Statue of Liberty tickets and access
Book ferries, pedestal, and crown reservations — and add Ellis Island if you have time.
About the Statue of Liberty
Ferries depart from Battery Park (NY) and Liberty State Park (NJ) and stop at both Liberty Island and Ellis Island.
Pedestal and especially crown access require advance reservations; crown tickets often sell out months ahead.
A visit to the Statue of Liberty Museum on Liberty Island is included with your ferry ticket.
Audio guides and ranger programs are available in multiple languages at various times of the year.
Choose early departures for fewer lines, cooler temperatures in summer, and softer light for photos.

What to expect on Liberty Island
A day of history, harbor breezes, and unforgettable views — here’s an easy plan:
Arrive early for security and the first ferry. Start at the Statue of Liberty Museum to see the original torch and get the big‑picture story. With pedestal tickets, head inside for exhibits and elevated views; photography lovers will enjoy the skyline vantage points.
If time allows, continue to Ellis Island on the same ferry route. Walk the Great Hall, listen to voices from the past, and trace the journeys that shaped the United States before sailing back with the afternoon light on the harbor.
