Activity itinerary

Statue of Liberty

Begin your visit on Liberty Island, home to one of the most iconic symbols of freedom in the world. Stroll the grounds at your own pace, take in stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, and explore the Statue of Liberty Museum, where you'll learn about the statue’s design, symbolism, and evolution over time. Stand face-to-face with the original torch, discover how Lady Liberty was constructed, and hear the powerful stories behind her enduring legacy. With our companion audio guide, you’ll uncover lesser-known histories—like the immigrant labourers who helped build the statue and the suffragists who used it as a backdrop for protest.

Statue of Liberty Museum

Step inside the Statue of Liberty Museum to explore the rich history, design, and evolving symbolism of Lady Liberty. See the original torch, view historic photographs and artefacts, and interact with immersive exhibits that trace the statue’s journey from concept to global icon. The museum offers powerful insights into what liberty has meant across generations—and how that meaning continues to evolve today.

Ellis Island

Step onto Ellis Island, the historic gateway through which over 12 million immigrants entered the United States. Walk the island’s grounds and stand inside the Great Hall, where families waited in long lines filled with hope, fear, and anticipation. As you explore with your companion audio guide, imagine the powerful reunions that happened at the Kissing Post, where loved ones embraced after passing inspection. This is more than a visit—it’s a chance to walk in the footsteps of those who helped shape America’s storey.

Ellis Island Immigration Museum

Located inside the main building of the former immigration station, the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration tells the storey of the American immigrant experience. Explore interactive exhibits, original inspection rooms, and thousands of personal artefacts that trace journeys from around the world. Listen to real voices through oral histories, see passenger manifests, and learn how immigration shaped—and continues to shape—the nation. It’s a deeply moving tribute to courage, resilience, and the pursuit of a new life.
