ELLIS ISLAND and STATUE OF LIBERTY
Tuesday, September 26, 2017
From 1892 to 1954, millions of immigrants began their American dream here: The Great Hall, where the immi-grants were processed, the four rooms where immigrants were detained.
When today’s visitors disembark at Ellis Island, they stand under the recreated historic canopy – the same point where immigrants began the process toward American citizenship.
Included with your admission is the new 45 minute AUDIO GUIDE, inviting visitors to relive the immigrant experience as if “they” were the new arrival.
Roundtrip Ferry ticket allows you to depart Liberty Park, NJ and get off at both Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty Island.
