This was a rip off. I selected the option that promised access into the statue and then when we got there, we were told there is no access. The representative who welcomed us was rude when I tried to speak to him about it, yelling at me. Our guide was funny and decent, but after he spoke to us, we had appx. 20 minutes to see the statute if we wanted to continue the guided tour on Ellis Island. I live in NYC. I arranged this experience for 16-year-old and his family as a birthday present. They came from MD. Big disappointment for $$ spent
