Alcatraz Island
📍 San Francisco, California
✓ Verified⭐ Featured
Alcatraz held America's most dangerous federal prisoners from 1934 to 1963, including Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, and Robert Stroud (the Birdman). The cellhouse audio tour is one of the best museum experiences in America — former guards and inmates narrate the infamous escape attempts, the Battle of Alcatraz riot, and the Native American occupation that followed the prison's closure.
