Alcatraz was great, but you need to buy tickets well ahead of time. I would buy them now, if you haven't already.
The cold is the other thing I would note. I went there in the summer and it was really cold sometimes. I have an aunt who grew up there and she kept telling me to bring warm clothes and I figured, yeah, I'll pack a sweater. That wasn't nearly enough. My understanding though is that their seasons are a bit messed up. Summer is cold, but it can get really warm in the fall. I'm not sure about the spring.
