The Ellis Island experience is a borderline simulation of turn of the century immigration. Standing in long lines, going through multiple security checks, and getting packed into boats to eventually see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island was reminiscent of the journey made by our ancestors. The museum closes early on Sundays, and so we were not able to see everything.
Don't purchase tickets from anyone else other that at Castle in Battery Park.
A wonderful experience. Highly recommend.
While you are at Ellis Island, plan to check out the Hard Hat Tour of the old hospital-- fascinating!
Not as exciting as Liberty Island, but still very interesting. There's a lot of history in the museum and you get to see what conditions were like for immigrants. Make sure you visit the Statue of Liberty first because you will likely spend more time on Liberty Island than Ellis Island and you don't want to waste any time as the last ferry leaves at 7pm.
Ellis Island Hard Hat Tour was very informative and fun
