We had a really good time at the OK Corral. The gunfight reenactment was so much better than I had expected. The museum collection was impressive. I wish we had spent a little more time there. So much to see.

So much fun! The gun fight was Awesome. Perfect for a family day. There are three shows a day retelling the gun fight at O.K. Corral. There is also a mini museum of the history of Tombstone's hayday 😉

The show was worth the price of entry ($10 pp over 5). Very comical but the history lesson behind it was very interesting as well. My children 10, 8, & 5 all stayed entertained the whole 30 min. Gun shots are loud in the "arena"

We had such a great time at the show. It was funny, the acting was amazing, and it kept us entertained from beginning to end. After the show we went on a tour and learned so much about the history of Tombstone. The guide made everything easy to understand and very interesting. It is a fun and educational experience for all ages. We truly enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tombstone.

Very entertaining with comic relief. Guns shoot blanks and can be scary to small children (like 2 and under for sure). Lots of fun places before you enter for kids to climb and play. Lots of photo opportunities.

Very fun place, with a great history lesson, and the gunfight reenactment was entertaining to watch. The walk through museum outside was informative and interesting. Definitely worth the price of the ticket!

There us more history than just the gun fight at the OK coral on Oct 26, 1881. It's all great and you feel like you can almost touch it.

I have a great imagination, and I look/read everything at a museum. First, the 7 minute movie I was watching was ruined by the sound of a jackhammer right outside the window. Then, my museum experience was ruined yet again because the staff felt it was important to store current day goods next to or in the midde of the displays. Because of disruption and ruination of my experience, I thought the fee was a little high, but understand that money is needed to protect our history. There is a sign on the door that warned of noisy construction, but nowhere was there a sign that said, "As your thoughts take you back in time, and your daydreaming about court house shenanigans in the 1800's, never mind the 2025 polo shirts hanging out next to the judges desk." Now, imagine my eye roll.

Visiting Tombstone Courthouse State Park is a great experience stepping back in time to the Old West..The abandoned town lives again with a museum..reenactment and a real west feeling.☆☆☆☆☆

You can feel the history in this building in every room. I recommend sitting in the courtroom for a few moments and imagine the things that were said or yelled in that room.

Great real history of Tombstone! Informative and interesting displays.

Very nice old courthouse with lots of authentic artifacts. Worth visiting.

It's a great way to spend the day! I felt like I was taken back in time!

Surprised this is ran by the state and totally worth the entry fee, better than the rose museum

This theatre offers a truly unique and thrilling ghost-hunting experience, and I absolutely loved it! The biggest highlight by far was the woman who led the tour she was incredible. Her energy, storytelling, and deep knowledge of the local history made the entire experience feel authentic and captivating. She brought just the right mix of spookiness, humor, and historical insight, keeping everyone engaged the whole time. The atmosphere of the theatre added to the eerie charm, and the ghost-hunting equipment made it feel interactive and fun. Even if you're a skeptic, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement. Overall, it was a memorable and entertaining night, and I’d highly recommend it especially thanks to the amazing guide who truly made the experience come alive.

The Birdcage Theatre – Tombstone, Arizona If Tombstone is the heart of the Wild West, then the Birdcage Theatre is its cathedral. Think of it as the Lambeau Field of football or the Carnegie Hall of music—the place where history, legend, and atmosphere all come together. Many museums claim “nothing has been touched” over the years, but few deliver. The Birdcage does—and in spades. Walking inside feels like stepping directly into the 1880s. Hundreds of authentic items remain in place from nearly 150 years ago. The rooms, the furniture, even the air carries the weight of the stories that shaped the American West. It’s not just a museum—it’s living history. On a personal note, I experienced something here I’ve never felt elsewhere. While exploring the basement on a daytime self-guided tour, I had a haunting encounter I can’t easily explain. I’m not someone who buys into things quickly, but this one gave me chills. If you’re interested in the paranormal, this place more than delivers. Overall, this is the experience of Tombstone. Worth every bit of the entrance fee, even in the 2020s. Take your time, let the history sink in, and if you only see one thing in Tombstone, make it the Birdcage. I’ll be returning—again and again.

My husband and I are avid travelers and obsessed with paranormal investigations. This did not disappoint! I know I sound crazy to some but for those that have experienced it themselves completely understand me- I walked to one side (away from the group) and immediately felt like a 50 lb weight was on my stomach. I walked towards my husband and told him what just happened, immediately took a picture of the area where I felt the unusual feeling. I captured a ghost on camera! I captured several orbs, one entire human figure and one mist over the Black Moriah. Well worth every penny and every minute spent- it was the highlight of my trip!

This is the original building of The Bird Cage Theatre. It was built in 1881 and is now a museum, but retains a lot of the original theater details. We found the exhibits fascinating and really enjoyed the museum. There is also a nice gift shop loaded with Tombstone souvenirs.

Historic, Haunting, and Totally Worth the Visit. During our trip to Tombstone, we stopped by the Bird Cage Theatre—and it did not disappoint! Hearing the history of the building, seeing the original bar still marked with bullet holes, and viewing the old paintings and artifacts really brought the Wild West to life. The stories behind the place are fascinating, and it’s incredible how much has been preserved. If you’re in Tombstone, this is definitely a must-see spot for a deeper, more vivid look at its past.

I spent a solid three hours here taking in every detail—and if they weren’t closing for the day, I would’ve stayed longer. If you’re in Tombstone and skip the Bird Cage Theatre, you’re missing out. Period. Ignore the cheapskates whining about the $18 admission—it’s worth every cent if you have even a remote appreciation for history. This place is a time capsule, and absolutely essential if you want to understand the real Tombstone.

We had alot of fun...our tour guide was really knowledgable.

Go get a newspaper here! From the OK Corral (and likely other places) you can get a deal to pickup a newspaper memento here. You should also ask for the newest print. This was a cool quick visit to see the presses and some notes of the Clum history.

We really enjoyed this place.

Wonderful little peice of print history. Fun to see the old machines. Don't forget to pick up a newspaper!

Visited this place along with three friends on a trip to Tombstone this past spring. The docent here had negative feelings about Tombstone's chasing Dodge City money (and rightfully so), but was very knowledgeable about the history of this historic town. Really enjoyed seeing all the old printing presses and equipment that is specific to that era!

Very cool place to visit and see more of Tombstone's history. Also, if you visit the OK Corral and buy a ticket there, then you can receive a free souvenir here. The staff here are very nice and full of wonderful information.

Really cool little museum. They have all the original printing presses and ink plates. Several historic prints have been maintained in glass cases. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. **You can receive a free reprint of the 1881 newspaper, with the original gunfight reports, if you attend the re-enactment at the O.K Corral.

Quaint little museum with great pictures and cool items. This was included in our tombstone okay corral tickets. You get a free newspaper when you visit.

Locals can stop in, smell the roses, sit in shady bistro tables, and have lunch! Our favorite quiet place with gorgeous flowers, hummingbirds, and the best museum. Next door to Mom & pops sandwich shop makes it easy to have a bite, out of the tourists way.

We went to see the largest tree rose in the world blooming. The rose is a spectacular sight even when it's not blooming, but seeing it in bloom was a treat. The museum is well stocked with historical items and the grounds are colorful and quaint. It's worth the $5 fee to learn about local history and get you off the main road and tourist traps.

The largest rose bush in the world is a MUST SEE! What an experience, especially for rose lovers!! This is my third time visiting the rose bush, and I will definitely be back. This time I stayed in a Rose Bush Museum suite - which has private 24 hour access to the courtyard where the rose bush resides. And I planned my visit to coincide with the rose bush's peak of full bloom. Incredible experience!

a little disappointed in this museum and the guy at the door didn't seem like he wanted to be there so why should I be therw

Very unique setup, visited a couple of times, and enjoyed seeing it in bloom. Would definitely recommend for any flower enthusiast. My wife absolutely loved seeing it as well as the smaller different color bushes. Entry was $5/person from memory and they accept debit card at the door. Interesting exhibits inside and the rose bush out back, could be in and out in a few minutes or spend as much time as you like.

We were lucky to visit when the rose bush was in bloom and it was amazing! Staff was friendly and punny😁(mention the fans and he will have you rolling). $5 for entrance (anyone over 14) and kids are free. The museum is small, but they have some amazing things. Texas Republic currency and a wooden bowling ball were something you don't see everyday. The rose bush is epic and so cool! Pictures don't do it justice and it really has to be seen in person, so that you can get a feel of how large the thing is.

The price is $5 to enter. It's worth a visit and lots of picture opportunities. The rose tree is magnificent, and in April, it's blooming season. The museum has lots of pieces, and it's well taken care of. There are lots of places to sit and enjoy the shade under the tree. There were even rose trees for sale. The gift shop had jewelry, soaps, and lotions. Soaps have ingredients from the tree.

We had such a fun time here! Late lunch on a Wednesday, we enjoyed live music (he was really good!), engaging chit-chat with a cowboy who dressed us up for pictures at the piano and behind the bar, and great service by Melanie! The food was OK, I think I picked the wrong thing, husband loved his brisket plate. The fried zucchini was thickly breaded and served with ranch. I got the sample platter as my meal but didn't care for the chips, salsa, or onion rings. The buffalo bites were good. That aside, the experience was well worth it as we had a blast!

We got into town and this was our very first stop! What a fun place! We had drinks and shared the amped up Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, that had Jalapenos and bacon and all kinds of good stuff. We upgraded our order to substitute onion rings, which were really good. Nothing was very hot, but it was good. We were seated at the bar and the bartender was super busy, so I'm guessing our order sat there for a bit. The drinks are great, especially the Bloody Mary's and their Perfect Margaritas. Yum! The atmosphere is fun and they have an elderly man playing decent songs most days. It's really the best bar in town and the others can't hold a candle to Kate's. We'd absolutely go back there again and so should you!

Big Nose Kate’s Saloon – Tombstone, AZ Imagine taking an authentic 1880s saloon and mashing it together with a modern-day dive bar—then adding loud music, lots of energy, and PG-rated fun. That’s Big Nose Kate’s. This place is lively, with good food, cold beer, and live music that keeps the atmosphere buzzing. The staff play their part too, with plenty of personality, bustled outfits, and big smiles that make the whole experience feel like a party. For me personally, the volume and high-energy vibe were a little more than I prefer, as I enjoy a quieter, more toned-down setting. But for those who love lively crowds, music, and a spirited saloon feel, this spot might be perfection. As long as you know what you’re walking into, Big Nose Kate’s delivers exactly what it promises—a five-star, high-energy adult funhouse.

Had such a great exsperiance here. Took a brother of mine to the spot for a snack and beverage and was greeted and entertained the entire time. Our waitress (pictured) was amazing and fully attentive and had great menu recommendations. Will definitely stop in again. **side note, I forgot an item on the table she may have grabbed after we left, if someone could message me here I would greatly appreciate it.

We are visiting from NY for my son’s 21st birthday. We had such an amazing time at Big Nose Kate’s during Thursday night karaoke. Everyone was friendly, the food was great, the atmosphere ever better. It is impossible not to have a great time here! When I shared that it was my son’s birthday, everyone in the place sang along and it’s a moment I’m sure he will never forget. I had a calzone which was delicious and my son had a pulled pork which he tells me was the best he’s ever had. Do yourself a favor when visiting Tombstone and be sure to stop here!

Hands down one of the BEST stops in Tombstone! The vibe hits you the second you walk in—like stepping straight into history but with way better drinks. 🍹 The food was fantastic (comfort food done right), the bar and wait staff never missed a beat, and the owner? Absolute legend. 🙌 A true host who makes you feel like you’ve been part of the family forever. The ambiance is next-level—fun, lively, and 100% Tombstone charm. If you’re in town and skip Big Nose Kate’s, you’re doing it wrong...DONT FORGET THE PICTURES (and check out the ones on the walls too!)

Tasty burgers and westerner (pulled pork) sandwiches. Onion rings were good, French fries very good. Our wait staff was very friendly, with Jasmine being particularly nice. Seating in tables on the floor and elevated in the corners. Bar area is neatly decorated with western articles. Gift shop downstairs.

We visited this restaurant over Memorial Day weekend, and it was packed with visitors—but definitely worth the wait! We had no idea this saloon was the oldest in Arizona, originally opened in 1879, which made the experience even more special. The food was amazing—especially the all-you-can-eat ribs, which were tender and full of flavor. We also tried the chicken sandwich and burgers, and both were cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was lively and authentic, with live music playing in the background, adding a great touch to the Old West vibe. If you’re in Tombstone, this historic saloon is a must-visit—for both the history and the food!

I had a great experience with the food at Crystal Palace, their steak was really good. However, the service at the bar fell short for me. The bartender wasn't very friendly and kinda seemed to ignore me. If they could work on the bartender's attitude, it would really elevate the whole experience.

Love the building and history in there. Service was meh. The food was pretty good overall, except for the old tasting corn and pouch mashed potatoes.

Great atmosphere. Waitress was great and took time with her tables even tho it was very busy. The food was cooked and made the way we asked. The vibe is historic but for some reason we didn’t feel like it. They’ve done a great job with this location. We would for sure be back.

had a Philly that was pretty good!! Best part by far were the drinks (shout out to the saloon girls behind the bar!) and the fantastic atmosphere. Special thank you to our sever Damien whose mustache was as good as his service!! We really enjoyed. Oughta come back for a game of cards ;)

I had a hamburger with thin sliced beef which was very good but everyone else reported their food to be very mediocre, or even d bad enough to return it. Very lively band & old time setting.

The waitresses were so adorable and dressed in clothing from the time! Wide selection of alcohol and the food was quick and delicious.

This is probably the worst BBQ we have ever had. We were told by a man sitting on the corner that this was rated as a "top 5 barbecue restaurant in all of Arizona," so we gave it a try. The brisket and the pulled pork had the texture of stewed meat and were dripping wet as if the meat was actually boiled. And just to be clear, I don't mean wet as in juicy, well cooked BBQ meat. The pulled pork and brisket lacked any flavor or seasoning. The ribs were super lack luster, again lacking any flavor and were dry. I really don't know how you mess up such a forgiving meat like pork ribs, but they somehow managed to do so. The chicken was the only thing that was actually seasoned well, but it was incredibly dry and could not be saved even with BBQ sauce. The spicy mac and cheese was very dry and had a grainy texture. The potato salad had good flavor, but the potatoes were undercooked and still very hard. The only thing we actually liked were the cheddar and bacon stuffed tater tots. You also place the order at a counter, so there was no real service to rate, but the cashier was fine. Overall, the food was absolutely terrible, and I would recommend you eat literally anywhere else in Tombstone

UPDATE 03/10/2023 I just removed another star because whoever responded to my review just slandered me when my visit to this restaurant was over a month ago, so they don't even recall who I was. I never raised my voice while in there. In fact, I was very polite and kindhearted, as I always am. I did not complain. And calling me a "Karen" shows they are very immature. I'm surprised they didn't call me a "boomer," too! LOL To be clear, the young lady who helped me the day I was at the restaurant was polite. But the responder on this review is lying, and clearly slandering me. *************************************** Original Review: Disappointing food, especially for the price! See photos. That is honestly all that we got. I love brisket, but not this "brisket." It is shredded beef. They do not carry sliced brisket. The chicken was mediocre at best and a small portion. The coleslaw was good, but a ridiculous price for the tiny amount. They didn't even serve butter with the Kings Hawaiian rolls (they aren't complimentary). I had to stand in line again to get it. The bathrooms and dining room appeared to be clean.

Staff was great. You order your food at the counter and they bring it out to you, super quick. Ordered the sampler platter which came with chicken, riblets, pulled pork, sausage and brisket with two sides. We chose the spicy Mac n cheese and spicy baked beans and then two rolls. Everything is a dry rub and there are about six different bbq sauces to choose from. Everything was absolutely fantastic. I will make this a stop any time I am in town. I highly recommend this place.

I thought this place was good not great. The base barbecue I was not impressed with but they had some sweet barbecue sauce you could add to the ribs and I really liked that. The young staff is nice but all over the place. Once you order the food comes out quickly which I greatly appreciated.

Me and my coworkers were greeted by the wonderful staff they have, we immediately took our sits and went through the menu. I had pull pork with three sides and a rootbeer. The BBQ here was super delicious! 😋 My buddy also had the BBQ ribs and man I wished I would've changed my order lol. Great place and they also have a pretty set-up for outside dining which I think would be great for evening dinner. All I know is whatever you order here will make you happy! Thank you guys for your wonderful services! 🙏🏼

We paid $51 for two people. The portions were tiny for that price. The pulled pork was flavorless and soggy. The burger was too pink to finish. The Mac and cheese had a layer of grease floating on top. What a waste of a meal and money!!! UPDATE AFTER RESPONSE FROM OWNER Meat portions were not tiny. Side portions were, especially when paying $4+ each for a small cup of greasy Mac and cheese and mediocre beans and potato salad. Maybe the Mac has 5 lb of cheese, but making it that greasy is not a good thing. I totally understand the burger being pink on the outside, but the inside was WAY too pink! Also, the burger and mac were the only things that had flavor. The rest was tasteless!!! Even when doused with sauce (which shouldn’t be necessary with good bbq) it was bad. Furthermore, I think that the owner should be able to take a little bit of constructive criticism rather than getting defensive and insulting customers when responding to reviews. Wish we had checked reviews before we came here!

You can smell it in the air. My meal was take-away to eat in my hotel room. The mac/cheese and beans were fantastic. The chicken was dry but had a good savory flavor. It was better than most BBQ I've eaten.

We had dinner here and went back the following morning for breakfast. Really good food and service. My only complaint is that they serve Pepsi instead of Coke.

Had breakfast here. They had a sign saying they were using a new POS and to be patient. I felt there was no issues and the staff did great. My wife ordered biscuits and gravy and my daughter and I ordered the breakfast skillet. Every instruction we gave them they followed and the meal was great. The vibe in there is very rustic and pretty roomy.

Best Cowboy Grub I have ever ate. The have Steaks, Burgers, Ribs so much more with all the fix-ins. The Breakfast is Amazing I got the Cowboy Skillet - Yippee ki yay crazy downright hearty and huge satisfying fare. Look at those sausages, I will take a bucket of them. If wish I lived here this would be my kitchen. I will be back before I leave this state to go home. Great service, the Chef was top notch.

Waited a long time for a table. Waited a long time on the waitress. My food order was wrong. I ordered my steak Medium, but it was like shoe leather. They did remake it, but the rest of my food was cold by then. I ordered sourdough toast and got white bread. Just did not enjoy this meal or restaurant.

Visited for dinner no wait to be seated. Food was good and the customer service was great. Will return, I recommend you visit.

We enjoyed our dinner at Longhorn. The blooming onion is phenomenal! Our waitress was great and our food arrived quickly.

Awesome dinner.! Our server, Margaret was wonderful...we have had the opportunity of having her a couple times! She's great! Fish Tacos, homemade ranch, steak cooked to your liking... perfect meal! The Longhorn is Super!

The rooms were very clean and the view can't be beat! There is a large shared kitchen and living room area which was also a pleasant surprise. We rented the "Cowboy Room" while other members of our party had the "Oriental Room". Parking was convenient as well. Between the rooms, location, and view, I honestly can't think of a better location to stay in Tombstone. To top it all off, my oldest daughter had left her beloved bird book in the mercantile store. The owner cared enough to have found the book, located the name of my daughter, and researched the hotel guests to find our name and reach out to us. I received a call this morning and she stated that she wanted to send it to us in the mail. This alone would be enough for us to want to stay there again, but it just topped off our amazing experience there.

The Madame’s room was lovely with the old world charm. Clean and spacious.

This place was beautiful!! Debbie, the lady that manages the place and the mercantile shop downstairs is AMAZING and the sweetest! She is super kind, goes out of her way to make sure we have everything we need, the place is super clean, located at the best spot, decorated so authentic! I am so sad to hear that it will be closing! Definitely coming back before that happens!

You are basically renting the home above the store. The hotel has a nice shared balcony overlooking Allen St and The Bird Cage hotel. We had one of the smaller queen size rooms that share a bathroom. The rooms all have private keys for each room and bathroom. They do have a bug problem in the bathroom. A couple of the critters decided to take up residence in my makeup bag overnight much to my surprise in the morning. They are aware of the problem and are attempting to address it, you can see the pesticide traps in the corners of the room. The walls are typical of any shared living space. You will hear your neighbors and there is no fan in the room so it’s pretty quiet otherwise. There is no early check in. We asked a couple times but they called us at 3:01 p.m. on the dot. It was nice to stay on Allen street though.

We think this place is great, and I highly recommend it. I have stayed here a few times, and always in the Madams rooms. Rooms and bathroom has always been clean. And so have the shared kitchen and living room areas. Downstairs in the shop, they have all sorts of neat things to buy or look at. Prices are also not overpriced. Lots of fun stories from Lady Jane. And from the balcony, its the best view of Allen street you will find. Its directly across from the Bird Cage. And there is private parking in the rear. . T Miller's Mercantile is a good place to relax and soak up the stories and the atmosphere of Tombstone. And while there, find AZ. Bill if you want the best historical walking tour there.

If you have a family and don't mind cooking in this is the place. Has community kitchen and living room. Has 4 themed rooms 2 of which have private baths. Comfy beds Clean. Patio area out back ground level. Inside you have a balcony to watch Allen street . Great for groups , family reunions, even if few couples want to hang out.

I just think the whole tombstone place is a tourist trap. I'm sure it's fine if you have little kids. As a 25 and 50 year old adults that were in my company, we found it quite boring. A bunch of shops selling their wares. Very nice people.
