Governors Island has multiple viewing areas for this year's eclipse and suggest taking the 2:30pm ferry from the Battery Maritime Building.
Western waterfront esplanade, near the entrance to Collective Retreats or alongside Castle Williams.
The top of Outlook Hill, or one of the switchbacks in the ADA-accessible path.
The ridgeline of Discovery Hill.
Picnic Point, the southern-most point on the Island.
They will also have free, ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses available on a first-come, first-serve basis at the Security Office at Building 140, located right at Soissons Landing when the ferry arrives on the island.
