The Candlelight Tour of Fort Point is a popular guided program that allows visitors to experience the fort in a new light. This evening tour will maze through the shadows of the historic structure by candlelight and visitors will see the glimmering lights of the Golden Gate Bridge towering up above them. A ranger will lead this 90-minute excursion and interpret the history and the life that once existed within the old brick walls of Fort Point.

The Candlelight Tour explores all four level of the fort including the roof (approximately 76 steps). Visitors will be invited to engage in dialogue as they learn about the fascinating and sometimes complex history of the fort, its role in San Francisco history, and its cultural relevance today. 

Visitors with reservations will begin their tour when the fort is otherwise inaccessible to the public.  This event is exclusive to Park Champion Members. Please email Membership Manager Clare Schuett-Hall ( pfpuhrgg-unyy@cnexfpbafreinapl.betgro.ycnavresnocskrap@llah-tteuhcsc ) to register.
