This was a really interesting experience! It is so informing about the experiences of 7 million people who came to the United States! Buy tickets before hand. We got flex tickets which I recommend. The audio tour wasnt that great. Reading the info on sight is more than sufficient. The audio guides do gives more info but not tons. The... more

This was a great experience especially if you're a history lover. Despite what others may say the audio tour is not worth the $4 you can just read the signs. It was interesting to read about the immigrants experiences and see some of the things they brought, and see where they stayed. more

The tour guide was so sweet, and make the attraction so much fun, and the people were so attentive, and caring. I would love to do it again, I am planning a visit on my Birthday again next year. My trip was so exciting, I really enjoy my visit, and the hotel accomodations were excellent, near all the main sights,... more

Loved it! The audio guide was great and worth $4. have to also say we had lunch at the mueseum, normally we avoid eating at these places due to the price and quality but Ellis island was an exception, reasonably priced, tasty food and good selection and service. To get to it go to Batery park to the castle and... more

My husband, dad, and I visited Ellis Island and the Statute of Liberty over the Memorial Day weekend. We were all extremely impressed with Ellis Island (more so than even SOL) and spent nearly 3 hours there. I highly highly recommend getting the audio guide, it provides a lot of additional information not available to others. It was very moving... more

I think the museum at Ellis Island is very informative and basically explains to me how all the immigrants went to USA. A very good learning trip for me and it makes me sees American differently now. more

My dad came to Ellis Island from Christiania (now Oslo), Norway on September 7, 1920. When I walked in the front door, I realized that I was standing where my daddy could have stood. When I sat on an old bench, I sat where my daddy could have sat. When I saw the bunks upstairs, I could have seen the... more

Despite the negative reviews we decided we should visit the Statue of Liberty and I'm glad we did. We got the first ferry of the day and had no problems with the security checks. We found the guides helpful and good humoured. Do get a monument pass because the museum is interesting and the views from the pedestal just amazing.... more

My husband and I toured Ellis Island on April 1 and found the experience to be humbling and moving because we were able to visualize the immigration process of our great-grandparents and other relatives entering the United States. We drove to Liberty Park in New Jersey following the directional signs. You will rumble along a cobblestone road as you approach... more
