About Family Day 2019
Our day trip begins days before your actual arrival to Angel Island. You’ll be introduced to Look Lowe himself, a Chinese immigrant and Paper Son that made this courageous journey to Angel Island by downloading an interactive app on your cell phone or iPad. Through this app, you’ll learn how many immigrants were able to bypass the landmark Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 to gain entry to America through Angel Island.
We’ll begin the actual day’s journey, together, at the Tiburon Ferry, to meet your adventure guides for the day. They’ll creatively craft the environment before boarding the ferry that will simulate Look Lowe’s journey to Angel Island.
You'll follow many of Look Lowe’s steps and stories as you visit each area of the Angel Island Immigration Station site and experience unique elements specifically recreated for this day.
All will enjoy lunch and entertainment to close the day and celebrate our shared history as a nation of immigrants. Every person who completes Look Lowe's journey will win a souvenir prize, so come join the fun!
