Getting out in 2025

Alcatraz Island is a powerful symbol and a transformative national park experience—more than 1.4 million people visit each year to engage with its story, from incarceration to Indigenous resistance to ongoing conversations about justice and equity. See our fact sheet to learn about the power of Alcatraz.

National parks are where history speaks—and where we learn from the past to shape a better future. Stand with national parks like Alcatraz today.
