O.K. Corral, Tombstone

I missed the reenactment four times over two days but heard it. Fun place in a very beautiful area. Everything in town is privately owned by whoever's in the shop, so you have to pay for everything. But a really interesting place if you're into history or just want something different.

Wow, what a place, a gunfight and actors. The actors go to great detail to look the part and preform their roles. They stroll around the town between shows and stay in character but are very friendly and will allow you a picture with them and enjoy their work

Forget the word touristy here. Your in Tombstone which is a tourist town. An when in Tombstone how could you not visit the OK Corral. The site is interesting and as you work your way through it and learn the history of the famous gunfight you wind up at a small outdoor theatre where the gunfight is recreated. Its a lot of fun and we posed with the four main actors in costume for a memorable picture.

Overall, we enjoyed our OK Corral experience. The historical significance alone makes this a must-visit for adults and children as well. The re-enactment of the actual gunfight was somewhat of a disappointment to us as it seemed to be geared more toward younger audiences and was 'touristy' in nature. It's completely understandable it would be presented in this way in order to attempt to keep the attention of the audience but we thought it detracted from the importance of the gunfight from a historical perspective. That said, we would still recommend attending one of the re-enactment performances.

Yes, touristy and yes, still lots of fun. Prices were decent for being able to see shows without paying an arm and a leg. Also lots of fun to mosey around and look at things in Tombstone. Recommend talking to the folks who are there selling things, acting in shows, and waiting on customers - you get lots of cool stories that way!
