "what took us so long?" Reasonable admission price, and discounts if your a local. All day events, plenty for kids of all ages. Wonderful staff all around the park.

Interesting theme park. Lots of filming history. Staff dressed in wild west era costumes, there are performances as well. Half day would be enough to cover everything. Some rides (like zipline) are additional to the admission fee. Nice photo locations.
