What an amazing time capsule- literally the stuff of legend. So much to look at and take in, all preserved and some left in its original state. The best and worst of the Wild West could be found there, and I'm thrilled I got to visit! Short introduction in the front bar area and then a paid self guided tour through the rest of the building.

As one of the few original buildings in Tombstone, we absolutely loved our self guided tour at the Bird Cage Theater. Dad is a huge fan of the wild west, and the Tombstone movie, so the look on his face as he walked through this building, with all its original treasures and memorabilia on the walls, was priceless. A mind-blowing place with so much on exhibit, we could have spent the entire day inside. We loved Tombstone so much, that we plan to return for the Helldorado weekend & for the nightly ghost tour here at the Bird Cage Theater.

The only authentic building remaining on that street. It was worth $47 for our family of 4 to go inside and see the original theater with all its 140 bullet holes. Some racy photos in there which my husband enjoyed 🤣. That plus Johnny Ringo grave about an hour away were the highlights of our trip to Tombstone. However, we missed the shooting reenactment at OK Coral. Maybe that would be the highlight…. We did hiking at Chiricahua National Monument and Johnny Ringo grave, which was only 28 mins away from Chiricahua NM.

It was interesting but, not worth price. There are more things at County Court house. Didn't see anything haunted. 😕

Always a fun experience. Took my daughters on the ghost tour they had a great time. They also have the self guided tour that is cheaper but we enjoyed learning all about the birdcage and tombstone. So much history. Staff is very friendly. Trish knows so much of the history and it is always great to hear everything. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

This was a fun tour! The tours are an hour and a half long, including the 30 minutes darkness time to 'welcome the ghosts to make their presence known'. Our guide, Karen, was knowledgeable, humorous and a delight. Highly recommend this tour. The history of the Bird Cage is interesting and you'll even see evidence of some of the lawlessness from history (1880's bullet slugs in walls and the bar).

Some people come here for the haunted experiences but I came here for the general history (to my understanding, I didn't see any ghosts). The place is nearly all original with the original foundations and man does it show. It was also fun looking for all of the bullet holes scattered throughout the building, most of them being on the ceiling and upper walls, 1 on the bar counter too. There's an attendant who will tell the story of the building every couple of minutes to people who just wandered in, and they'll answer any questions you may have. Beyond the entrance room requires $15 per person to tour the rest of the building, which I felt was a little steep but I suppose it goes to maintenance and conservation. Pictures and video is allowed, if not encouraged (they like seeing the "ghost pictures"), and you're allowed as much time as you want. There is a gift shop at the very end.

Did the ghost tour with the manger and his wife (sorry forgot the names) and it was awesome! I came a bit skeptical but after what I felt and pictured I left a little more convinced that there is something else out there. I’ll let my photos do the talking. (No, these are not reflections, we took multiple photos and this didn’t show in any other pics.)

Amazing place to hang out and take a guided tour. So much to look at and learn about. It's like going back in time to the late 1800's. Our tour guide was awesome and you could tell she loves her job! 1.5 hours and a great bargain for the history lesson. The amount of original artifacts is mind blowing. You could easily spend a day here and not see everything it has to offer. Very knowledgeable staff. Make sure you use the restroom before going on a tour as there are no public restrooms. It's said to be quite haunted and while we didn't experience much activity the kid had a great time and the lights out period of the tour was really cool! I highly recommend this if you are into history. Great value for the money and one of the coolest things we did while in Tombstone !!!

Pretty cool. The history that this place contains is fascinating. The pieces inside that have been collected and put on display are remarkable! The barrels in the basement are pretty creepy but very cool. The carriage is a great piece of history as well!
