Price wasn't great, but the actual historical aspect of it was worth it. The actors were incredibly friendly, expected the audience to become involved in the drama, and helped to put the actual events of the O.K. Corral into context. There was something pretty intense standing on the same soil that American history was made, and watching the actors portray the quick and dirty gun fight (which lasted a very short amount of time, as it should have compared to the Hollywood version) gave the entire showcase a very authentic feel. Was really great that they all waited to pose for photo's and gave the audience as much time as they needed after the show.If you took the time to travel to Tombstone, you have to make this a priority as this put the location on the map.
This is what we came to see; the OK Corral which Hollywood has immortalized in so many movies. This is a must see when visiting Tombstone and the entertainers here did not disappoint. They were very friendly, entertaining, and talked about the historical accounts of the 30 second event. Overall, the price of the show includes a copy of the historical Tombstone paper, a visit through the corral's collection of historical wagons and memorabilia and the gun fight we all go to see. There is no mistaking when the shotgun shows up. Good Job guys; it was a blast!
This is where they reenact the gunfight at the ok coral. They really put on a good show. There is a small admission fee but well worth it.
Actors were very realistic and friendly. Spent plenty of time after the show to have picture taken with the family. Good value
The O.K. Corral and gunshots was amazing. For amature actors, they portrayed the scene perfectly and included the audience as a humor-filled effect. I highly recommend this if you're ever down in Tombstone, AZ!
Two additions to other comments. Be sur and see the diorama before the show it's worth it and explains the whole history of the town. Included with gunfight ticket. We saw this at 11:30 and the shootout at 12:00. Worked out great. Get tickets early to avoid line.
Watching the re-enactment was exciting. I was raised on westerns, and this provided a very personal experience. It was great!
Tombstone is a tourist trap, and the OK Corral is part of that spirit. But if you're good with that, then it's a fun way to spend an hour, and relatively inexpensive considering what's charged at these types of attractions. The acting is extra-cheesy, but the players seem to be having fun with the audience, so it works. The mini-museums are surprisingly informative, worth the time to go through.
The OK Corral is fronted by a shop that sells souvenirs, snacks and tickets to the shows. The gun fight is in the Corral section that is found by going to the back of the shop and entering the corral with its many displays and western artifacts, one of which is a saddle that belong to one of the Earp's. There are many interesting things to read about and see besides the gunfight show.
It was well worth the flight and car ride there just for this show. The actors compared to the movie and was the best part of our trip there.
