Alcatraz Island
Family

Alcatraz is one of the most popular destinations in the San Francisco area. Located in the Bay Area in a world of its own, Alcatraz has lots of history. Visitors are able to visit the remnants of the prison and see the plant and wildlife on this island. Did you know that the field mice on this island are a different color than anywhere else? The prison not only housed public criminals but military criminals before that. Alcatraz is also the location where popular movies have been shot, including The Rockand The Empire Strikes Back. Rangers are on hand to answer questions and discuss history. 

Helpful Information: Once on the grounds, you can take a tour led by a park ranger or explore the prison with the self-guided audio tour. No food service is available but there's a picnic area near the dock.
