Lady Liberty
Ellis Island

This is the Main Building on Ellis Island. It was the point of entry of 12 million immigrants to the U.S. between 1892 and 1921.

Today it houses a museum and family research center that focuses on archival and genealogical records for the descendants of those immigrants.

Possibly more fun than the Thanksgiving Day Macy's Parade itself, the day of the balloon inflation draws throngs of people to the two city blocks between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue near the American Museum of Natural History.

Watch as our most well-loved fictional characters are transposed from a state of "flat as a pancake" to "fully blown."

Once inflated, sandbags and netting are used to hold them to the ground until parade time.
