A really nice place if you already visiting the Liberty state park.

I visited Liberty State park to walk around. My Grandfather was a Train Operator for many years and I just fell in love with trains. This place was absolutely amazing! I love that they kept the old tracks. Inside was just beautiful! Free to walk and look around!

You can sit for hours and watch the sun set on New York City and watch the people go by. Very peaceful, just something about watching the lights come on is breathtaking.

Cooler Ort. Man kann einfach rein und rumschauen. Die Gleise sind jedoch abgeriegelt. Hat so ein bisschen "lost place" feeling.
Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Aber nur wenn man in der Ecke noch mehr macht. Nur dafür hin ist vll etwas wenig.

Loved visiting this olace. When youbwalk in it is quiet and away from NYC madness bit it breathes out history with alll the over grown train tracks. Best place to start your visit to Ellis Island and Liberty island to avod the crowds that you have from the Battery Park terminal.

Very cool vintage place. You meet here for the Statue City Cruise ship to Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty! If you are hear for the Statue of liberty, come early since the line might get long. I went in the morning, so not that much wait!

You have to visit this place of you want to visit Statue of Liberty. Here you will get tickets. It’s better to book in advance. They will charge one mask for 1$ if you don’t have one. Mask is mandatory.

What a surprise it was to discover this place, we enjoyed looking around and at all small items exhibited inside of still functioning station

I simply love the arches, vintage, green tin roof tops and freight rail cars. It is beautiful to enjoy from the outside (to snap pictures in front of) or take a tour inside as it is now it is a museum. It is right on the water and you can take in the view of the skyline, catch a ferry to Ellis Island/ Statue of Liberty or walk through the ghostly empty sky 9/11 memorial.

This amazing jewel of NJ Liberty State Park is a must visit. The historic terminal was the original way folks and goods traveled between NJ and NY before bridges and tunnels. The original port authority, I guess! But so well-crafted and beautiful.

The Statue of Liberty ticket office is inside the brick building. The shelters and ferry docks have seen better days. They were hit hard by Sandy. Fortunately the main building fared well and has been restored. You can only access some areas of the building. There are clean bathrooms. You can get water to top up your water bottle. Wandering around waiting for your ferry departure time is well worth an explore into the past of this once mighty facility.
