[/caption] There is now a new way to get to Governors Island! For the first time, visitors can access the Island from Queens and Brooklyn on Fridays during our public season. Starting tomorrow, visitors can take the new East River Ferry to the Island. Normally, the fare for the service is $4 for a one-way trip, but from now through June 24, the trip is FREE! The service will take visitors to Governors Island from now through September 25. On Fridays, the trip to Governors Island is part of the Lower Harbor Loop which also includes stops at Atlantic Ave./Brooklyn Bridge Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park/DUMBO, and Pier 11/Wall St. The ferry lands on Governors Island approximately every half hour from 11 AM to 4:15 PM. So get out on the water and take the East River Ferry to celebrate a new way of getting to Governors Island this season.
