We were lucky to be in the area during their Yuletide celebration. Everything looked so pretty. Visiting the park is a must if you are a fan of Western movies. We didn't expect the extra touch of Christmas but we loved it. However, the best part of the experience was the people. Everyone was very nice, customer service was great everywhere, but a few of them really shined. Tristan from the gift shop: Such a nice young man, extremely helpful. I went in for one ornament on arrival. We ended up buying a bunch of things by the end of the night, even if we didn't see him the second time we went into the gift shop (I'm wearing my hoodie today). Blacksmith Richie: He is so entertaining. Children and adults were watching him work. He was making magic wands at the moment we started watching. He made a pretty hair pin with a nail. He is skilled, informative, funny, and even handsome! Very kind and engaging with everyone watching. Mrs. Claus: She was adorable. All the kids were so into the story. Very sweet and entertaining. The setting of her room was so nice and cozy too. Santa's elf at the mine: Her enthusiasm, her make up and outfit, her performance; all of her said "festive and happy". Definitely recommend visiting the park. I also recommend Christmas bonuses for all the awesome staff. read more

Don't bother. Waste of money!!! Nothing open. No activities. Most of the 'town' is shut down. One short walking tour where guide talks about movies that anyone under 50 never heard of. No food. Did get to pay $4.00 for a 99 cents bottle of water. Nothing on the website is going on except the one short walk. Several asked for a refund. (Denied of course) I gave it a one star only because I couldn't post a negative score read more

went on the historical movie tour. Our guide was amazing and was an actor himself. Definitely recommend reading up on some of the movies filmed there prior to your tour. read more

We have not been to Old Tucson in 35 years and this was so much fun! The re-creators were wonderfully talented and the historian giving us a historical movie tour was funny and informative. It's definitely a 'to do' if in the Tucson area. read more

this is only an event you can go in if you ALREADY BOOKED A TOUR. We stopped in here for fun and we were not able to enter. The only thing that was open was the gift store. Just a warning the others debating going here! read more

Attended Yuletide last night. Stunt show was not good, food at Rosa Cantina was awful. Employees were very friendly. Decorations were very nice . will skip next year read more

In general, I enjoy Old Tucson studios. The stunt show is fun. They have a few rides for younger kids. In the past, I'd enjoyed Nightfall in October and Old Timey Holidays in December. However, I was shocked by the stunt show at Nightfall this year (2025). I expected violence and even some blood and gore. It is a Halloween themed stunt show after all. But it was sexual innuendo after sexual innuendo. Every third word was a swear. They were insulting to each other and the audience. They included over the top potty humor. I've brought my kids before and never regretted it, but this year I was mortified they experienced that. It was cheap adult humor aimed at drunk adults. There were warning signs everywhere about violence and gore. At the beginning of the show they warned people there was violence and those who are easily offended should leave, but nothing anywhere warned about the sexual content. They talked about power bottoms and buying Plan B. One invited the women to meet him in room 369 and bring a friend. They constantly acted out humping and referenced anal sex. It was so incredibly inappropriate and there was no warning about that. I will never risk bringing children to that again. Which is disappointing because sure we all enjoyed it in the past. read more

Nightfall - We went on the discounted Thursday night, $35 per person, otherwise other nights it's $50 per person. Keep in mind there is at least one attraction that used to be included in entry price that is now a separate purchase which is the maze that the past 2 years has been the last slightly entertaining attraction. The main show was unfortunately not funny at all and a bit hard to follow. To justify spending so much on tickets when going in a group it'd be nice to see more effort put into the scariness so everyone in my party could have fun. It seems old Tucson is much less of a haunt since it's been bought out, and they don't quite know how to balance family friendliness and scares. There is the addition of the petting zoo which made me a bit sad, yet is where I had the most fun. My friend got a sandwich and Mac and cheese and it was entirely inedible, we asked for a refund and she told us it was hard to do a refund and we could just have something else, but the food was already making my friends stomach turn (which became the end to our night). After we asked for a refund the cashier struggled to find our purchase and we had to wait 10 minutes for someone else to show up and help her with the refund. Luckily all I had was fries which were fine. I would not recommend Nightfall to anyone who asks anymore unfortunately, it is not worth what you have to pay. read more

Old Tucson - Main stage at the Grand Palace! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

we went there in 2007 and we can walk all over the place and in all the old buildings and even the area where they keep the cows. we could go to the church and the high chapparal building. now they have everything blocked off and u are only allowed main street and where the rides are. when did a studio place start to be like a fair. putting rides for kids there is not cool. it's an old studio and that's what I went to see. I didn't take my kids to a mini fair. it has changed for the worst now. I won't ever go back. it used to be cool but if u like mini fairs then good for u. read more

I absolutely loved visiting Old Tucson. We watched 3 shows and all were very entertaining! The atmosphere is so beautiful and there is so much to do. We were there for 5 hours and wasn't bored for a single second. I took so many awesome pictures and you really feel like you're walking back in time. All the staff were absolutely spectacular! So kind, engaging, and made you feel at home! It's an awesome place to take the family for a unique and memorable experience. Food was also a plus! Will be back hopefully for Nightfall! read more

Remember the HBO show Deadwood? It was one of my favorites. As a longtime die-hard fan of Westerns, I was thrilled to find that the newly reopened Old Tucson had been cleaned up, revamped, and become eerily reminiscent of one of my all-time favorite shows. So much so that there's a particular actor roaming the grounds who I SWEAR is Calamity Jane. I mean, her mannerisms are *chefs kiss* perfect. While I WISH this theme park was open on a more regular basis and for a more reasonable entrance fee, I understand that the new owners are taking a different approach from the former. I am hoping that the increased ticket price is reflected in better compensation for the actors, as they certainly deserve it! My children (3&5) LOVED the stunt show and the comedic take on A Christmas Carol. The train ride was lovely. All the staff members we encountered were friendly, welcoming, and acted the part! (Western accents and all!). Great for kids or for a fun date night! We're hoping Old Tucson makes it so we can come back next year. Don't forget your cowboy boots! read more

We were turning around and didn't realize we were in the exit only side. Two workers were walking up to the gate to close it (right when I was making a u turn) and one of them started yelling at us. We were NO WHERE near them or the gate. One of the workers yelled 'f*cking idiots' and flipped us off. My friend made a signal that we were turning around and the worker continued to mouth off at us while closing the gate. We could read her lips very clearly. I can't believe this is an employee here!! This happened on Thursday, June 6th, 2024 at closing time. I would think management would want to know about this. read more

So disappointing. I've been going to Old Tucson since the 1960's. One of my favorite attractions was the old cars that kids got to drive. It was the main reason my husband and I treated the kids/grandkids to Old Tucson last week. The first shock was the admission price for 2 adults (plus rides) 2 adults (no rides) one child (plus rides) one child free. $179. Just to walk through the gates. They didn't tell you they were attaching $30 worth of "processing fees" to the price of the listed admission prices. So, the grandkids got to ride the small train (with their parents) Carousel (with their parents) Stagecoach (with their parents.) That was the ride part of the admission ticket that I paid $34 extra for the parents to ride with their 4 & 6 year old. children. So from there, we went to the "Antique Cars" which was far from up and running. There was a sign (it was there 2 years ago when we went) that said "Coming Soon" THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON WE WERE GOING! They couldn't have told you that before you bought the tickets? We saw that they had Buckaroo Days advertised, which we thought would be fun for the kids. It was a bucket with 12 cheap plastic snakes that kids tried to throw in another bucket. There was a hay-bale maze that you took cheap plastic horses (not even nice stick horses) through a maze. Then there was the skeet ball where the kid tried to roll plastic balls up a splintered wood incline. There was a steer roping attraction, but kids couldn't fit on the steers. Honestly, I've been to school carnivals that had better games. Speaking of games, they had the Carnival row of about 5 games where you try to throw balls in various containers. My grandkids wanted to win a stuffed animal. You had to pay extra. For $12 they each got 3 Wiffle balls. Of course they got a consolation prize of a Dollar store stuffed animal. And the panning of gold, that used to be included in Admission, you had to pay for. There were wooden cut-out with the face hole cut-outs for photo ops. The cut-outs were so high, even us shorter adults couldn't fit reach to put our face in. There was one gun fight in the 2 hours we were there. We ate lunch there and yes, very expensive. That's to be expected. But then later we got little bags of Dot ice cream...$8 a bag. I'm not knocking the people that work there, they were friendly and did their job. But seriously, it is an embarrassment now. And unsafe. Don't charge Disneyland prices for something that is such low quality. read more

Yee haw! Get a taste of the Wild Wild West, or at least how Hollywood sees it! That's right, Old Tucson is the set for numerous movies throughout the years. There's quite a variety too! Scenes from films such as Tombstone, Young Guns 2, Night of the Lepus (I.e., megabunnies with sharp pointy teeth. What are they doing in the Old West? Beats me.), Revenge of the Nerds, Little Arliss (The sequel to Ol' Yeller- how does one make a sequel to Ol' Yeller??) and The Three Amigos were all filmed here. There was even a Russian rap music video filmed here, how random is that? The "town" itself is pretty small. Without taking any of the tours or seeing the shows you'll probably be done looking at everything in an hour or two. As a result, there are shows dispersed throughout the day so that those that want to spend the full day here can go from show to show. The staff at the gift stores try to encourage you to see the shows and will discourage you from shopping there if there is a performance coming up. I don't necessarily want to see all the shows so they made me feel weird for wanting to shop in their store while something was going on. We came here mainly because Old Tucson is a very dog friendly attraction. Water bowls are dispersed throughout the park and everyone was so kind to our pups. Tricki had a marvelous time but shy dogs might not enjoy all the crowds and unfamiliar noises. My other dog Kota didn't like the park too much but he is a fan of quiet and solitude. Out of all that we saw and experienced I enjoyed the morning tour the most. Our guide was Marty. It was fascinating hearing him talk about all the different movies and commercials that were filmed here, and the interesting tidbits of information he had about each one. I thought it was very cool he was even part of the cast in some of the movies. The gift stores offer a variety of cowboy items, Old Tucson merchandise, and locally produced goods. They even have dog merchandise too! You know you want an Old Tucson bandana for your barking bandito. Overall it was a fun experience! P.S. A performer in one of the comedy acts walked by, looked at Tricki the papillon and said "Rats sure are getting a lot bigger these days" LOL.

Well if you 5 year olds that don't like being scared than maybe it is worth the money. The new people that took over, ruined nightfall. No haunts, no scares, even the live shoes were dull and the food overpriced and poor quality. No wagon ride only thing you had was train and merry go around. If they plan on doing another one in the future they better go back to their roots. read more

Be warned, this is not the Nightfall we know and love. This year it has turned into an "immersive theatrical experience" set in the late 1800s (yawn). The idea on its own is not bad. You walk in and are immediately encouraged to talk to the townspeople to get the story of several people in the town who have gone missing, and then put together clues to solve the mystery. However, we didn't get that far because one guy talked our ear off about absolutely nothing and didn't advance the plot at all, so we gave up and moved on to the haunts. 2019 was the last year I went to Nightfall as well as my first time and I had sooo much fun. I was scared to the point of hitting the ground. Im of the opinion that if I'm paying $45 for a haunted house, I better die. These haunts did not live up to that. There were some cool visuals but not very scary. I probably only screamed about 3 times in total. The haunted houses also had nothing to do with the "plot" of nightfall and felt very disjointed from that whole idea. The last attraction we went on seemed like it had a lot of potential. They call it "Nightmare Walk". The train drops you in the middle of the desert and you have to walk through a bunch of zombies to get to the church where it feels like you're in a scene straight out of Midnight Mass. Cool? Yes. Immersive? Relatively. Scary? Absolutely not. Ultimately I will say I'm disappointed. However, I gave it two stars because I think it has potential for people who are into that kind of thing. If things were a bit more cohesive I think your average old person/theater nerd would get a huge kick out of the "murder mystery" element. Unfortunately, I'm the type of person who goes to Nightfall to be chased by a clown with a chainsaw and probably will not return next year if it stays the same. read more

Its been a while since I visited, but as I didn't review it then, I will now. GREAT place and one of the few examples of well used studios that haven't been turned into tract housing. If you are a lover of film, go see it and take it in. read more

Literally can't get give it a higher rating as it wasn't opened. Now you may think that it's unfair to rate a place that wasn't open but here's the thing: Nowhere on the website is it listed that THEY ARE CLOSED ON TUESDAY! We checked, believe me, we checked before planning our trip and driving 4 hours round-trip to get here, we checked the hours. Nothing ANYWHERE about this place being closed on Tuesday. Looks like a fun place. Shame that they have a complete moron in charge of the website. read more

Visited Saturday for their Xmas program. I understand it's a western set-up, but it sure would have been nice if they watered the grounds. It was extremely dusty! Nothing is really different from other months. The park was decorated for Xmas, added the short hay ride with Xmas music, a Xmas skit and a few Xmas characters. Food is themed parked priced. But over all, for the cost of admittance, it was not all that... read more

Be aware they haven't updated their website and there are only $16 hour long walking tours until Jan 20th. After Jan 20th, 2024 they open the rides again and have old west shootouts. read more

Overpriced in my opinion, but still a really cool place to check out if you can spare it. To start, there are long lines to get in and once you're in, lines just as long to get into the haunted houses...even longer lines for drinks(but the bartenders have a heavy hand, so yay for that)! It's definitely not like it used to be, there are ZERO "horror" actors walking around which was something I was expecting. The actors(non horror) that were walking around were lovely and great with the kids, so there's that. Finally decided to wait in line for the train and right as we got up front the train "broke down". Not a budget friendly place for families, but if you can afford it it's an experience. read more

Fun, touristy place. Nice to get to see what the Old West looked like. Cute buildings to enter-- a theatre, jail house, church, school etc. You can enjoy here for 2 hours or so. They are dog friendly, as long as the dogs remain outside. There are also a couple of restaurants here with indoor and outdoor seating. We loved getting the turkey legs and sitting outside. My mom (in her 60s) really liked walking around their museum to see all the Old West films that were made here. Me (in my 30s) wasn't quite as entertained, but it was still a good time. read more

Old Tucson - Amusement Parks Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I was extremely hesitant to complain but the fact is I came with my family to visit and experience Nightfall. Let's just say it wasn't the hype it made itself out to be. Coming in I was already upset, my wife had to lift her shirt for a female security guard named Monica who said "deal with it" when I asked if it was necessary. So I let it go because our kids were excited to get in. Once we got in I saw two security guards whose names were Chris and Frank they looked very unprofessional and sloppy and smelled like alcohol. I approached them to ask them if what the security guard Monica did was in their protocol for pat downs and metal detectors because the other two weren't doing that, they looked at me aggressively and Frank asked what do I want. He was rude and his buddy was just glaring at me. I asked him my question and he said she (Monica) can do whatever she wants. Is this how old Tucson allows security to conduct themselves? I asked an other employee by the name of Laura, what the name of the supervisor is of security so that I can file a complaint. I explained to her what happened and she said she will handle it. I again asked her the name and she sidestepped the question. This is very unacceptable the way they handle and conduct themselves. I waited to put this on yelp because I will be contacting American Heritage Railroads who is the contract holders of Old Tucson. Nightfall itself was very disappointing. The shows were great but they ran out of food and the train didn't run. I have to say though looking at the male security to the women security, I would have to say the women were professional in not only conduct but attire as well. I encourage those that had similar problems should not hesitate to express their opinions on here as well as American Heritage Railroads, their employees were very unprofessional. read more

I really dont understand what happened to this place. This is a famous movie location. It should be an active studio...yet they seem to be focusing on a theme park with a lot of kid amusements. I mean...I came for movie history and while there is a small walking tour and some posters up around the place...it's looking more like a theme park than a backlot. I know they had a fire years ago...but why hasn't anything been rebuilt? So now it's triple the cost and half the park? Where is the historic Reno Locomotive? Someone said it was sold. Why on earth did they sell that? And if so why not bring in another one? That entire area is blocked off anyways. Burned down? I remember they had a cool soundstage tour. But that burned down and wasn't rebuilt. People come here to see a real-looking western town with movie lore and history. This is not that. No wonder no movies film here anymore. It doesn't even look authentic. Why didn't the rebuild the sets that people recognize like from the Three Amigos, Tombstone, Little House on the Prairie? Some new building called the Grand Palace is so big it looks fake. So does the Courthouse which I guess are the only two new buildings. I dont think the owners realize people come for the movies. Someone needs to school them on what Old Tucson is...or was. Why would the City of Tucson let someone who knows nothing about film run this place? I don't get it. Just makes for a very expensive half day walking in literally a ghost town of what used to be. read more

Nightfall Resurrected was a blast last night. They must have really stepped up (or reanimated? Haha) their game since last/ opening weekend--and since last year-- after some bad reviews. The haunted houses were fun and well-staffed, the music, lighting and fog throughout the park were effectively creepy, the wandering zombies and scarers were great, the gargoyles were comically interactive, and the saloon's Festival... revue and arena's Grand Finale... Hyde stunt-show were entertaining (and just a little campy)-- not nearly as lackluster or melodramatic as they have been in the past. I just miss the walk through the wash-area from years ago en route to the far eastern side of the park, but that was it. Also, we never found The War Zone (Maybe that's just Main Street?) or The Boneyard scare-zones (We though they'd be haunted houses, too), and it looks like The Butcher Giants is really just a general zone for those scarers on stilts near The Wolves Den. No charge for parking this year, and the crowds were light last night, thanks to last week's critics (?), so need for the RIP passes to jump the lines. The Metabolic... line was the longest, but that was maybe just 20 minutes. I'd recommend getting there earlier than we did at 8, though, so you can do the other 6 shows, the seance, the fortune-telling/ tarot readings, and then a 2nd round of the haunted houses before everything wraps up at 11:30. Thanks again, Nightfall! We had a great time. read more

Old Tucson - Amusement Parks Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Way overpriced! Come early to see all 3 shows. Plan to stay at least 4-5 hours in order to do so - and to "get your money's worth". Personally, I can't justify the cost. If you are really "into" the "Old West", AND have a car and some time to explore, consider visiting Tombstone, instead. read more

I'd never gone before because it just seemed like too much trouble, but this year we managed it - and I will go again every year! It was SUPER fun, with several scary mazes set up and some great performances and stunt shows. There was also a mystery to solve, which is optional, but we did it by the end of the night. We had some spirited debates about who was lying and who was being honest, and there was a cipher code to solve. The mazes were awesome, perfectly scary, HUGE shout-out to the great scare actors (including the Reverend, well done sir), who knew exactly when to jump and how far, and when to sit quietly. At one point I dropped my phone in a maze and security was super nice and helpful getting it back to me (shoutout also to the Dullahan, you ROCK) without even making me feel bad about this little faux pas, thank you sirs! The one thing I wish for was that the refreshments were restocked properly, with lemonade and sassparilla and not just standard sodas, and the coffee shop and fudge shop need back their coffee and fudge respectively. But I understand that they probably aren't fully stocked yet. Good selection of alcoholic drinks. So glad you are back, Old Tucson! See you again soon! read more

We took the drive out to Old Tucson. It was kind of a last minutes decision. Well the drive is absolutely beautiful going through the mountains & all the panoramic vista's. Once there, your not sure it's going to be worth it..From the outside, it doesn't appear to be a large place.. Then comes the cost. We're seniors and it was $42.00 to walk in. Now, if it were the kind of park that had rides, the cost is cheap. But, there are no rides, a few attractions such as a, Knots Berry Farm like, Birdcage Theatre, a few gunslingers and a stunt show. That's all that's included. If you want to go on the stagecoach, extra, ride the horses, extra & of course the food is always extra. But in this case, there's not much of a selection. I'm just being honest. Yet with all that, we enjoyed it & recommend going, as long as you understand what your getting into & realize you'll have seen it all in about 2 1/2 - 3 hours tops... Still I give it a 4 out of 5 stars. read more

Last week was my second visit here with the last being about 5 years ago. Both times, I have thoroughly enjoyed coming here. Since my last visit very little has changed which is good. I noticed that some of the music sung in the Grand Palace Saloon is different as you would expect. They should change some of the acts over time to keep people coming back. Please READ my original review as it's still accurate however I will add a few more points. I still believe that this attraction is worth arriving at the opening (10:00 a.m.) and staying until closing (5 p.m.). They have skits, western life educational sessions, shopping, eating and sightseeing opportunities offered all day. When you enter (and you can see it online) get that days schedule (on paper) that gives you times and descriptions of that days activities. Be sure to take one of the free Old Tucson Historic tours offered 3 times per day. This gives you the best single understanding of this movie lot and how it has been used. The best time to take the tour is shortly after opening (10 a.m.) to get it out of the way so that it doesn't conflict with other activities later in the day. There are 3 musical shows each day in the Grand Palace Saloon. Go to each one as they are different and offer you the chance to be entertained indoors while seated and out of the weather and enjoying a beverage and/or snack if you want. In the afternoon there is a Hollywood Stunt Show in front of The Mission. This is probably the single best show that they put on. It is a cowboy stunt/gunfight show with a lot of humor. You will enjoy this! Take the 6 minute train ride as it encircles the compound. I believe the horse drawn stagecoach ride requires a small separate fee but is narrated. They also now offer a zip line ride (extra fee) too. In your free time between events, you can grab lunch (Big Jake's BBQ is your best option). The food options here are not gourmet but will suffice for a casual lunch wherever you choose to eat. Also there are other places for ice cream, snow cones, popcorn, etc. There are some stores here that sell western clothing, souvenirs, etc. In fact when you exit you will go through the main gift shop in case you want to pick up a memento. Remember that almost all of your outside walking will be on dirt. While it is well maintained your shoes can get a little dusty so keep that in mind. Of course the weekends are busiest so check their website for days that they are open. Parking is free. read more

Ive been to nightfall in the past and this years nightfall is way way different then it used to be. It got me real disappointed when i figured out there were no scare actors because thats what really made the place fun. Its just not like how it used to be with all the fun characters running around with chainsaws in a straight jacket and all that. Also miss the comedy show they used to have with the crazy clown guy he was hilarious and also the ending show they used to have with the real gory FX like the Diner skit they used to have or the Motel skit. Really hope old Tucson turns around and see what they lost because theres tons and tons of people disappointed about the same things i am. If ya'll change this mistake you guys made i promise you that your Nightfall will have more guests comin. P.S: if yall are plannin on bringing the real cool scare actors back pls bring back schizophrenia the clown he's my favorite! read more

The Spirit of the Old West begins with the drive west from Tucson on Gates Pass. Our last visit was many years ago. The Old Tucson movie studio has been expanded over the years and now includes some amusement park rides. There is something for all age groups. The history of the studio in western movies is quit interesting. The dance hall entertainment, stunt demonstration and talks about the old west are all well done. In additional there are a number of choices for food and refreshments. read more

A Tucson tradition that has been ruined. Please don't call this nightfall, it's not what it was for many many years and that's what made it tradition. You took the most important things away for the attraction and just saw dollar signs. When you keep the name you are held to certain expectations. Change the name and start fresh and maybe your terrible reviews will turn supportive. You guys brought something so amazing for Tucson back and broke alot of hearts for those of us who are die hard yearly nightfall fans. read more

This is a fun place to spend your weekend to just stroll through the Wild West theme park and drink some cream soda ! I would suggest to plan before hand what the schedule is or even after you get the pamphlet with the timings and show details. That way you plan on zip lining with the laser target shooting or go around the park in the train , and make it back in time for the Wild West shows. The haunted house was super fun and I definitely thought it had all the scary elements, but the 9 year old kid in front of me did not think so. We spent about two hours in this place and would love to visit again ! We went there a little late so did not have a chance to catch a lot of shows. read more

I have lived in Az for over 40 years and this was the first time we went to Old Tucson Studios. Its a beautiful drive and parking was great (tons of parking). Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, this made for a very pleasant visit. The staff was very knowledgeable about western history and were very fun to interact with. Now, lunch is another story. 44.00 dollars for 2 brisket sandwiches, fries and onion rings (this was a 2.00 up charge) and one drink. Now the price wouldn't bother me (it is after all an amusement park) but the quality was downright bad. Brisket was grey, chewy and very fatty, the onion rings were grease soaked and cold, and the fries; they weren't too bad just not very hot, the outside tables were absolutely filthy. Overall we had a great time but the food is bad and super expensive. There is no where to eat but there unless you drive 40 minutes back to the I10, they really should take better care of their guests on that end. read more
