Statue of the Liberty and Ellis Island Tour with Ferry

Once you arrive at Ellis Island, collect your multilingual audio guide at the Immigration Museum and explore the former busiest immigration station in the US, where millions of people from around the world came in search of a new beginning and a better life for their families in America. With access to the American Family Immigration History Center's records, you can research your family history and search all the ship manifests that came through Ellis Island.

After you finish exploring Ellis Island, return to the ferry and head to Liberty Island. Here, pick up another audio guide to learn about the history of the Statue of Liberty. Children can also enjoy a special narration during this self-guided tour. Once you're done, simply return to the ferry and make your way back to Liberty State Park. Don't forget to take note of the ferry's return times to plan your day accordingly.
