Inside Alcatraz: The Bay Your Way
Overview
See the bay your way when you make your own Alcatraz combo.
Start your day by choosing one adventure from our preselected Fisherman's Wharf activity. Certain days have access to attractions such as zoos, museums, aquariums, transportation tours, and family fun adventures.
End your day with a visit to Alcatraz Island. Go inside the prison and experience the audio tour on your personal cell phone. Enjoy the island as long as you would like and return on any boat. Your Alcatraz time slot will be assigned by us and guests do not have to do the Wharf attraction if they just want the Alcatraz portion.
Some guests will experience reverse order: Start at Alcatraz/end at Wharf attraction.
