The William Penn Mott, Jr. Presidio Visitor Center is a 4,000-square-foot facility at the north end of the Main Post and serves as a welcoming gateway, where visitors are introduced to the vast natural, cultural, and historical resources of the Presidio—and plan their adventures across the park.

Delicious food at approachable prices celebrating the Bay Area's diverse cultures and cuisines is offered by mobile trucks, carts, and tents at Presidio Tunnel Tops on a rotating schedule seven days a week.

Make sure to check out the Parks Conservancy's award-winning "Doing Time: The Alcatraz Cellhouse Tour." The audio tour is included with the purchase of an Alcatraz tour ticket.
