Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration

The Best Museums in New York City, From the Met to the New York Transit Museum | Condé Nast Traveler

"Accessed by ferry from Battery Park at Manhattan’s tip, this quintessential New York experience carries you to Ellis Island and the National Immigration Museum, with the ticket also covering a visit to the Statue of Liberty up close. Expect excellent restoration work, a fantastic photography collection, and eager park rangers offering free guided tours every hour about the immigration process here between 1892 and 1954—an experience as informative as it is beautiful." - Charlie Hobbs, Andrea Whittle
