"Quirky little taste of the Old West"

Pioneertown was built in 1946 to be used as a movie set for Gene Autry films and is open to the general public to explore.  Several movies and tv shows have been shot in this recreated western town and its not hard to imagine Roy Rogers racing Trigger down Mane Street.

These days, there is a gunfight show at 2:30 on weekends from April through October which is put on by local residents which the kids should enjoy. Parents will enjoy the slapstick humor. A bowling alley is open on weekends and a very popular restaurant is open for dinner and lunch Thursday through Sunday and dinner only on Monday.

Visitors can stay in the Pioneertown Motel which is where the old actors stayed for only $100 a night on weekends and $70during the week. There are 18 rooms and 2 of the rooms have two twin beds.  Many of the rooms have kitchenettes and the property is pet friendly.  There are even corrals for people to keep their horses in.

Pioneertown can provide a unique and adventurous experience to families whether it be for a couple hours or a couple days.  If you are out in the Hi-Desert, pay it a visit!
