Step by Step

Begin your experience by crossing New York Bay on a comfortable and safe ferry that departs approximately every 60–70 minutes from Liberty State Park in New Jersey. The journey offers unforgettable views of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty itself, just as immigrants saw it upon arriving in America.

Upon disembarking at Liberty Island, you can stroll at your own pace around the monument and visit the Statue of Liberty Museum, where you’ll learn about its construction, its symbolism of freedom and the broken chains at the foot of the statue. The included audio guide will share anecdotes and little-known facts whilst you admire this 1886 marvel up close.

Next, the ferry will take you to Ellis Island, home to the National Museum of Immigration. Explore its interactive galleries and discover the stories of families who arrived in search of a new beginning; you’ll be able to browse archives and view photographs documenting the passage of over 12 million people through this cultural melting pot.

Once the visit is over, you’ll board the ferry back to New Jersey, reflecting on the ideals of freedom that this statue has embodied for over a century and feeling grateful for the opportunities you have today.

    Pure excitement from the ferry to see Lady Liberty. Late voucher, yes, but everything flowed afterwards.

    Windy on the ferry, not serious. Arriving 10 min early was ok, I found my way around easily.
