Ellis Island

No. Visitora would have to ride the ferry from either NJ or NY.

Yes look for the huge flag then keep walking straight then you will stARt to see the wall with names.

Great place to visit

Sure

Samuel Ellis, who I believe owned the island

It's basically inbetween New York and New Jersey, but definitely closer to New Jersey. I'd say it's on the border out in the water

If you want to go up to the crown of the statue there is an extra charge of $3 per person

No passport necessary to visit Ellis Island. The only way to get to Ellis Island is via ferry from New Jersey or New York.

I visited in Summer. It was 7 pm

Yes, but not a ferry. There are national Park boats that make the trip from Clinton Castle to both the Statue of liberty and Ellis island

Check out this website and put their last name in. https://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/passenger-result

No, since taking the ferry over to the Island you have to go thru TSA.

No, The NY boat always stops at Ellis before proceeding to the Battery.

Your ferry ticket to statue of Liberty include visit to Ellis Island. No need to buy separate tickets for Ellis Island

Yes very educational made me cry a bit

It was a processing center for immigrants who arrived by ship. The museum generally features exhibits regarding 'immigration' in the U.S., and how it had an impact on the country in the past and even in the present.

We just went directly to the park, buy the tickets for that day. No reservations

Yeah crown tickets will be sold off very early gotta book well in advance
