First make sure you set aside a minimum of 3 to 5 hours for a complete tour of the Statue.of Liberty and Ellis islands.. tickets are available at the battery park. And from battery to getting into the ferry it takes around one and a half hours. The ferry ride to the statue of liberty park is fun and exciting. And the views from the ferry both of the Manhattan skyline and the statue are exquisite. The statue of liberty national park has restaurants, a museum shop and if your ticket allows it you can go.right to the top of the statue. There are audio tours available at the park and even if one does not have time tickets to go the top of the statue, a tour of the grounds is exciting as well..
