Dark, quiet and cold, the nights would have been long and horrible.
It was one of the most feared federal prisons in California with a formidable reputation that had even the most notorious criminals terrified.Alcatraz ferry departs from Pier 31-33, its a dedicated Alcatraz pier and you’ll see all the signage as you approach.
Or walk around the east side of the island to the Model Industries Building.Tip: Our Alcatraz video has blues banjo music.
I seized a recent school's out day to bring my three kids, age 6 to 13, on a tour of Alcatraz for the first time. Alcatraz has a number of different options for tours including early bird, day tours, night tours and behind the scenes tour. Share Alcatraz, San Francisco’s world-famous visitor attraction, invites young people to navigate the Island and interact with nature, history and adventure by becoming an Alcatraz Junior Ranger. If that place didn’t reform you nothing would!This was Craig’s top pick from his bucket list and I didn’t think the kids and I would find it that interesting, I can confirm that I was pleasantly surprised. If it’s a very busy day, you might need to wait for the next ferry.
The Alcatraz ferry runs every 30 mins and returns to Alcatraz pier with those tourists leaving the island. I was a little concerned to visit Alcatraz with the kids as I wasn’t sure it would be appropriate for them. The tour finishes in the Alcatraz mess room, aka the dining room.
Not mine.
How long is the Alcatraz tour? But Alcatraz is much more than its most notorious inmate – gangster, tax-evader Al Capone.In the 19th century a lighthouse and Civil War era fort were built on the island, families and children lived on Alcatraz for over 150 years – each era is different.On Alcatraz today, shore birds make their nests, gardens grow in profusion, flowers bloom, the island has a panoramic view of San Francisco across the water.For centuries, Indian tribes such as the Ohlone and Miwok lived around San Francisco Bay, but probably didn’t stay on this rocky island, as there is no source of fresh water.When the Spanish arrived in late 18th century, they named the island “Isla de los Alcatraces,” which means Island of the Pelicans.In the mid-19th century, the harbor was very crowded with ships, a lighthouse was built on the island.The lighthouse keeper had a family, and the children helped to light the lamp every night.
What did you think of the tour, I would love to hear about it in the comments below. Alcatraz was also used as a military prison throughout the 19th century.During the Depression, the federal government turned Alcatraz into a maximum security prison for hardened criminals.From 1934 – 1963, Alcatraz was famous for inmates, such as Al Capone and “Machine Gun” Kelly, and fourteen escape attempts from the island.Families of correctional officers for the prison lived on Alcatraz, the kids took the boat to school in San Francisco during the week.It was a tight-knit community with bowling alley, cafe, post office, clinic, movie theater, room to play baseball and football, a Christmas Eve celebration that included Santa Claus.After the prison closed, from Nov 1969 – to June 1971, Native American tribes occupied Alcatraz, protesting two hundred years of injustice by the government.Along with adults, children lived on Alcatraz, and learned about tribal culture and arts, along with standard school curriculum.Alcatraz, a national park since 1972, is a unique San Francisco experience.Before boarding the boat to Alcatraz, check out the large The boat ride to the island is stellar, and kids will enjoy seeing the San Francisco skyline from the water, and views of the Golden Gate Bridge.After getting off at the boat dock, stop to watch the excellent ten minute video about the history of Alcatraz in the theater next to the bookstore.It’s a quarter mile walk from the dock up the steep hill to the prison itself, the Cellhouse.Pick up the free audio tour (eleven languages, no kid’s version), go at your own pace, walking through the cell block, library, dining room, prison yard, administrative wing.Doors of selected cells are open, so kids can step inside.The audio tour, with sound effects and graphic, first-hand experiences from inmates and correction officers, narrates daily life for prisoners, and dramatic events such as the 1946 riot (guards were taken hostage) and 1962 escape.After completing tour of the Cellhouse, explore the island.The gardens on the west side are lovely, run around the Parade Ground, check out the lighthouse still in operation (but you can’t go inside).If you have toddlers and younger kids along, skip the Cellhouse – take them to the Parade Ground to watch the container ships and sailboats going by in the bay.
