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?

We seriously live on a farm and have very little "city" knowledge....

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.
