Abandoned Ellis Island Hard Hat Tour
$96. Includes ferry tickets & museum admission
What to Expect
The south side of Ellis Island has been closed since 1954. In this 4-hour experience, you will put on a hard hat and walk the abandoned hospital complex that processed and treated millions of immigrants: the laundry building, the contagious disease wards, the autopsy rooms, the staff house, and the former morgue. Your round-trip ferry ticket from Castle Clinton, Manhattan is included. You'll also encounter JR's 'Unframed' exhibition, life-size photographs of immigrants superimposed on the walls of the decaying buildings. Led by a Save Ellis Island docent. Your ticket directly funds the restoration of this extraordinary place. Maximum 15 guests.
