Things To Do in Manhattan

Most travelers find that they could spend months exploring Manhattan. Whether it’s a romantic or a weird adventure you’re looking for, check out this list to get a head start on exploring.

Stand on One World’s observation deck at sundown. You’ll see a breathtaking, 360-degree skyline view that includes the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Cap the night off with dinner at the deck’s restaurant, One Dine.

2. Statute of Liberty

One of the best things to do in Manhattan is to see some important symbols of American history. The Statute of Liberty is a neoclassical sculpture that was a gift to the US from France in 1885.

Visitors can tour the Liberty Island grounds and Statute of Liberty Theater and Museum. Visitors can also access the statute’s pedestal, but can’t tour the crown area.

3. Ellis Island

Ellis Island was the processing station for more than 12 million immigrants to the US from 1892 until 1954. Visitors can tour the Ellis Island Museum of Immigration to learn more about immigration to this country. Outside the museum, patrons can search for possible ancestors who were processed through Ellis Island on commemorative plaques.

4. Dream House

One of the most unique things to do in Manhattan is to visit a museum called Dream House. Dream House is a light and sound installation in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. Dream house dates back to 1993 and was created by multimedia artist Marian Zazeela and composer La Monte Young.

Visitors experience shifting pitches and sound waves accompanied by a neon pink light installation. The installation is designed to show visitors that light and sound can be experienced in a new form or media.

5. Helicopter Tour Over Manhattan

If you’re short on time, a helicopter ride may be your best way to see this amazing city. Most rides will give you a unique perspective of Manhattan’s most iconic landmarks and buildings in only 20 minutes.

Sometimes these helicopter tours will fly you directly over the skyscrapers in Manhattan. Other tours will lead you over Brooklyn or along the Hudson River.

Ready to Travel?

If you’re ready to see any of these fun things to do in Manhattan, contact your travel agent today. Book your helicopter tour of the city before you arrive. With some advance planning, you can make this New York adventure a trip you’ll always remember.
