Alcatraz at night---with 5 yr. old?
We will be visiting San Francisco later this month, and want to see Alcatraz at night. I know our 16 and 14 yr. olds will love it, but will it be too much (spooky, long) for our 5 yr. old?

The "night" tour I went on left at 4pm, and we caught a ferry back around 7 and it was barely sunset, we weren't stumbling around in the dark, plus the outside is nice, with the lighthouse etc, I didn't think it was creepy like an old hotel or hospital might be. Maybe some people do, I got more of a historic, museum vibe than a ghost vibe.

Personally, I would not recommend the night tour. Part of the fun of the tour is to see San Francisco, the bridge, etc from the water. You will have pretty lights, but what you see during the day is much better. The day tour is also better inside Alcatraz.
Your teens will love the day tour. They make it very fascinating.
