| Things To Do |
Do you know the Statue of Liberty's address? The nation's tallest immigrant calls Jersey City home—and the ferry ride from Liberty State Park is the quickest and easiest way to visit her. Get back on the ferry from Lady Liberty for a quick trip to Ellis Island, and discover how millions of immigrants experienced the "American Dream" in the early 20th century.
Back on the mainland, drop in at Jersey City's Liberty Science Center. This high-tech science center re-opened in July 2007 after a $104 million expansion and renovation project - with new exhibits, almost twice the space and both 3-D and IMAX theaters.
Round out your visit to Liberty State Park with a stroll down to the Jersey City Waterfront along Liberty Walk, a 1.3-mile section of the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway with stunning views of the New York Harbor and the NYC skyline.
Hungry yet? Head to uptown Jersey City to experience the spices and flavors of India - right on Newark Avenue. India Square offers a heady variety of curries, dosas and dishes from the tandoor in our many Indian restaurants. When you're full, wander through the local Indian shops for a great selection of Indian groceries, clothing, jewelry and the latest Bollywood hits.
What's next? You decide. Museums, art galleries, theaters, shops, historic buildings, parks... there's so much to do here, you'll discover something new each time you visit Jersey City.
