  The most interesting thing about Tombstone is that folks are dressed in western outfits with pistols in the holsters and the like. One can take a tour in a horse drawn carriage or simply stroll the streets. I liked that the streets are closed off to cars from north to south. It's a neat place to take a day off. One word of caution: there are signs everywhere about restrictions to bathrooms. There is a public park on the north side of the town with a public bathroom. Other than restaurants, they are hard to find. If I was the mayor or head of tourism; I would build a few more around the place.

  At first glance it looks pretty historic but then you start to stroll down the street and realize its tourist city. Every kind of junk store you can imagine. Not unexpected though. A few good locations that sell native American art and the storefronts are very Tombstoney looking. Many of the saloons are quite interesting inside with many doo-dads from the past. Worth it cause it is Tombstone.

  This is a must see. If you are interested in the wild west this is the place to visit. It is like walking back into the past. There is a ton of restaurants in the original buildings. You can even take a stagecoach ride. If shopping is your thing to do there is alot of stores selling anything and everything you could ever want. People also walk around in period costume. It is truly a must to visit.

  The first thing I was told by one of the people conducting the Mine Tour was, "When this street was in it's heyday, up to three thousand women of the night were playing their wares on this road." Quite a mental thought as you went from shop to shop. The road itself was clean, very well maintained and the shops were open and welcoming (and every single one had a reminder that you couldn't bring firearms into the establishment).As far as outdoor markets go this is one of my favorite. Every shop had something worth browsing, and the actors in role walking the streets added that extra little touch that wrapped up the experience. Take some time to slowly browse while eating the homemade Ice Cream, you won't regret it.

  Allen Street is mostly restaurants and shops but still fun to browse through. Informative signs along the street. I like that it is close off to traffic. Enjoyed looking at the storefronts too. Lots of workers dressed in attire from the era makes it fun along with the stagecoaches too. Lots of things to do around Allen Street - gunfights, museums, mine tours.

  Allen Street in Tombstone.... lots of shops to drop into and browse. As you're walking down the wood plank boardwalks you'll be passed by horse drawn wagons and cowboys waiting for the big showdown sure to come. Yes, the shops are tourist traps, but what do you expect? These folks are friendly and trying to make a living. Give them a break, be nice back and buy some postcards or a coon-skin cap for that nephew back home. Allen Street is a lot of fun if you let it happen.

  Boy. The reviews about Tombstone (and Allen St.) are all over the map. Sure the town is a tourist trap. But so is Disneyland. Take it for what it is, a machine to suck money out of our wallets and purses.Let’s face it. Most of us go/will go to Tombstone because of Hollywood and its wildly inaccurate movies about the OK Corral psychopaths who shot at each other in 1881 (some died immediately; some were murdered later). Maybe there’s another reason, something I’ve seen infect tourists across the world: the need to get to the end of the highway, whether it’s Key West or Provincetown (in the US), Dawson City (in Canada), Land’s End (in England) or Istanbul (the terminus of the Orient Express). It’s the pull of the end of the highway. And, while Tombstone isn’t the literal end of the highway, it’s close. Its name is Tombstone for heaven’s sake. What’s closer to the end that that?So enjoy your visit (or not). Go to Bronco Mercantile on Allen St. to buy some cowboy boots in a store that must have the best selection in Arizona. Talk to the owner, Maureen, who really knows her leather. And, while the women shop for shoes, the men should mosey down to the Crystal Palace, buy some beer, chat up the waitresses and watch the endless loop of Tombstone (with Val Kilmer) on the TV beside the huge, and beautifully, restored bar.Tombstone is a bucket list item that won’t change your life. But with the right frame of mind it’s fun.

  Allen Street is mostly gift shops, interesting to browse. Costs in some shops over the top but there are bargains in some. One yogurt shop had sugar-free!
