Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum 2000 Montauk Highway, Montauk, NY 11954

"This is a cool landmark to check out. It is the eastern most point of the United States. The lighthouse museum is very historic with a very rich heritage. I’m a big history buff and love coming here. In the summer I usually come here before I head over to montauk beaches(Edison)"

"The value you get from this lighthouse is less about history and more with the fact that you visited the eastern tip of the continental United States. The lighthouse looks literally like something out of a postcard (see the pictures) and it carries the test of time with its bricks and walls. It is absolutely classy and perfect for a date hike. The views are great all around and if time permits, I highly recommend you take a stroll down to the adjacent beach. The tower itself is a single file passage and it does feel a bit claustrophobic, and yes, the view is great but you don't get to enjoy it because there'll be a long line in a single file waiting for you to get out. We visited in late fall during Thanksgiving and the drive towards Montauk Point was also quite a beauty. The endless colorful fall leaves that carpeted both above and the sides of the road was a scene to behold. Make sure to visit towards sunset. Although it is the eastern tip so you won't be seeing sunset into the horizon of the ocean, you'll absolutely enjoy orange skies towards the land, and the drive back will be absolutely phenomenal."

"It’s a stunning place to visit and unwind. The museum opens at 10.30 am, and adult tickets cost $15. Children under 42” in height cannot enter the lighthouse but can enjoy free admission to the museum. If you plan to visit the lighthouse, I recommend going early because there tends to be a long line. My daughter particularly enjoyed the underwater interactive session."

"It is a tourist attraction and part of history (First lighthouse in NY) so I am confused with people complaining about it being crowded (Duh). There is plenty of information and items on display. Admission is $15 and there is a seniors discount. This is in addition to the $8 in parking. It can get very windy. 137 steps on a spiral staircase to get to the top which on a nice day offers spectacular views. Interactive virtual aquarium for the kids as well."

"Visited the lighthouse at labor day with family. The ticket was$15 for adults and $5 for kids, and it is totally worth it. As long as you are willing to wait for somewhat half an hour-ish, you can enter the lighthouse and go all the way to the top. The view is magnificent. You will know it when you see the entire Montauk beneath you."
