My parents took our family to visit San Francisco when I was in high school and I remember Alcatraz being one of the sightseeing highlights of the trip! There are certainly lots of birds to watch out for, but the tour (with all of the information and stories!) was engaging and highly enjoyable. Whether you're getting ready for a trip of your own, or just have some curious kiddos, here is a lit of some Alcatraz books to check out!
