During our SF trip, of course we had to do an Alcatraz tour. My husband and I were excited to go, but I was worried that our 4 kids would be bored. I couldn't have been more wrong! This place is absolutely amazing. All of us were in awe of the story of Alcatraz. We chose the audio tour package and were glad that we did. You get a set of headphones and a little recorder that you listen to that directs you through the prison. As you walk through the corridors, actual former prisoners tell you the story of Alcatraz. It's truly amazing to hear these accounts first hand. This was one part of our trip that I will remember for years to come, and so will my kids!
