VISIT BATTERY PARK EMBARKING WITH LICENSED TOUR GUIDE TO THE LIBERTY'S STATUE |
Lower Manhattan lets out its breath in Battery Park, a bright and breezy greenspace with inventive landscaping and views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and America’s largest harbor. The squat 1811 Castle Clinton, on the west side of the park, is the place to buy tickets for and board ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
Ferries run taking and dropping off customers to visit both Liberty and Ellis islands and leave every thirty minutes from the pier in Battery Park in lower Manhattan.
The ferry goes first to Liberty Island, then continues on to Ellis, and it’s best to leave as early in the day as possible to avoid long lines (especially in the summer); note that if you take the last ferry of the day, you won’t be able to visit Ellis Island. Liberty Island needs a good hour, especially if the weather’s nice and there aren’t too many people; Ellis Island demands at least two hours for the Museum of Immigration.
