Sightseeing Jersey City
Statue of Liberty Museum Shop
1 Liberty Island - Ellis IslandThe iconic Statue of Liberty
An oasis among the state’s most populated area, the 1,200 acres of Jersey City’s Liberty State Park first opened in 1976 as New Jersey’s gift to America during its bicentennial. The expansive green space includes walking paths, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a nature interpretive center among other highlights scattered throughout the park, which was built in an area once dominated by railyards.
The Central Railroad Terminal, first opened in 1889 for now-defuncted train service, was restored and converted into a ferry ticket office for nearby Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, which can be taken in along the Liberty Walkway portion of the park. The Liberty Science Center features the world’s largest IMAX Dome theater, while Caven Point offers seasonal nature walks through a bird sanctuary in the middle of New York Harbor.
The park’s recreational opportunities are being expanded, as a 240-acre interior portion of the property is undergoing an ecological restoration that will reintroduce native tidal and non-tidal wetlands while creating new meadows and an urban forest.
