Top Things to Do in Tombstone 🏛

1. Watch a Wild West Gunfight Show 🔫🎩

Start your visit with a bang — literally!

The streets of Tombstone are famous for their gunfight reenactments at the O.K. Corral.

Don't worry, it’s all safe, fun, and family-friendly.

You'll cheer, laugh, and maybe even boo the “bad guys.”

Pro Tip: Stick around after the show to meet the actors! (They love taking silly photos with

kids. 🤠📸)

2. Step Inside a Real Saloon 🍻 (Root Beer for the Kids!)

Pop into Big Nose Kate’s Saloon, a historic spot full of live music and old-timey charm.

While adults enjoy a hearty meal or iced tea, kids can sip on root beer and check out all

the wild decor.

It's a great way to soak up Tombstone’s lively spirit — without needing a time machine!

3. Visit the Tombstone Courthouse Museum 🏛⚖️

Learning history has never been this cool!

At the Courthouse Museum, you’ll discover old wagons, frontier jails, and real stories of

sheriffs, cowboys, and miners.

It’s educational and fun — and parents, you’ll love that the kids will be learning without

even realizing it. 😉

4. Wander Through Boot Hill Cemetery ⚰️🌵

It may sound spooky, but Boot Hill is a must-see!

This famous graveyard tells the tales of Tombstone’s rough-and-tumble past.

There are funny, weird, and even touching stories written right on the gravestones.

(Just imagine your kids’ wide eyes reading “Here lies Lester Moore, four slugs from a .44!”

 😲)

Tombstone isn’t just for strolling — it’s a gateway to awesome outdoor adventures!

• Ride Horses at Tombstone Monument Ranch: Channel your inner cowboy with a guided trail ride!

• Explore the Desert Flora and Fauna: Watch for prickly cacti, colorful lizards, and maybe even a road runner or two! 🏃‍♂️🌵

Psst… staying active in dry desert air is great for cardiovascular health — just pack that

water bottle! 🥤💦
