A 1914 wooden railroad barge docked in Red Hook that kids can walk aboard to learn how goods moved around New York Harbor. It also hosts family performances and shows, with great views of the Statue of Liberty.
A round 1811 sandstone fort in Battery Park that once defended the harbor and later served as an immigration station and aquarium. Today kids can explore its walls and small exhibits, and it's where Statue of Liberty ferry tickets are sold.
The restored immigration station where millions of newcomers first arrived, now a museum where kids can walk through the Great Hall and search passenger records for family names. Included with the Statue of Liberty ferry ticket.
A ferry ride brings families to Liberty Island to walk around Lady Liberty and explore a museum with her original torch. Kids can pick up a free Junior Ranger booklet, and pedestal or crown tickets let older kids climb higher.
