It is an opinion. Honestly, I think Ellis Island is more important and provided more purpose, whereas the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France. Important, yes, but not beneficial. Not that it should be given any less respect, but everyone goes to see Lady Liberty and Ellis Island is not as popular. I've heard they are usually both crowded, but when I went, we were the only ones on the boat going to the island and had the whole museum to ourselves. The Statue of Liberty is beautiful and has a grand history, but Ellis Island's history is also very interesting and so much deeper. If you are deciding which one to go to, try to go to both, but if not, Ellis Island. You take a boat ride just past the Statue of Liberty to get to Ellis Island, so you take pictures on the way there.

It wasn't. The Statue of Liberty was built on Liberty Island (previously known as Bedloe's Island) in 1886.
The Statue of Liberty has NEVER stood on Ellis Island. The Statue has its own island - Liberty Island (originally Bedloe's Island) - which is next to Ellis Island. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.

No, the Statue of Liberty is located on its own tiny island, called Liberty Island. Liberty Island is roughly one and two thirds to one and three quarters of a mile off the West Side of Lower Manhattan, in Upper New York Bay. Liberty Island is roughly three and a third miles from the northern tip of Staten Island.
