Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island is New York's essential harbor journey, combining Lady Liberty, immigration history, skyline views, and two island museums in one ferry loop.

Start from Battery Park and treat this as a half-day experience rather than a quick photo stop. Walk Liberty Island's grounds and museum, then continue to Ellis Island for the immigration galleries; pedestal or crown access requires a separate limited reservation.

Book only through the authorized ferry provider or a clearly identified guided product. Security screening, boarding queues, wind, and the second island make the complete outing longer than the ferry timetable alone suggests.
