Buy Alcatraz By Night Event Tickets

Get a glimpse of history and legend with Alcatraz By Night tickets. Alcatraz Island is a historical landmark and former maximum-security prison. Though it no longer operates as a prison, it has become one of the key tourist attractions in San Francisco. Alcatraz famously held America’s notorious Prohibition-era gangsters and other infamous criminals and killers.

The facility was unique in that escape was virtually impossible. The island is surrounded by vicious currents and ice-cold water, and Alcatraz often confined some of the worst criminals the country has ever seen. Alcatraz By Night tickets give you a chance to see this spooky national landmark with your own eyes.

Alcatraz By Night is a special guided tour of the island that takes place after dark and features exclusive attractions not included during the facility’s normal afternoon tour. For one thing, Alcatraz By Night limits its group to only a few hundred--significantly less than the round-the-clock day tours which see droves of tourists at a time. Included in the purchase of an Alcatraz By Night ticket is two-way transportation from the mainland to the island facility by ferry. The ferry ride features special narration by a tour-giver which briefs the visitors on the dark history of the island and its inmates.

Visitors receive souvenirs included as part of the ticket purchase and are escorted through the labyrinthian cell blocks in darkness as the guide regales them with stories of attempted escape. Participants are also welcome to peruse the island at their leisure, where various tour guides and actors put on exclusive nighttime presentations.
