I lived in Tucson from 1977 to 1982. I remember going there and how neat it was. Now I am grown with two kids. I took my wife and daughter before my son was around and now we are looking to go again. We live in so cal and have Disney annual passes, but both kids are begging me to go to Tucson and old Tucson. Go figure the place I grew up at and environment I love to live in makes my kids excited and wanting to know more… Wow.. I really hope I can make it work to visit really soon.

I grew up on a Tucson horse ranch on Mission Road in the 50s & 60s. While I can’t count the times I have been to Old Tucson with family and friends, it along with The Arizona Sonora Desert Museum is one of the greatests things to visit in Tucson. I was saddened when I learned the Old Tucson Movie Studios had burned down, but am so pleased to know how well it has been rebuilt. The shops and restaurants were terrific, but the shows and gunfights were always are the greatest – along with all the actors and staff. Although I am now 63 and live far away in San Antonio, Texas and don’t get back much – I will always enjoy watching movies and identifying various sites there at Old Tucson; knowing when movies were made there.

I have a photo of me sitting on Smiley Burnett’s knee at age four and was an extra in John Wayne’s Red River (made east of Tucson at a Ranch near Texas Canyon) when I was just 2 1/2 months old. Those memories and those of Old Tucson will always be special to me.

On vacation from England visted the studio and became a 68 year old kid stepping back in time when we used to go to the movies and watch our heroes.Well worth the money liked everything about it, even saw a coyote in the car park waiting for us all to go home. Will vivt again when next in Arizona,

The shows were entertaining – I was taken up on stage in the Miss Kitty’s can-can show! It was pretty sweet!

The first time I visited Old Tucson Studios was in June of 1993. I’ve visited several times since. However, my first visit was the most memorable. When I was watching the introductory film that is shown to visitors when they first enter the park, we were told that a movie was being made on that day and the actors would be breaking for lunch in about a half hour. He said the movie was titled TOMBSTONE with Sam Elliott and Kurt Russell. Needless to say the visitors were excited about the possibilities of seeing one of them. We hung around the studio entrance as several actors came out from filming to, of all things, use the restrooms. When the actors came out, we exclaimed, “I KNOW I’ve seen that person before” but we just couldn’t place the name. (Buck Taylor WAS one I recognized.) Later, they went across the street to eat lunch which was catered in the rear. I went around to the rear “picnic area” … sure enough standing there in line getting his food was Sam Elliott. We exchanged “hellos” as I let him go eat his lunch. Whenever I watch TOMBSTONE (which has been a multitude of times since 1993) I see the sets in the movie knowing I was there! Old Tucson Studios is a really neat place. I do hope to return in the future.

Not a great place for small children The gunfire was too much for my little ones and they were really frightened. Other than that the adults had a great time. Super fun place to visit! Caution: Tucson passport says it is open until 6 PM but it actually closes at 4 PM. Be sure to call ahead of time.
