"More then I thought"

December 2022

Went into this place thinking that it was just about Alcatraz. It’s actually a lot more and it’s huge! Loved the experience!

Tip: It’s not just about Alcatraz and the bathrooms are on the second floor.

"Very thorough"

October 2022

So many rooms and things to see. I loved that it started in the Middle Ages and went up through current times. There was a lot to see and you could tell they keep up to date with current events. Recommend for all true crime fans.

Tip: Set aside a good few hours and get there early to avoid a long line
