Ellis Island is the perfect adventure to see iconic city sites and dive into your family history.

Ellis Island is accessible by a ferry from Lower Manhattan. It is a great place for families to spend the day and retrace their roots.

Nearly 40% of Americans have an ancestor who passed through the country's largest immigration station.

The Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration showcases the history of the island, where people came from and their journey.

Tickets can be purchased in-person or online and include admission to the Statue of Liberty.
