Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and 9/11 Memorial Pools Guided Tour

Enjoy a guided walking tour of Ellis Island and Lady Liberty, before heading to Battery Park by ferry. Then, visit the 9/11 Memorial, located next to the newly constructed Freedom Tower.

Your Experience

Meet your guide and board the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Your first stop is the Statue of Liberty, where you will learn interesting facts and stories about the statue and Liberty Island. For instance, did you know that Lady Liberty is struck by lightning 600 times every year? On days when there are high winds, the torch can swing by about 5 inches side-to-side!

Next, continue on to Ellis Island - once the country's major immigration station, and see the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. From here, head back to Battery Park and walk over to the 9/11 Memorial, located right next to the 9/11 Museum. A place of remembrance and tranquility under Manhattan's bustle, this is a must-visit. The twin waterfall pools here are encircled by bronze parapets that include the names of 9/11 attack victims and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
