Easy to book. A lot of people, but that's to be expected...the checks are quick and the shuttle service is well organised to connect the 2 islands. The 2 museums (Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island) are very well done. I particularly recommend the audio guide for the visit to Ellis Island. It's a must-see that we don't regret.

Ticketing was done online. We just showed our paper ticket and hopped right on the bus. We loved seeing and hearing (don't forget to take earphones that are free) places on the bus. Very easy to get off and get back on.

It was super easy to buy tickets online and the experience inside the building was wonderful. It is worth it a thousand times over.

I've used Headout a few times and it has been reliable. I think the service charge is high but so is the charge on other ticket services. It would cost more to get to NY an buy the tickets at the boxoffice.
