Immigration - Learning about how only immigrants in 3rd class went through Ellis Island procedures. Was disappointed to learn getting in the base of Statute required extra tickets. Signed up for the extra tour of hospital area on Ellis Island. Had enough time since we were off your tour by then.

Don’t miss this. - The State of Liberty, was awesome to view in person. No politics, just patriotism and reverence. The museum was well done and well kept. Ellis Island also was a wonderful and very much worth spending time on. The walk through rooms were so informative. Ellis Island makes you humble. The tour indicated 2 hours but it was double that time.
