i liked about it being so large, and experiencing the inside temperature. the experience was simply awsome!! i also visited it during the school year. it was pretty empty, so it was a little scary.

I was saddened by the cell size and the history associated with this place. I wanted to see it for my self. It is a place I'm glad I saw, would not go again.

it was interesting to be in an old jail, but it was kinda scary. i did injoy myself while i was there though. i travel a lot and i think this was one of the best places yet. it deserves a hearty WOW!!!!!!!!
really, rbzf

a tourist trap , however, it is unbelieveable and definitely worth the wait and the trip. It is amazing how these "people" lived both cons and staff.

One of the best parts of my trip to SanFrancisico. Very interesting. The closing of the cell doors was thought provoking. The head phone tour very infomative. Take the evening tour You get to see the city in the day light and then returning you get to see the lights of the city, very cool.

Take the tour of Alcatraz with the headphones, you find out all of the history of the island Capone, the Birdman, the infamous escape everything. The boat ride is about 10-15 minutes with spectacular views of the city on one side then an awe inspiring circle of the the island until you land at the entrance, take many pictures as you circle the ...

There is a short semi steep walk up to the prison, but worth it. As the sun went down, we toured the prison with the audio guide (a must). To see how the ...

The ferry trip scenery was absolutely beautiful... looking back and seeing the streets of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge - everything about it. Alcatraz itself was worth every penny. Wouldn't miss it for the world - informative, easy to go through with headsets, gift shop, nice and clean. If you're going to San Fran, make sure this is one of your stops!!

I like everything about the alcatraz. Rent the headphones to hear all about the different areas within the prison as well as the lore of the infamous inmates. My children (age 6 and 8) really enjoyed the experience. The price was very reasonable and you can stay on the island as long as you want. I would like to do the tour at night next time.
