about Castle Clinton:

Once (in the late 1800s) an aquarium, and before that an immigrant landing depot, restaurant and garden, and fort, Castle Clinton is now a roofless Visitor's Center, located in Battery Park, and holds a kiosk ticket outlet for ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

A 20-minute ranger-guided tour, offered daily at 10am, 12n, and 2pm, illustrates the colorful history of the site.

A bookstore and information desk are also located here, as well as a small diorama of the area in "olden times."

getting there:

By subway: 1 to South Ferry, 4 or 5 to Bowling Green, R or W to Whitehall Street. Staten Island Ferry to Battery Park.
