Melissa Norman

2018-10-15T08:05:12+0000

I went to visit here 10/14/18 at 7p.m. the first thing that strikes me is the door that says be nice to the inmates... I laughed but then we meet the cashier... Now I know why the door said this... they treat u ruff like your in prison. Not very friendly and she wanted to see both of our id's before we were allowed to enter even thou we weren't using their hand held listening devices Thru this place. Even thou This place is really interesting and very fun.. you would want to allow 4 hours easy. There is so much to read. Not sure why they call it Alcatraz thou... it's got 3% content about Alcatraz... also I definitely wouldn't bring kids it's more adult oriented as u can imagine. Your gonna pay 25.00 a person and there is so much reading that your kids aren't gonna to let u get thru it. Very little kid entertainment that I saw. Just a roller on the wall with A B C for the kids to read and choose a fact. There is also an impressive 911 memorial that appears they have steel from the actual buildings. My husband is super tall 6'4 and was able to reach to touch the suppose artifact... the steel is Rubber...look closely and u can tell it's rubber or leather. Its not a real artifact and left me wondering how many other artifacts are fake? I was disappointed about it as I have seen real pieces from the towers in Baltimore. Still interesting exhibits though. ALSO this places closes firmly at 9p.m. and adviced that so allow your self time for your money. You will be rushed out with only seeing half of this place if your reading and looking at everything.read more

What an amazing walk through history. It’s not just filled with serial killer paraphernalia, it’s filled with an amazing assortment of knowledge and history. Many options available, scavenger hunt for kids, a handheld phone that reads everything for you, or you can just walk around yourself. Be prepared to spend many hours because there is a lot to look at.read more

Karen Hall

2018-09-15T22:11:36+0000

I visited today with my son. the museum itself was great. the staff could have been better though. the girl that took our money seemed annoyed when I said we were local, when we got to the stairs where she said to give our tickets to another girl she wasn't there and when she got there I asked if she wanted the tickets and she rudely answered yes. there were a couple other things that made it not as enjoyable but I will visit again.read more

Erin Brower Oates

2018-08-30T07:34:51+0000

My career is in public safety and my major was psychology, so of course I'm interested in all things crime and deviant behavior! This museum exceeded my expectations. There are so many interesting and informative exhibits, I wish we had been able to spend more time to really take it all in. We did the Top Detective challenge, which turned out great because we had to work together as a team to find the answers. My only complaint is that my mom and niece kept leaving me behind because I was absorbed in one exhibit or another and they were ready to move on! I definitely want to visit again when I have more time. Free up 3-4 hours and go, you won't regret it!read more

Alcatraz east is one of the best attractions in town. I was here 3 hours and didn't finish everything. there is so much to do and see here its value is insane for your admission alone, not counting the Heist and Audio Tour (the latter of which I did opt for). Will definitely be coming back sometime. If they still gave stars I'd give it 5 stars!read more

I loved this place. Easily spend about 3 hours here. Looks like a gimmick, but totally not! My only gripe is the gift shop was lame. I was so ready to drop like 30 dollars on a serial killer Tshirt but there wasnt many choices.read more

Cyndi Boley

2018-08-06T23:13:46+0000

I recommend everything about Alcatraz East Crime Museum! I throughly enjoyed it! Actually everyone of my family members did, their ages ranged from 46 all the way down to 9, and we all enjoyed it. It’s interactive, educational, and most of all fun (something’s were a little creepy, but we loved it!) It was our favorite activity that we all did as a family together. It was also nice to learn how we all share a love for history.read more

Heather Mathe

2018-08-03T21:04:06+0000

I loved this place! Didn’t do much reading up on it before going, I didn’t want to be disappointed if it was just another tourist trap. I was SO happy and surprised that it was so much more! I could have easily spent another 2 hours there ontop of the 2 I was there! Loved it so much!!! Especially the serial killer room, I always find them so fascinating and to see John Wayne Gacy’s clown outfits, art set from prison, Jeffrey Dahmer’s handcuffs, Charles manson’s Guitar, writings from the Zodiac killer, was very cool. Would recommend for crime buffs!read more

Joseph Mark

2018-08-03T00:57:37+0000

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

We loved it and had a great time. I’m alazy reader We enjoyed it so much! I’m a lazy reader who would have preferred less reading but that’ s absolutely my choice. Really loved the serial killer section which was so intriguing! Was just wondering.......were those the original clown costumes or replicas? The only one that I wish I had the guts to look at was the Michael Vick one. I saw the dog fight papers and started to cry as I’m a Pitbull Mom. Next time I go back I’ll be a not so lazy reader and I’ll look at everything! It was a great, fun way to spend a lot of hours!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. Or better yet let there families support them. Used to be like $75,000 per year per inmate what a shame! Place is awesome.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!!

Our family was pleasantly surprised with this museum! We purchased the VIP tickets and it was well worth the money. We spent over 5 hours in this museum just learning so much about past and current criminals and criminal activity. The Top Detective Challenge was fun to find all the answers to the questions in the guide book. Our teenagers had a blast finding the answers faster than Mom and Dad. But the most fun was the Heist! Trying to navigate yourself or even you and your teammate through the laser security system in the fastest time without setting off the lasers. You talk about tricky. Thanks for the great experience and the memories. We will definitely be back!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

2018-05-31T15:17:45+0000

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

WAY more than the few cars I expected. Took us 3 hours and could have taken another 2 hours if we had stopped and read everything. Only suggestion I have would be to add more benches (preferably with seat backs) to accommodate us “elders”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
