Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade is the Old West–themed shooting gallery in Frontierland at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Aim at nearly 100 targets in a family-friendly, interactive arcade experience.
Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade recreates the atmosphere of a frontier town—think Tombstone, Arizona—while offering a fun, retro-style game for guests of many ages. The attraction places visitors behind replica .54-caliber Hawkins Buffalo Rifles that use safe, projectile-free infrared technology to register hits. Players can fire at a mix of stationary and moving targets scattered across the scene; each target responds with unique animations or sounds when struck, providing an engaging, interactive experience.
Operating Hours
The Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade is often available from park opening until close, but hours can vary. For the most reliable information, check the My Disney Experience app or the official park schedule on the day of your visit. Occasionally the arcade may be closed for maintenance or special events, so verifying hours in advance will help you plan your day without surprises.
What to Expect
The arcade is themed and immersive rather than a thrill ride. Expect a relaxed pace where accuracy and timing matter more than speed. The replica rifles feel substantial and are simple to use, and the infrared system makes the experience safe for all ages. Targets include animated figures, staged props, and moving objects that can trigger sound effects or visual reactions when hit, making each attempt satisfying and often humorous.
