TIPS

If you snag tickets to The Alcatraz Night Tour consider yourself very luck. A limited number of tickets are sold and they go fast so be sure to book it well in advance.

Food is not allowed or served on the island. Fill your bellies before departure.

Add time to your travel for parking. Make sure to take note of closing time. There is off street parking however the meters run 2 hours. I parked at Imperial Parking Garage on Bay St because it's 24 hours and close to Pier 33 which opens at 8am....and not a minute earlier.
