We were in the Phoenix area and decided to head over to see this tourist attraction. I had some teenagers with me and they actually had a really good time. There isn't a fee to go but there is a fee for basically everything else if you want to stay active there. We just picked into some of the most things we were interested in and enjoyed ourselves. We did the mine tour and we did the panning for gold. My 17-year-old boy really enjoyed the gun shows. They were every hour on the hour and each skip was not like the last. I can guarantee that if we are back in the area we will be going back.

Absolutely a beautiful place to visit and learn. Our family did the combo pass at approximately $30 per person. It included the Shack, the Train and the Mine tours. All 3 tour guides were exceptional in every possible way!!! They were so kind and filled our minds with so much knowledge. Well worth the money!! We tipped every single one of our tour guides at the end of our tours. On the other hand, my only complaint would be that every single part of the little town was a place to spend more money which was a little disappointing. It would have been or could be so much more if some of the village was seeing how people lived back in those days... but I guess the point is to make more money. My absolute favorite part of the entire town was hearing and seeing the fiddler. And yes, we made sure to tip him. All together, great experience and I'd recommend visiting.

It's such a cool place. We happened upon it on our cross-country drive from Florida to California. The views were amazing. Superstition Mountain looked like a painting. The mine was creepy and fun. Would have loved to eat and drink at the saloon.

Went here with a couple of friends, only had about a half hour and the town did not disappoint! The shops are very unique and honestly pretty affordable for selling souvenirs. We were able to walk around and see insides of buildings and great views of Superstition Mountain for free and had a great time. Would recommend if you’re short on time and want to see a little bit of the Old West.

Fun way to spend the afternoon. Can get a bit spendy as you have to pay for each attraction. They didn’t tell us they had a package until the 3rd attraction. All in all lots of fun and the fun fights were great to watch!
