The historic and notorious Alcatraz penitentiary located on Alcatraz Island is one of America's most infamous prisons. You can take a ferry over to the island and tour the site while listening to an exceptional audio recording that offers a glimpse into life in the prison.

Alcatraz Island is one the most well known historic United States prisons ever created. It held home to some of the biggest criminals of all time like AL CAPONE, BUMPY JOHHNSON, WHITEY BULGER and more. Prison turned museum, See how it was to live on this island as an inmate!

Make reservations EARLY , it sells out quickly. It includes a nice boat ride out onto Bay. There are also night tours.
