This made it really easy to get started on the tour since my family and I didn’t feel rushed. It felt like we had enough time to read/do everything we wanted. The staff was very friendly and well educated as well. The museum’s collections were unique, a lot of things sent me home in shock! 10/10 I HIGHLY recommend!!! 😊👏🏼read more

We spent two and half hours there and we could have spent another 4.We paid the extra 10 dollars and we got the bonus package.Through the exhibits we had to solve a mystery of the stolen Jewel by collecting clues. There was so much to do and so much more.We would have stayed longer but we had dinner reservations so we had to leave. We did manage to solve the crime and we were rewarded at the gift shop.Anyone who is interested in the History of criminals and crime you don't want miss this place .It is also Kid friendly with a virtual reality police car , drunk googles and a laser maze.Dont forget about the corpse in the make shift morgue and learning about the human body and what happens after someone is deceased .This is money well spent and we will visit again.read more

Well between going to the Mob Museum in Las Vegas and here I’ve learned a lot from both. But then again I’m only that believes that the punishment should fit the crime. Less jails and criminals.

I highly recommend this place! The exhibits are so interesting, you could spend all day here. They thoroughly present historical crime figures and legendary crimes against humanity. In addition, they explain the science of investigating crimes. Some of the articles on display will shock you. Don't miss it!read more

We’ve come to this area for vacation for decades. This was our first time at Alcatraz East and it was fascinating for everyone in our party from ages 12 to 68!read more

Interesting, but not quite what I thought it would be

We decided to go expecting it to be a tourist trap, but we were very much surprised how thorough and engaging the museum actually is! We were surprised that we spent just over 2 hours checking out all the exhibits and learning about all the famous serial killers. The exhibits themselves could use some TLC. Some of the glass displays need to be cleaned better, the mannequins were either falling apart due to lack of care or were fading due to light exposure, and it's clear the interactive kiosks are running on Windows 95. If they spent the slow seasons doing some exhibit refurbishing, everything would be perfect!read more

Amazing place to learn anything you ever wanted to know about the history of crime! We were there 2 hours but could have easily spent 4 hours or more to take it all in! I would say ages 10 and up would get the most out of it. Our 5 year old was bored after about 20 minutes! You have to enjoy reading a lot to get the most out of the experience! But very interesting indeed! 👍👍read more

My family and I had a great time. This was our first time there so we didn't know what to expect but we did the audio tour, used the book for clues, and also did the heist. I am very appreciative of them for giving teachers a discount which allowed us to do all the extras. Definitely recommend this to families looking to do something together.read more

Being a local and being in law enforcement, there was a lot of cool exhibits and facts were displayed. A lot of good information about their exhibits, that were quite impressive. I would recommend that if you want to look at every bit of the place that you allow more than 2 hours to go through the whole place without being rushed. I don't know if young children will be entertained due to the lack of knowledge of some of the crimes, but it's a good learning environment that is for sure. The convicts behind the counter and throughout the exhibits were certainly nice and friendly. Thank you for a great experience!!!read more
