What is the best way to get to the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island from Manhattan(Times Square)?


Travel Info
We'll be in Manhattan in early September, and I just wanted to know the fastest/cheapest way to get to the Statue of Liberty. We don't want to rent a car, so we can save money on parking, so what would be the fastest way by subway, bus, train, etc.

Travel Tips
From Times Square, take the 1 subway downtown to South Ferry Station. From there, go to Castle Clinton in Battery Park to buy ferry tickets for the boat to Ellis/Liberty. Be warned, the lines are long so go very early.

Also, DO NOT mistake the Staten Island ferry for the Statue of Liberty ferry. The Staten Island ferry is free and will give you great views of the statue, but will NOT take you to either Ellis or Liberty islands.

I would say by boat. The sattue of liberty is not connected to Manhatton; it's on a seperate island, so definaly take a boat.

Take the 1 subway train to Battery Park/Staten Island ferry. It's the last stop. Then go to Battery Park and you'll see the signs for the Statue of Libery/Ellis Island.
