Ferry Access to Ellis and Liberty Islands
The ferry connects the two harbor islands with departure points at Battery Park in Manhattan and Liberty State Park in New Jersey. Use the route to plan which island receives your time.
Why go
Ellis Island's museum and Liberty Island's statue reward different kinds of visits, but the ferry brings them into one harbor outing. Your departure side changes the start of the day, while the island sequence and return schedule determine how much time remains for the museum. Verify the current route before assuming both stops fit.
Useful to know
Choose the Manhattan or New Jersey departure point that suits your approach to the harbor.
Check the official ferry timetable, island sequence, and last return before setting museum time.
Allow for screening and the crossing in addition to time on either island.
