Overview

Start your experience with a scenic ferry ride across New York Harbor, offering clear views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. This visit takes you to two historic landmarks that reflect the American story.
On Liberty Island, explore the Statue of Liberty Museum, home to three interactive galleries that trace the monument’s history from its design and construction to its role as a worldwide symbol of freedom. You are free to explore the island, museum, and surrounding grounds independently at your own pace.
Continue to Ellis Island, the arrival point for millions of immigrants to the United States. Walk through the historic halls and exhibitions that tell the stories of those who began new lives here. Here as well, you may visit all areas independently and spend as much time as you wish.
Your included audio guide provides meaningful context with personal accounts and historical insights while allowing you the flexibility to explore each location on your own schedule.
