Visit the O.K. Corral

Welcome to the O.K. Corral®

Thank you for considering the O.K. Corral as your destination. We know you will enjoy experiencing life in the Old West as it was in the 1880s.

The O.K. Corral Historic Complex includes the actual site where the famous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place on October 26, 1881, between the Earps, Doc Holliday, and the Clanton-McLaury gang. The Corral is open from 9 am to 5 pm every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.

Free parking is available for O.K. Corral visitors in the nearby O.K. Corral Parking Lot behind the Corral on Fremont Street (Highway 80), between 3rd and 4th Streets.

The O.K. Corral is handicap accessible. No weapons or pets are allowed in the O.K. Corral due to insurance requirements. If you have any questions about the O.K. Corral attractions, please email us or give us a call at (520) 457-3456.

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral® Reenactment

The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is reenacted daily inside the O.K. Corral Historic Complex at 11 am, 1 pm, and 3 pm. The show lasts about 30 minutes. You can buy your tickets online – or tickets may be purchased at the O.K. Corral in person on the day of the performance. We recommend buying tickets at least 1-2 hours before the show since we often sell out.

After the Gunfight reenactment, take your picture standing next to the gunfighters. We suggest exploring the O.K. Corral's historic exhibits before the reenactment begins since displays become crowded after the show.

Photographs of the reenactment and the O.K. Corral grounds are permitted as long as the photos are for your personal use.

  1. The actual Site of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral where eight life-sized figures of the gunfighters are located based on a map drawn by Wyatt Earp himself. Listen to a recorded narration of the 30-second showdown that left three cowboys dead and Virgil and Morgan Earp wounded.

If you want to read more about Tombstone before you visit, check out our history page. One of the best books about Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is And Die in the West: The Story of the O.K. Corral Gunfight by Paula Mitchell Marks. Unbiased in its approach, it describes the years from Tombstone's discovery in 1877 until Wyatt Earp's death in 1929.
