Choosing your departure sets the tone for the day. Pick based on transit, parking, and your appetite for lines.


Departure Best For Watch Outs
Battery Park (NY) Central location, classic NYC day Heavier lines at peak times
Liberty State Park (NJ) Easy parking, quicker security Less transit if you’re staying in Manhattan

With kids or cars, NJ is a stress saver. For a Manhattan‑only day, stick with Battery Park.
