Ellis Island - New York City, New York
Visiting the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island, two of the most recognized symbols of freedom and democracy, can be an exciting and memorable experience. Here is some key information about the park to help in your planning.
There are many things to experience when visiting Ellis Island. Self-Guided Tours: The three floors of the Ellis Island Immigration Museum were designed as a self-guided museum. The Ellis Island brochure guides visitors through the museum exhibits at their own pace. Allow several hours to explore the museum. See a movie and learn about the island’s history and our nation’s immigration past by joining a ranger-guided tour. Venture through the many galleries contained in the main building or search through the database of immigrant manifests and discover your family’s ancestry at the American Family Immigration History Center.

Hey! I just read your post about the cool things to do in NYC, and thought you might want to check out UloveNY.com. It’s a pretty cool video guide site about New York and they have all kinds of information about parks, restaurants, attractions, etc. They all have a ton of Top 5 lists. Might be a helpful resource!
