There is no entrance fee to Ellis Island. Ellis Island was incorporated as part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument on May 11, 1965. Between 1892 and 1954, approximately 12 million steerage and third class steamship passengers, who entered the United States through the port of New York, were legally and medically inspected at Ellis Island. Reopened on September 10, 1990 after a massive restoration, the Main Building on Ellis Island is now a museum dedicated to the history of immigration and the important role this island claimed during the mass migration of humanity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. ACCESSIBILITY The exhibits, theatres, restrooms, gift shop, cafeteria and island grounds on Ellis Island are accessible. Closed-captioning is available for the 30-minute documentary film, "Island of Hope, Island of Tears" and the Inspection exhibit video in 2-West. A limited number of wheelchairs are available at both Liberty and Ellis Islands on a first-come, first-served basis.
