Old Tucson Studios

Overview

Old Tucson is half movie studio and half theme park that features live entertainment, including action stunt shows and musicals. Columbia Pictures built the studio on land Pima County owned in 1938 to serve as a replica of 1860s Tucson for the movie Arizona. Over the years, dozens of producers have used Old Tucson to film, including 1993’s Tombstone. Today, guests can walk the studio’s streets, ride on a miniature train, watch shows and see how stuntmen film gunfights for movies. Old Tucson is near the western portion of Saguaro National Park.
