Ellis Island

This museum has a couple interesting things, but it is 90% reading and pictures on the wall. The building itself was neat to see, however it wasn't any kind of "experience" It was like reading a textbook and looking at the pictures...for 3 whole floors. Many of the pictures or text is repeated too. It would have been better if they made it into two floors and have some actual room set-ups of how it was at the time. We saw one bunk bed area, which was cool and that was about it.
I recommend visiting the NY Tenement Museum instead.
A worker mentioned many of the Ellis Island museum items were damaged in Hurricane Sandy, so perhaps that is what happened. But I have to admit I was hoping for a better experience.

I always enjoy coming here, it never gets old!

Awesome place to visit but fair warning, the signs to for the entrance, parking, which way to walk to the boats and pretty much any other vital info you need aren’t very good. Leave yourself time to figure it all out.

So amazing. Lots of history here. Give yourself hours to explore and see what they went through.
