The tour route may change to accommodate the weather, but will generally include the cellblocks, center surveillance hub, Al Capone's Cell, and the newly restored Alfred W. Fleisher Memorial Synagogue. There are even photographs of the inmates' holiday celebrations on view. Tickets can be reserved online or by phone. Tickets are available at the door, subject to availability. Reservations are strongly recommended.
