I love the MINERAL EXHIBIT and the aquarium exhibit. It is also a great walk through the desert with a gorgeous view. I love Botanic Gardens, but to have all the desert plants and flowers makes it unique and fascinating. SUGGESTIONS: (1) Arrive early (2) purchase the tram if you can afford it (3) save the entrance Hanger 1 for last because it is the last to close (4) come hydrated (5) Skip your gym routine the day of (6) Wear comfortable shoes (7) wear layered clothing as you will be indoor and outdoor and find yourself getting hot and cold. My guess, it is way too hot and they probably have too many people experiencing heat stroke. I was there for over 3 hours and know I could have been there much longer if I was to read all the rhetoric available.įYI: They close early in the summer. PRICE: The $18 charge (circa early 2022) came to be well worth it. I get the feeling the staff understand the amount of energy and time it takes to ingest all the information and view all the sites this museum has to offer. There is a restaurant on site, plenty of opportunities for the restroom, tons of free water fountains scattered about, and even more seating in the form of benches, chairs, and picnic tables. You see everything from helicopters, jets, single prop planes, medical transports, presidential planes, cargo planes, old military jeeps, memorabilia, insignia and tons more. This place is massive! I was told there is a combined 80 acres of indoor and outdoor space dedicated to aircrafts and more. Overall, very fun and highly recommended. Prices inside the gift shop are on par with most everything else in Tombstone, though they do also have some exclusive merchandise being that they're the actual O.K. Also, for fans of the movie (which I'd assume most everyone visiting Tombstone to begin with probably are), there are some props inside the store to read up on and admire. The staff inside the store are fun to talk with and very nice. Pictures with the actors are welcomed after the show which always makes the little kids go crazy. The gun fight is about 20 - 30 minutes and very entertaining, audience participation is encouraged like applauding the deputies and booing the cowboys for an added comical touch and they all have fun with it.
Go early that way you don't miss the show, as they are known to sell out especially during peak seasons and weekends. There are a few areas in Tombstone to see staged gun fights, but this one is by far the most recommended based on the fact that it's the OG and happens at the actual O.K. It's free to go inside the main shop but you have to pay $10 per person to explore the back courtyard and stables and the main draw: the staged gun fight. Tombstone is known for this very spot, so it's obviously a must if you come to Tombstone. Plenty of parking but RVs would have a tough time maneuvering to anything but the half-dozen spots in the RV lot.Īlso note the closest gas is about 18 miles away in Fredericksburg, and there is little to no cell service in much of the park (for Verizon and T-Mobile). Also, watch for snakes, we had a rattler on the Loop Trail when we went. There are vault toilets along the Loop Trail. Note that you need reservations for timed entry and weekends are way busier than weekdays.Īlso, there is rustic camping available both near the parking lot and off of the hiking trails.īring plenty of water because there is little shade anywhere. Several other trails offer different experiences, too, but we'll have to check those out another day. We also did the Loop Trail, which is about 4.6 miles around the outside of the Granite Dome and it offers various views of the dome from different angles, which was neat to see. Take your time to enjoy the views and the rock formation itself and you'll be able to make it. The Summit Trail to the top is a leg-burner at times but well worth the half-mile effort. Plenty to see and do here on multiple hiking trails.
