Organizing cosmic objects around the physical principles that unite them, the Rose Center creates a seamless journey from the outer reaches of the universe to the inner workings of planet Earth.

Conozca la gran dama de la ciudad de Nueva York desde cerca y personalmente con el tour a la Estatua de la Libertad.
El recorrido empieza con un poco de contexto, visitando sitios alrededor de Battery Park. Allí los monumentos conmemorativos rara vez reciben la atención que merecen, como los visitantes con prisa para subir al ferri. Las historias que tienen para contar merecen la pena, de manera que emplearemos menos tiempo en el Monumento Nacional del castillo Clinton, Pier A Harbor House, el memorial a los marineros comerciantes americanos, The Sphere y el memorial a los veteranos de guerra de Corea.
A continuación, saldrá hacia la isla de la Libertad, con entrada exprés para el ferri, de tal manera que no deberá hacer colas y podrá conseguir los mejores asientos - y como que salimos tan temprano (normalmente en el primer ferri, dependiendo de la época del año), llegará a la estatua antes que las grandes multitudes. Una vez allí, podrá disfrutar de fabulosas vistas de la ciudad y de un recorrido guiado que le llevará al pedestal, permitiéndole acercarse a la gran dama más que en una visita normal.
Allí su guía le hablará sobre este icono de la ciudad. Fue un regalo a América de parte de Francia y fue diseñado por arquitectos incluyendo Gustav Eiffel (cuya torre parisina le pueda ser familiar) aunque no fue acogida como se pensaba. Con un guía experto, aprenderá sobre la problemática y qué la hizo tan especial para la gente de Nueva York.
A continuación, volverá al ferri y se dirigirá a la isla Ellis, donde podrá seguir los pasos de 12 millones de inmigrantes. Con su guía experto, aprenderá sobre el largo proceso que las personas pasaron, caminará por las Escaleras de la Separación para entender los 2 nombres tan diferentes de la isla – ‘The Island of Hope’ (la isla de la esperanza) y ‘The Island of Tears’ (la isla de las lágrimas). Explorará la colección y las exposiciones interactivas de museo, con la oportunidad de hacer preguntas a su guía. El tour finaliza en la isla Ellis, así que podrá permanecer un rato más en la isla, o podrá volver en ferri con el guía.
Con pequeños grupos de 20 personas o menos, y saliendo en uno de los primeros ferris de la mañana, le aseguramos un viaje tranquilo y relajado, eliminando el estrés y frustraciones de una visita normal.

Tour guiado por la Estatua de la Libertad y el Museo de la isla Ellis.
