Old Tucson Studios

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:54:08

Nicknamed 'Hollywood in the Desert,' this old movie set of Tucson in the 1860s was built in 1939 for the filming of Arizona . Hundreds of flicks followed, bringing in movie stars from Clint Eastwood to Leonardo DiCaprio. Now a Wild West theme park, it's all about shootouts, stagecoach rides, stunt shows and dancing saloon girls.

The studios are a few miles southeast of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum off Hwy 86.
