Alcatraz is a pretty creepy place in general, but going there at night is definitely not for the easily spooked. The boat ride out to the island is fun and they tell you a lot of good information. Once you get to the island you’ve got to do some pretty serious uphill walking before you get to the actual jail. Luckily, every time the group started to huff and puff they would stop everyone and tell an interesting bit of little known information about attempted escapes or famous prisoners. Once you get inside you get a headset that provides step by step instructions and a very detailed lecture of the jail, the prisoners and the history of the island. By the time you leave it’s pitch black and of course you have to walk right by the morgue to get back to the boat. Overall it’s a very cool tourist attraction, creepy–but worthwhile.
