INFORMATION
If you go
Island tours: Guided outdoor walking tours will be offered late June through early September. The 60-minute, 1 1/2-mile tour will be held twice daily, Tuesday through Friday. Each tour will be limited to 40 people. Tickets are only available on a first-come, first-served basis the day of the tour. No advance reservations are possible. Ferries to the island will depart from Bowling Green/Battery Park in Lower Manhattan. Tickets for the tour and ferry will be distributed at a separate location. Details of the location and the cost of the ferry will be announced soon; check www.nps.gov/gois/pphtml/planyourvisit for updates.
Tips: The National Park Service cautions that some visitors last summer found the tour more strenuous than anticipated. Wear comfortable shoes, sunscreen and a hat; bring water; be prepared for a brisk walk outdoors with only a few very brief stops.
