SMELTERS BALLPARK TOUR

SMELTERS TO SCOREBOARDS TO DEPORTATIONS

Your private 3-hour Smelters Ballpark Tour is one of the best things to do in Bisbee - a story-rich ride led by Travis, a 4th-generation local. You’ll cruise Old Bisbee’s hillside streets, hear copper-boom history and ghost lore, stop for panoramic views, and visit the legendary Warren Ballpark. You’ll also roll through Lowell’s vintage-car time capsule and see the massive open-pit mining scale that shaped the town - all from a climate-controlled Jeep on one of Bisbee’s most memorable Bisbee Tours.

Warren Ballpark isn’t a landmark - it’s a living legend.
