There are exciting demonstrations of gunfighter shootouts and saloon shows frequently throughout the day. There is a little rodeo, many exhibits and stores, and a play place for the kids. Visitors may see how movies are made or take a train, stagecoach or pony ride. Various restaurants are available. Movies are still being filmed there.
