8. Take a Ride at Liberty State Park’s Liberty Landing Ferry
The Liberty Landing Ferry is owned and operated by Statue Cruises, the same ferry company that takes people to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. It is located at the Liberty Landing Marina near Liberty House restaurant on Audrey Zapp Drive and provides ferries daily, every half hour, to World Financial District. It’s a great way to get to Manhattan or Jersey and back, and you’re allowed to bring dogs and bicycles on board for no extra fee!
Here’s an insider tip: if you visit the Statue and Ellis via the New Jersey side, you can take this ferry to Manhattan after your trip to the islands, see some sights, and get $2 off your ride back to Liberty State Park on the “Little Lady,” as she’s also called. And it’s only a dollar ride to go across the water to Warren St. for access to the William Wall floating bar in the summer!
