The Frontierland Shootin’ Exposition is an interactive and entertaining attraction located in the Frontierland area of Disneyland Park. This attraction provides visitors with a chance to step back in time to the Old West and try their hand at target shooting in a safe and fun environment.

The Shootin’ Exposition features a rustic shooting gallery with a variety of animated targets and scenarios that pay homage to the Wild West. Guests use replica rifles loaded with infrared beams to take aim at these targets, which range from barrels and bottles to saloon signs and bandits. When a target is successfully hit, it triggers a satisfying animation or sound effect, adding an element of excitement to the experience.

This attraction is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for guests of all ages, making it a fantastic option for families to enjoy together. It offers a chance for friendly competition as visitors aim to score points by hitting as many targets as possible within a certain time limit.

The Frontierland Shootin’ Exposition fits perfectly into the theming of Disneyland’s Frontierland, which immerses guests in the rugged and adventurous atmosphere of the American Old West. The shooting gallery is surrounded by detailed Western facades, adding to the immersive experience.

Part of the charm of the Shootin’ Exposition is the tactile interaction it offers in an age when many attractions are high-tech and screen-based. It provides a nostalgic and hands-on experience that harks back to the classic shooting galleries found in amusement parks of the past.

While the Frontierland Shootin’ Exposition may not be the most adrenaline-pumping attraction at Disneyland, it offers a unique and enjoyable diversion for those looking to test their sharpshooting skills and immerse themselves in the Old West. It’s a place where guests can channel their inner cowboy or cowgirl and have a rootin’-tootin’ good time in Disneyland’s Frontierland.

I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other site isDMR.
