We went with our kids and enjoyed the visit. Everyone was exited to learn something new. Staff was friendly. Exhibits were organized according to crime, which was helpful to stay away from what we were not interested. And spend more time in the things that interested us the most.read more

I am a history and artifact lover. This place was great! Glad that we did the VIP package. Had a fun time listening to the audio tour, solving the clues(which we were able to do �) the laser maze was good too. Even our 11 year old found it interesting and she is a typical preteen. If she didn't choose it she doesn't want to do it. Two thumbs up!!read more

Sherri Bay-Teaford

2017-08-13T00:48:00+0000

My family of 5 loved this experience (the 7-year-old lasted about 3 hours). Very informative and well designed. The artifacts and interactive exhibits are fantastic. We spent 3+ hours and would've spent more had my 7-year-old not become tired and hungry. Alcatraz East was great!!read more

Dwayne Head

2017-08-07T01:33:43+0000

It was entertaining and informative for both me and my mom as we went through it. My mom isn't able to walk that much at 77 years old with a bad back and they have elevators to take you to the floors and benches to sit on in the attraction so it was an easier attraction to do. I also did the detective challenge and found the missing hidden amulet.read more

Brittany Hand

2017-08-06T21:21:27+0000

Outstanding!!! Really gets you thinking!! Love how not only is it about murders, knapping, and gangs but some events that put a mark on the USA! Cant wait to return one day!read more

Bonnie Zacharias

2017-08-06T20:16:16+0000

I went with a group of 4 with ages ranging from 17 to 80. We all loved it. We purchased the full package however, we could of done without the audio because we read everything. It was so informational and we had a lot of fun. One thing I would change is the prize at the end for solving the case. I was expecting at least a plastic medallion or alike that would have the alcatraz logo on it etc... it did take longer than I expected ( about 3hrs.) We learned alot of interesting stuff and never lost interest. Definitely would go again.read more

Alcatraz East was everything I could have hoped for, and was even better than I expected. The day before I went, my friend, who is a film/video specialist and was inspired by the film Titanic as well as took an interest in the original event, went to the Titanic museum. I was a bit antsy to visit a museum that I would be passionate about, so I came across the Alcatraz East Museum. I was excited, but my initial assumption was that it was a tour of Alcatraz. When I walked in, I read that it was simply a history of crime and a presentation of the evolution of the Criminal Justice system, my blood started pumping because I, myself, am an inspiring member of Law Enforcement. It's absolutely enthralling.read more

Sarah Holt

2017-08-05T01:28:50+0000

I was wanting to go since they advertised it being built in the Island. I was super excited and thought it was super loaded with facts and all the reading you'll be there for +3 hours just reading alone. It was busy and kinda crowded. The disappointment was that the Bonnie and Clyde, and OJ Simpson cars weren't even the real ones. They were doing mantinance while we were there too. And we got there at 6:00pm and left 8:30pm. But over all it was very cool and fun. I hope they change exhibits so when people who have been already come back it's not the same. It will make the experience even better. Still would recommend.read more

Loved Alcatraz East!! So very interesting and things you thought you knew all about turned out you might not know the whole story without reading all these exibits. Very cool place. We stayed about 3 hours and learned so much!! Definitely recommendread more

Chris Tyree

2017-07-29T22:35:34+0000

Kelly King

2017-07-26T04:03:10+0000

Reading all of these negative reviews makes me sad. As someone who is fascinated with crimes and crime scene investigation it was definitely worth it. We spent about 2 1/2 hrs in here and that was with not reading everything lol. (I only read what interested me). Even though it was a Saturday I was able to enjoy every exhibits. Keep up the good workread more

Mickey Bryan

2017-07-24T01:46:09+0000

I am local to the area, and went to see the infamous white Bronco (OJ Simpson) just last night. However, I knew there would be more to see that my husband and I would be interested in. What we didn't expect, was the amount of things and information! We really thought it would be a smaller deal. We absolutely loved it! We spent at least 2 hours or so in there and could've spent more. We did the laser "heist" ($5) and enjoyed it. Maybe we're easily amused but we also paid the $2 for the video just to see who broke the lasers lol. We will definitely be back! If you have any interest in crimes and the cases surrounding them you should enjoy this. Crime information on EVERYTHING through the years.read more

Lindsey Crumley

2017-07-14T01:33:41+0000

A very cool place. I thought it was very interesting - the only down side is that there is a lot of reading and it is close together. When it's crowded it's hard to get through. I did love it though- you definitely need to go if you are a fan of true crimeread more

Renee Langer-Oiler

2017-07-11T16:02:56+0000

The museum had allot of history starting with the mid evil times, I didn't expect that.

I travel to Alcatraz East towards the end of June 2017. I had also visited the previous location when it was the Crime Museum in Washington D.C. before closing. The displays are organized and an excellent way for anyone interested in joining law enforcement, becoming a crime scene investigator, forensic profiler, and/ or working in a lab setting provide a wealth of information. Additional displays and updated information are always presented. We did just the walk through tour and I enjoyed the museum thoroughly.read more

As a true crime junkie I was extremely excited to visit Alcatraz East on our recent trip to the Smokies. This place definitely didn't disappoint. Be sure to set aside a lot of time for your visit. I spent 35 minutes in the murder/serial killer room alone! If I could improve anything, it would be the gift shop. I was disappointed that there weren't many documentaries(video or written) offered. Other than that, it was great!read more

Loved it!! I took a 12, 13, and 16 year old. They all enjoyed reading every word and that's very rare. No sense in buying the package for audio... so much is written that is not said on audio. You still have to read a lot. We were there over 2 hours, but could have stayed longer if we were not already exhausted from the day. Highly recommend!read more

I loved it! We had a great time! However, I would suggest to parents with children 2-4 years of age, I would go somewhere more family oriented. When we were there, there was a family there and their child got bored and cried and the other people around them had a hard time enjoying some of the exhibits. Don't take me the wrong way I love kids but a lot of the exhibits require a lot of reading and time and all I wanted to do was get away from them because they didn't try to do anything to console the child.read more

It is a very interesting museum to tour, it gives you a look at crime and punishment through several centuries as well as insight and information on some of the most well known crimes and criminals in our history from Capone and Dillinger to Bundy and Manson. It also gives you look into life in Alcatraz, some interesting facts on several other locations. It has an area to allow you to see the what and how of crime scene processing, as well as a number of things to honor those who have died in the line of duty and memorial to the victims of the 9/11 events.read more

Awesome attraction! I actually was surprised that this museum is located in pigeon forge by the kind of artifacts they have. You'd think it should be in D.C., New York or some other larger city. If you're a fan of true crime, like myself, definitely check this one out. It is well worth the admission cost.read more

My favorite museum I've been to. My girlfriend and I have little common interests but we do enjoy this type of thing. She wanted to make it by 9 since that's when the last tickets were sold. Good thing we made it by 7, we were there for almost 3 hours and didn't even spend a lot of time in some sections of the museum. The artifacts are unreal and plenty to take in and read as well as interactive portions as well (although some things were out or order, probably the only complaint I could ever have). As a sports fan, there's even some cool things pertaining to that. Awesome attraction. Staff was awesome as well. Hopefully new artifacts will be added so we can keep coming back each time we visit.read more

I got VIP tickets for my birthday and couldn't wait to use them. This is THE BEST museum I've ever been to. I loved seeing all of the artifacts from the infamous killers, the OJ Simpson bronco, and we had a blast doing the Heist. If you're planning on going, make sure you have a few hours set aside because there's a lot to see & do. It was super informative but we had SO MUCH FUN. If you are a fan of crime shows....this is for you!read more

We visited The Alcatraz East Crime Museum yesterday ( 5/7/2017 ) for the first time. We didn't realize there was so much to see. We were there from 5:00 until they closed at 9:00 looking at all of the exhibits. We didn't get to see everything , so we went back today for almost 3 hours before headed back home to South Carolina.. My husband, J , and I loved it. We will definitely recommend everyone we know to come visit the museum. All of the pics I took , were posted on my Facebook page for all of my family and friends to see. Thank you for an amazing and interesting place to visit. It was awesome.read more
