Assistive Listening Program

The park has been working on improving park programs to visitors who are hard of hearing. We have been working with contractors, park staff, and visitors on ensuring that visitors who are hard of hearing have the opportunity to effectively participate on Ranger and docent led tours. We have been training our park staff, Conservancy, and docents on Assistive Listening Devices.

 

Alcatraz Assistive Listening Program

---

This program begins at the ticket booth when you pick up your tickets and check in with the staff. You can be outfitted with a receiver at the booth and ask question regarding its use.

The Pier 33 announcement, boat announcements, Alcatraz dock announcement, and the intro video "Stories From The Rock" are all on channel 3. But you will have to change the tactile knob to other channels for docent led tours and other programs throughout the park.
