About

Join The Cottonwood School for an unforgettable journey to the legendary Alcatraz Island! Step aboard for a day of mystery, history, and adventure as we explore the eerie cells, storied hallways, and breathtaking views that make “The Rock” so iconic. Join fellow students, teachers, and friends on this exclusive tour where we'll dive into the fascinating past of one of America's most infamous prisons. From tales of daring escapes to learning about the island’s unique wildlife, this is a field trip you won’t want to miss. Grab your spot, bring your curiosity, and prepare for a day of discovery on Alcatraz Island!

Explore the windswept island and learn about its layered history through outdoor interpretive signs, a Discovery Guide island map, and exhibits.

Details about the trip including the ferry schedule will be given at a Parent Zoom meeting prior to the trip. Attending families must ride to the island with Cottonwood but will be available to leave when they wish.
