Alcatraz
-
The hospitality of the Americans is outstanding and truly leaves you with a humble taste in your mouth.
Yes, the Alcatraz tours are a bit pricey and you will want to make reservations ahead of time. But this is a fabulous option for singles, couples and parents with kids. We enjoyed the entire experience and, even though it was a Saturday afternoon, the island didn't feel crowded.
I suggest starting off your visit to the rock with the informational video--it gives some people on your ferry a head start to the main attraction (the prison) and also gives quite a bit of interesting information before you head up there yourself. The video was only about ten minutes long, so even kids could stay entertained. The island itself was extremely interesting--we could have spent most of the day roaming the gardens and other areas.
