There are many things to experience when visiting Ellis Island. Self-Guided Tours: The three floors of the Ellis Island Immigration Museum were designed as a self-guided museum. The Ellis Island brochure guides visitors through the museum exhibits at their own pace. Allow several hours to explore the museum. See a movie and learn about the island's history and our nation's immigration past by joining a ranger-guided tour. Venture through the many galleries contained in the main building or search through the database of immigrant manifests and discover your family's ancestry at the American Family Immigration History Center.
