A Collection of Alcatraz Island Prison Pictures

I thought I would share with you a selection of …

📸 Alcatraz Island Prison Pictures, 📸

taken on our last visit to this Amazing Attraction. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Alcatraz tour during our recent visit to 🌉 San Francisco, California. 

Taking the Official Tour of Alcatraz, is certainly one not to be missed when visiting this beautiful city!

Alcatraz is definitely the {Most Popular Attraction} in San Francisco.

As we made our way around the grounds taking the superb self guided 🔊 audio tour, my son began taking many pictures of our visit. I thought you would enjoy seeing some of my favorite 📸 photographs taken while on the prison grounds.

Alcatraz Island Prison – Prison Ruins

Strolling along the grounds and gazing at the Prison Ruins and listening to the audio tour, you begin to step back in time and imagine how life used to be at Alcatraz. 

Hearing the voices of actual prison guards and prisoners, you really do begin to get a sense of life on the Island, when it was once the most notorious prison in the United States.

Be sure to include the Alcatraz Island Prison Tour on your next visit to 🌉 San Francisco. The view alone from the island across the {San Francisco Bay} to the city, is worth the trip on its own!  

The 📻 audio tour is exceptional and must be included in your tour.
