New York City: Governor's Island Ticket, Ferry, and Self-Guided App
From $10 per guest
1.8 out of 5 from 5 reviews
Take the ferry to the military base that New York forgot. This isn't just a park; it’s a 172-acre weird-history fever dream built on subway rubble and war stories. On this self-guided tour, you will walk the line between the Old World (19th-century forts) and the New (avant-garde terraforming). Step inside Castle Williams, the red sandstone "cheese box" that served as a damp, nightmare prison for Confederate POWs. Stand on the aviation ground where Wilbur Wright flew a plane with a canoe strapped to it because he was terrified of drowning. Explore high-concept arts hidden in former gunpowder magazines, then climb hills made of excavated city grit for a view of the Statue of Liberty that feels almost illegal. End your patrol with great food and cocktails by the water—because the best way to honor a former military black site is by eating tacos on it.
