The tickets were about 19 dollars per adult if my memory serves to be correct. You go through airport style security, even though it's very quick, but that makes you feel safe while on the island. It's a short boat ride over that stops at Ellis Island and boats you past the scenic New York landscape. I loved it!! Also, there are professional photographers there that take pictures of you for 9 dollars a piece. We got 5 pictures for 45 dollars! Sooooo worth it!! The food there was good but pricey as you would expect. It was affordable though. The souvenir shop was one of the best in New York, only thing is that most of the souvenirs located within the shop we're pertaining to the statue of liberty. It's a nice outing for the entire family. We enjoyed it!!
