Very fun and informative Museum. Cool artifacts and relics from some very disturbing moments in U.S. history. The short film about 9/11 was amazing!! Very well done. So happy we were able to go in. The price was EXTREMELY high, however. If it weren't for my law enforcement discount, we probably would not have wanted to go in for how expensive it was going to beread more

I just wanted to show my appreciation for the young man working the gift shop yesterday afternoon. Not even 10 minutes into our visit my son, who has autism, was overstimulated & went into meltdown mode. My husband & I quickly sped through the museum to leave & when I asked if there was any way to get a refund & explained what had happened he very kindly gave us one. He offered to switch our tickets to another day but since we were leaving this morning we didn't have time. We have visited before though & love it!! Thank you for such a kind & understanding experience!read more

It had not only prisoners of Alcatraz but just criminals in general it was very good and historically good to read about everything that people can be bad at and how so many people can hurt others rather than look out for fellow man Robert Brown 10 777read more

My husband bought tickets last night for the tour today at 5:00pm. We get there today at 3:30pm to pick up our tickets, only to find out EVERYONE has to wait in line and they take people that have not bought tickets ahead of time before they take the people with pre purchased tickets. If we would have e known, we would not have reserved a ticket time and would of just walked up and bought tickets! We bought the VIP EXPERIENCE and it was fun but I think we lost seeing some of the exhibits because we were searching for clues. Also, there is not much information about Alcatraz itself. It is filled with a lot of other memorabilia and history. We were there 3 1/2 hrs and there were 3 of us.read more

2021-04-08T21:26:03+0000

The museum itself was great. if you like crime history, this is the place for you. We bought tickets online, but still had to wait an hour outside to get in to just stand in another line to present our tickets. so there really isn't a benefit to pre purchasing.read more

Bryan Lyndsi

2021-03-25T13:09:42+0000

The scenes and exhibits that were displayed were amazing. Our kids had fun playing in the cop car and running through the lights. Somethings were a little scary for them. We took a lot of fun pictures and had a fun time. I recommend not bringing kids so you can look and read-without being distracted and they may be a little bored but if you're like us and have no sitter, bring them. Also we did not do any of the crime excursions that were offered so I can't tell you how that went but there were a lot of people in there walking around trying to find clues so I assume they might be a little difficult.read more

So much information posted on all exhibits. Quite the Ted Bundy exhibit with his actual Beetle is displayed also.

Brett Rich

2021-01-22T21:40:28+0000

Interesting to walk thru and be reminded of crimes forgotten. Of course, read up on Frank and Jesse James since they were related to me and then John Dillinger, since my hometown still has a police booth built because of him. It’s a neat and freaky experience seeing memorabilia and signs to read about outlaws, killers and bombers. We then went next door to The Island to walk around and eat supper.

Very fun museum... spent about 3 hrs there... it was a bit crowded for the rules of pandemic right now...lots of touching and nothing being wiped down... the detective challenge was cool to make you look for more info and read but prize was definitely only good for littles. Laser challenge was ok... better for littles ... we didn’t opt for audio but prob could have spent more time there if I did audio. All in all I still recommend because it was such an awesome museumread 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

It is not all about Alcatraz but it does tak about the different people that have been there. If you enjoy anything crime this is Awesome!!

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

What an awesome museum/interactive experience! We were there for almost 6 hours and I feel like we rushed the last half of the museum. It’s a great balance of crime/criminal stories and artifacts, forensic and legal education, tales/artifacts from famous law enforcement officers—it even includes a touching memorial to 911 and the first responders. The displays rotate, so I can wait to go back. It’s a crime I can’t give it more than 5 stars!read more

Worth every penny!!! We learned so many interesting facts. It was a lot of reading. We spent 5 hours there and didn’t even realize it!!! FYI Timothy mcveigh went to the same school I studied criminal justice at— Bryant & Stratton college! It covers a lot of outlaws, serial killers, artifacts dating back to the 15th century, and more! We had a blast and bought out the gift shop, which had very reasonable prices for an attraction gift shop!!! We plan to come back to pigeon forge and explore Alcatraz some more!!!read more

This was a really unique experience, and our family really enjoyed it. We all loved it for different reasons, which says a lot about the variety of exhibits. I loved the serial killer area (sick curiosity, I guess). My husband loved all of the mob exhibits, while my father in law’s favorite room was the assassination section. The kids loved that they were allowed to get on the police motorcycle, get in the car, do the drunk driving test, and the scavenger hunt along the way. We would recommend this tour (which took us ~ 2hours) for any family with kids aged 8up.read more

I didn't know anything about this place but my daughter wanted to go so we went. I was a bit worried about the price but it was WELL worth it. Lot's of fascinating stuff in there. You could spend hours in there or come back on multiple trips and not see everything. Everything from pirates and old west to 9/11 and modern crime. Lots of actual historical pieces in there including OJ's Bronco! How cool is that? Would highly recommend.read more
