O.K. Corral, Tombstone

Grew up watching westerns, wanting to be a cowgirl and ride off into the sunset. I knew at some point tho, I must visit Tombstone. One of the few places where history and time stand still in this digital age. You can see a live reenactment of the shootout by men who could easily pass for the real deal. An educational and entertaining visit.

We enjoyed the experience and were glad we went. Parking is free but after that everything it is going to cost you. We took in the fight at the OK Corral which was interesting and fun, I had no idea the actual gun fight was done and over with in under a minute more like 30 seconds. Our tickets to the OK shootout also included a newspaper from the day and a 30 min narrated movie about the history of Tombstone. Lots of shops and some cafes or saloons. Stagecoach rides with a history talk and characters wandering around the town. Worth visit but take a full wallet.

there are two gun fight shows. Don't get fooled by the "comically hysterical" version. The show at OK Corral had its funny parts but provided a historically accurate confrontation between the cowboys and the law men. This is worth no more than a 90 minute drive to get to. Anymore, you should do something else.

I visited the OK Corral about 27 years ago and it was definitely more fun then than now. Now it feels like a tourist trap. The gun fight is NOT held in the streets where it would feel more realistic. Instead, they lead you back behind the building where you sit on metal bleachers and watch a skit. $10/p for a very short reenactment. Not worth the price at all.
