I've been to Alcatraz! It was an interesting trip. The ride over is beautiful and the tour is very worthwhile.

It's funny how you seldom do the "tourist" things in your own area. I found that to be true in Denver. Even though I lived there for 10 years I never toured the Mint and didn't drive Trail Ridge Road until the weekend before I moved to Texas. I'm sure there are plenty of Texas things I've never done even though I've been here for 24 years.
