"The staff were kind enough to open just for us on a Tuesday. That was so considerate of them, and my students had a really nice time and learned quite a lot about the history of the museum . We also learned about the different types of lights that sit atop the houses along, with their use and purpose of guiding vessels at night so that every ship travels safely. Thanks again for your kindness. We had a wonderful time."

"Small but interesting place with good foundational scientific facts about lighthouses and deeper historical information about the people and events around them. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The small gift shop at the front desk is cute and really affordable. Parking situation could be improved; it’s all the way out at the ferry terminal and parking lot (about a 5 min walk). Very clean restrooms."

"A fun and fascinating museum, the National Lighthouse Museum is only a short walk from the St. George Staten Island Ferry Terminal. The museum offers a brief but engrossing history of lighthouses in the US, as well as a collection of miniature lighthouses from around the world and through history. The dedicated staff is friendly and explained the layout of the museum. Even the restroom is on point with a lighthouse theme! As of May 2023, it's a smaller institution which makes it a fairly quick but enjoyable visit. The lovely views of the Verrazano Bridge and the narrows from the nearby park are an added bonus."

"I love lighthouses! But this is not a lighthouse converted to a museum. Instead, it is the national lighthouse depot that assembled French-made lens into lamps, fog horns, toilet paper holders, and whatever lighthouses needed. They are still in hopes for the restoration of the foundry and other buildings. The 4 minute film is informative, and the miniatures of many lighthouses were fun for me because I have visited more than one. If you ride the free Staten Island Ferry, it is just a few blocks away, then hop back on the ferry to get back to the Battery Park area."

"This place is great for everyone. It’s a decent size and the staff really do a good talking about the lighthouses and their history. You first start your visit off by looking at over a hundred mini lighthouses and then watching a 4 minute video about their history and the rest is up to you. The cost is adults $7 students with ID $4. I would recommend anyone to go here since it’s a great experience."
