The Alcatraz tour journey includes round trip ferry to the historic Alcatraz Island and an audio tour of the prison cell.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this Alcatraz tour? Can kids join?

A: There isn’t a strict age limit for the Alcatraz tour, so kids can definitely join! But keep in mind that the audio tour might be more suitable for ages 10 and up. I've taken my 8-year-old before and he loved it, but some younger kids might not have the attention span for the audio. Just be sure to supervise them on the boat and the island.

Q: What if the weather is bad? Do they cancel tours?

A: They do run tours rain or shine, but if the conditions are really unsafe, they may cancel or reschedule. It’s best to check the weather and contact the provider beforehand. I went on a foggy night and it added to the eerie vibe of Alcatraz! Just bring a good jacket.

Q: How's the parking situation near the ferry terminal?

A: Parking can be tough near Fisherman's Wharf, especially on weekends. I recommend using one of the nearby parking garages, which can cost around $20-$40 for the day. You might also consider using public transit if you can. The ferry ride is part of the experience!

Just booked the Alcatraz tour + sunset bus tour! Any tips?

I just got the tickets for the Official Alcatraz Prison Tour + the Open-Top Bus Sunset Tour for next month! Super stoked! I've always wanted to check out Alcatraz. Any tips on what to wear or pack? I’ve heard the audio tour is really good, too. Also, how long do we get to spend on the island? I want to soak it all in.

Anyone done the sunset bus tour? Worth it?

I’m thinking of gifting this Alcatraz + sunset bus tour combo to my brother’s family. I love the idea of seeing the city from the bus at night! Is the view really that good from Treasure Island? Any thoughts?
