Audio Tour
The audio tours for the Statue of Liberty National Monument and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum are a wonderful enhancement to your visit and are especially useful for those with limited time.
The Statue of Liberty National Monument audio tour guides listeners through the unique history of Liberty Island, from its time as a fort, through the construction of the Statue and its establishment as a national monument. The audio tour also points out sights and landmarks visible from different places around the island. The audio tour also allows those with a Monument Pass full access to experience the musuem at the base of the Statue of Liberty.
The Ellis Island Immigration Museum audio tour guides people through all three levels of the historic Main Building and invites visitors to vividly relive the immigrant experience through first-hand immigrant accounts. Other options offer exploration of the exhibits in more detail via in-depth interviews with historians, architects and archaeologists.
Audio tours designed specially for children ages 6-10 are now offered for both islands. Featuring animal characters as guides, these tours are entertaining and informative and the perfect choice for families and school groups.
