Exciting, hair-raising, and exclusive small group tour (max 15 people) of fascinating “top secret” places on Alcatraz. Expert historians from the Conservancy’s famed Alcatraz Night Tour program will lead the group through eerie spots that only original prison staff ventured into, including the cell house rooftop and the morgue. Take in views from the top of the historic lighthouse, which replaced the original lighthouse in 1909, to be tall enough to shine over the new cellhouse. Open and unfiltered discussions about island history and contemporary topics will be encouraged. Minimum age 12 to participate. Date: Saturday, June 7, 2025.
