Keep in mind I was responding to a poster asking about
low budget attractions.
Alcatraz for 2 adults, 2 kids: $120.50 + fees.
If you want a scenic boat ride, you can take a ride on the ferry. Same party of 4, <$20.
Also, exactly what makes Alcatraz so important? That Al Capone was there, or the Native American occupation of 1969-1971?
