If you have just the slightest interest in western history, Tombstone's Allen Street is a must stop. This was our 2nd visit and it has not changed much in the past 15 years. The street is closed to traffic which makes it very appealing. The only thing on the street is the stagecoach (and the people). Fun stops from the... More

A fascinating experience. One of the only "old" towns that we have visited that is not chuck full of souvenir shops, and all the other glitz that generally overflows. This is like walking through a time warp, and there you are in the old west. Ladies wearing sidearms, stagecoaches going in and out, horses tied up at the saloon etc.... More

Since the name Allen is prevalent in my family history, this street was just the thing for me. Shops and people friendly, costumes in keeping with the setting. Selection of items for sale varied both in quantity and price. Stop at the ice cream parlor and then take a few minutes to sit on one of the many benches and... More

Just a self walking tour of the main street and shops, also the O K Corral is worth the trip. Plus Big Nose Kate's saloon and what I mention here is free!!

We loved this town so much we visited twice in one week! The buildings I've been told have been rebuilt after 2 fires and date back to the late 1800s. Nice shops, touristy attractions, and decent restaurants. My grandsons loved it, they were cowboys one day and Indians the next. Definitely worth the trip if you're in the area.

I had seen the film with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer and loved it to bits. It was only natural that I visit the historic town where it actually happened. The story was glamorised and embellished for the silver screen, but when you stand in the O.K. Coral you really do wish the walls could talk, as the sales pitch... More

Had a nice morning shopping, especially enjoyed The Shady Lady's Closet - their merchandise was different form the norm.

Street is not open to cars. 4 or 5 blocks of old western stores, people dressed in period costume and stage coaches going by every 10 or so minutes.

I was very surprised about how different all the shops were. I thought tombstone was going to be nothing but a but of shops with the same items, but I was wrong. Its a cool place to visit. Everyone was very friendly and we had a good time. shops are open 9-5 only though. So we really had to rush... More
