New York CityPass Adds Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island to savings booklet

New York CityPass added the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Immigration Museum to its 2008-9 program booklet, effective May 1, 2008. The time and money-saving ticket booklet, a select assortment of marquee New York attractions and experiences, offers an option to land at Liberty and Ellis islands with Statue Cruises, a new National Park Service operator. At almost half-off savings, New York CityPass takes a meaningful bite out of Big Apple travel costs.
CityPass travelers now have a chance to take their time to see Lady Liberty. An option ticket–the sixth, with five other single-attraction admissions in CityPass booklets–offers a choice to depart from Battery Park on Statue Cruises, cross to Liberty Island and disembark for close-up, neck-stretching proximity to the United States’ most powerful symbol of freedom, democracy and international friendship. Also included is entry to Ellis Island’s immigration museum and exhibits, a reminder of the millions who passed through the historic facilities as immigrants. Three to five hours are recommended to take full advantage of this access to distinguished, legendary American landmarks.
The other choice of the Option Ticket is a Circle Line Harbor Cruise along the edges of Manhattan, an expertly narrated tour of show-stopping views, the city skyline, lower Manhattan, Statue of Liberty, bridges and tunnels, memorable characters and dramatic moments. The boat cruise, with photo opportunities that trump taxi window angles, requires only two hours.
Time is money in this world capital. From trip planning to pushing open attraction doors, CityPass clears the way. Five other carefully selected tickets let first-time and repeat visitors avoid sometimes-lengthy ticket lines and gain easy
