The last ferry and final access times vary by season; expect last admission 30–60 minutes before closing and allow time for security.
Early morning and late afternoon offer softer light, cooler temperatures, and lighter crowds.
Reserve pedestal and crown access well in advance — crown tickets often sell out months ahead.
Occasional fee‑free days are announced by the National Park Service; check the official calendar.
