Today we headed to Old Tucson Studios. It is an old movie studio now an old west town theme park. It was originally built for the Movie Arizona in 1939. Many movies and TV shows were later filmed there such as Little House on the Prairie and High Chaparral
It opened to the Public in 1960. Buildings were added one by one with each movie filmed there. In 1995 a fire destroyed much of it including memorabilia and Costumes.
The Palace hotel has several skits and shows. This was a travelling medicine man comedy show, followed by a Burlesque Show
A lot of walking around, Gary when he's dead tired, can nap anywhere!
There are stage coach rides, train ride, Mine tours, Antique Car rides, horseback riding and more
They even re-enacted a scene from The Quick and the Dead
Even the restrooms fit right in
Again, we spent 4 hours there and could have done more!
Till Later!
Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n
Melissa, Gary & Tucson

I feel Old Tucson could be better, but it needs a total overhaul and management currently is in the way
