Never been. Tombstone is a couple three hours, but I'm a history dork. From Tucson to the Titan Missile Museum is maybe 30-45 minutes. Cold War cool and a bit frightening.

old Tucson Isn’t what it was, you’ll still have a good time. But its all replicas now because it all burned down

It was run down a few years ago when I last went.
But I talked with the new owner, (The guy that owns the Durango Railroad and the Grand Hotel in Silverton) and he told me about rebuilding the place. I haven’t been there since.
Tombstone is pretty touristy, but thats to be expected.
Karchner Caverns is a good tour.
The Sonoran Desert Museum, (Right by Old Tucson)
Bisbee

Other options that I haven’t checked out yet are:
The Titan Missile Museum. (I can see it from my house, but still haven’t gone)
Colossal Cave
Pima air museum
Sabino Canyon.

Don't miss the Sonora Desert Museum, it is just north of Old Tucson Studios.

just got back from old Tucson, we really enjoyed the place. They got a bar and you open carry around town. We spent 4 hours there. Got see a couple gun fights. It worth the trip.😎
