Creator's Key Takeaways

we've actually never done the fairy we tell people to do it all the time it's been on our bucket list for years

it's free which is awesome and they go every about 30 minutes I believe so super easy

highly highly recommend putting this on your New York list it's free to come and do which is awesome

this would be a great activity even in the winter because the inside of the boat you can go inside it's warm

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the Staten Island Ferry for a free view of the Statue of Liberty and city skyline
Sit on the right side leaving Manhattan and left side coming back for best views
Take the Battery Park Ferry on the way back for a different perspective
Check the schedule before coming, but ferries run every 30 minutes
Explore Battery Park area after getting off the ferry
