July 4th weekend, the wife and I were visiting Tombstone. We noticed a couple of cowboys in the street trying to get people to buy tickets for the shootout that was coming up. Warm and muggy outside vs. an air-conditioned theater. Plus, it really sounded like fun. So we bought our tickets. This wasn't your average, everyday staged shootout. They put on a great show and kept the crowd informed of the details of each scenario. Well worth the ticket price (which wasn't really that much!). We WILL go again!

This is a great gunfight experience! Reasonably priced, they strive for historical accuracy and it shows. The actors reenact several actual gunfights that occurred in Tombstone. All of the actors appear as genuine gunfighter down to the details of gun handling, dress, accents and manor. The small theater allows them to deliver their well rehearsed lines in natural volume and intonation. And the audience is invited up afterwards for some really great pictures! If you only have time for one activity while visiting Tombstone, this is it.

The Gunfight Palace was a fun, insightful stop during our trip to Tombstone. The actors are friendly, likable and look just like you would imagine real cowboys looked. The action was loud and also historically accurate. We recommend stopping here if you want to be entertained and also want to learn a little about the Wild West.
