Alcatraz Private Gardens Tour
$100.00
Unlock a rare opportunity to explore a hidden side of Alcatraz Island—its quietly stunning historic gardens. Once tended by inmates and guards, these resilient plantings now thrive under the care of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. Led by expert garden guide Shelagh Fritz, you’ll enjoy a private, behind-the-scenes tour through lush terraces, blooming borders, and windswept paths that most visitors never see.
The historic gardens were restored in partnership with the Garden Conservancy beginning in 2003 and transformed from tangled overgrowth to hillsides overflowing with flowers. On the tour, you’ll gain an appreciation for the history behind the gardens and the dedication it took to restore them. Whether you’re a history buff, a plant lover, or simply someone who appreciates the unexpected, this exclusive experience offers a fresh perspective on one of San Francisco’s most iconic landmarks.
