Instructions on how to get to Linden rail station were given to me when they rang a few days earlier to confirm our visit. We were met at the station and at the end of the evening taken back to the correct platform for our return train back to Penn station. $17 return was more than reasonable. We had our photo taken with our own camera before boarding. Helicopter takes 6 passengers and we were seated according to weight. The right hand side has the best view throughout the ride. Pilot was excellent with a running commentary. He took us as close to the Statute of Liberty too. Highly recommend. Not the cheapest form of entertainment but wow in my book worth every penny. Great photos and memories. No hard sell. Thank you for a memorable evening.
