Trip to Ellis and Liberty Islands!

It's back! The trip we took to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty was so popular last time we went we had to add a second bus! And we are going again!

This trip includes coach bus ride to New York where you will get off at the Ferry. The Ferry will take you to Ellis Island and Liberty Island, however PLEASE NOTE* WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PRE-PURCHASE GROUP TICKETS TO GO INTO THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. You must buy these on your own. The limit is 4 per person, the website to purchase them ahead of time is:http://www.statuecruises.com/ferry-service/welcome.aspx

Please read their site well, there are many rules for entering the Statue. We are leaving from BATTERY PARK.

You can also buy them the day of IF they are not sold out.

We would have loved to have included that but the rules prevent us from doing so.

You can still go to Liberty Island and walk the grounds you just cannot go into the Statue without the extra tickets.

~It is recommended if you are going to both Liberty and Ellis Islands to visit Liberty first, as that is the loop the ferry takes. You will learn more on the day of the trip when you arrive, but if you have questions, please see below, give us a call or send us an e-mail and we will be happy to help.~

Ellis Island is an amazing place, you can look up your ancestors on their computers for a nominal fee. The exhibits are breath-taking as is the Island. They have ferry rides coming and going all day so you can go and leave as you wish. Some people went to Liberty and Ellis then walked around NY for awhile. It's YOUR day!

Cost: $68.00 includes coach bus ride, driver gratuity, ferry ticket to Ellis and Liberty Islands.* (see above for ticket information to get into the Statue of Liberty.)

A non-refundable $5.00 deposit is required to hold your spot, this trip is going to fill quickly!

How to Register: You may call the Guild at: 789-9301 and pay by credit card, you may mail in your registration, please include full name, address, phone number, and who you are traveling with along with your check made payable to: SKRC.
