So much history here, if the walls could speak!! Lots to see and read, you can spend a few hours here easily. Easy ferry trip between the city and the Lady. Full review by pattie1113

Have visited several times with different people as I feel it’s a must see in New York. As a family who had previous generations pass through the island it was good to see what they went through Full review by sloping_fungus

Hi! Did you do the Hard Hat Tour with another tour with a guide or did you just ride the ferry over and do the HHT? Wondering if both tours would be too much. Want to see the new museum on Liberty Island and then visit Ellis Island. Did the HHT tickets let you skip the lines?

Q:
How do I go about booking this "Hard Hat" tour that I have been reading about? Does it take the place of a "regular" tour or is it in addition? On this same note - where is the best place for a "country mouse" family of five to stay if we wanted to do Frozen one night and then Ellis Island the next day.

We went early on a Saturday morning in the fall. You could tell it was getting busiest throughout our time there. I think earlier is more important than what day. It is always busy but even with that I didn't feel overwhelmed.
