28 Best Museums in New York City
"Although the address is technically in Jersey City, this is a quintessential New York City experience—one that you access via Battery Park at the bottom of Manhattan. It's from here that you board the ferry—either the Miss Jersey or the Miss Liberty—that will deliver you to Ellis Island and the National Immigration Museum. That this boat ride also takes you not only past but up to the the Statue of Liberty herself, with the $25 cost of your ticket covering a visit to the monument as well as the museum, is merely icing atop what is on its own one of the city's best museums. With excellent restoration work, a fantastic photography collection, and eager park rangers giving free guided tours every hour about the immigration process that occurred here between 1892 and 1954, it's an experience as informative as it is beautiful." - Andrea Whittle, Charlie Hobbs
