Reviews of Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration
MJGDefinitely a must do when visiting NYC. This place is iconic. The amount of people that have came through here when immigrating to America is substantial. The museum here is fantastic. Much more informative than I thought it would be. I wasn't expecting them to have so much information on many of the immigrants on display here. The architecture is very nice as well and the lineups in mid July to get back on the boat weren't too bad. The grounds are beautiful, washrooms are clean.
Highly recommend.
5/5.

MariaLet me start with recommending you visit as early as possible. My husband and I took the 9am ferry from Liberty State Park, New Jersey to Ellis Island. I say this because we spent a very long time visiting the museum and when we’re leaving the museum to continue to our next stop, the Statue of Liberty, there were crowds of people coming to the museum. I think silence is incredibly powerful when your walking through the steps of the immigrant experience. But maybe that’s just me…
I consider The Journey: New Eras of Immigration” exhibits one of the most profoundly emotional experiences. It focuses on immigration from 1954 to present times. It offers self-reflection of what is considered one of the greatest privileges- living in America.
We also took the time to search the passenger database which includes names but also other collected information as well. It was very interesting, you should check it out.
The store within the museum is filled with more reading and fun. We bought quite a few books and Gertrud’s Teddy Bear.
Both my husband and I were moved by our visit to Ellis Island, we agree it is the highlight of our trip to New Jersey/New York.
Quinten KlingonsmithTo really enjoy this visit, be prepared to read a lot. The immigrant experiences portrayed through the museum exhibits are very engaging, and the best part of the trip. It really makes you appreciate not only your own ancestors, but all those who have come seeking a better life. Make sure to get up to the second floor. The architecture is amazing.
Dan QuineTruly fascinating glimpse into a time when America welcomed mass immigration. If you get the chance, take the hard hat tour of the unrestored hospital. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and you get to see a part of the island that is not otherwise accessible. It is haunting and fascinating. Highly recommended.
Rohan RoyWow... so much to see, listen and absorb. If you are truly interested in American history and want to know all about the early immigrants then you need at least 4 hours here at Ellis island to go through the exhibits and audio messages. It's spread over three floors. So please plan your trip accordingly. If you just want to glance through then you can complete the whole thing in an hour. Enjoyed the Fresh lemonade at the cafeteria and the ice cream was great too
JohnThis was a great experience. The museum here is large, and explains in honest and interesting detail the significance of this fascinating island and its significance to the United States and its history. This is an absolute must-do for a trip to New York and I’d recommend it to anyone.
Anthony O'Connell-GrosIncluded in your ticket you can visit this museum on the way back to New York. I think its worth it as the museum has a lot of cool things and you can learn a lot. The museum is big so despite there being many at the statue the museum is decently empty. The only thing is it gets quite repetitive, with the samenor similar information multiple times. Still worth a visit though.
Michael ChristopherThis museum is very nicely set up with good displays. It is inside one of the original Ellis island processing buildings and they have restored most of it. if you want to have a nice day learning about history this is the place to go. the ferry ride from NYC .
NJ Cruzloved the riches and vast amount of information available at Ellis Island. The history, preservation of artifacts, documents and pictures makes it a valuable experience. If you really wish to make the most of it, plan for at least 3 hrs.
Staff was helpful. Cafeteria and gift shop on site!
Jennifer LeThe only way to visit is via City Statue Cruises, which also takes you to Liberty Island. Audio tour is included in the price (about $24 to take the ship to both Ellis Island and the Statue Liberty), which takes you through the journey of coming to Ellis Island as an immigrant as well as the process of restoring the immigration center. There’s a decent cafe and you can sit in the actual dining halls. When I was there the research center where they will help you search for your ancestors was closed. Can easily spend 3-4 hours here.
