It's a truly remarkable experience. We enjoyed the view and were fascinated by the skyline. I liked hiw we were not rushed at any time. We were able to enjoy the view on thr outside and the amenities in the inside of the tower.

There was a seamless check in. The staff were welcoming& friendly. They guided me through the journey with adequate information like the path, time to get up with the elevator. I appreciate simple gestures. I've visited the edge twice. This time in the winter they informed me of the conditions but I went ahead because they were kind enough to inform me.

What to expect at Statue of Liberty tours

1/7

Ferry ride to Liberty & Ellis Islands

All monument visits begin with a round-trip ferry from Battery Park (NYC) or Liberty State Park (NJ). The ride offers skyline views and sets the pace for the experience, with TSA-style security screening required before boarding.

Exploring Liberty Island at your own pace

Standard tickets let you walk the island grounds freely, get close to Lady Liberty, and enjoy open views of New York Harbor. You can explore at your own rhythm using a self-guided audio tour available in multiple languages.

Statue of Liberty Museum experience

Your ticket includes entry to the Statue of Liberty Museum, where interactive galleries explain the monument’s history, symbolism, and construction. Highlights include the original torch and immersive exhibits that add context to your visit.

Ellis Island & Immigration Museum visit

Most tickets also include Ellis Island, home to the National Museum of Immigration. Expect powerful storytelling through photographs, personal artifacts, and the Wall of Honor, offering insight into America’s immigrant past.

Guided tours for deeper historical insight

Guided tours add structure and storytelling, with expert guides leading you through Liberty Island and Ellis Island. These tours often include priority ferry boarding, curated routes, and richer historical and cultural context.

Sightseeing cruises for a relaxed alternative

Cruises sail near Liberty and Ellis Islands without stopping, focusing on skyline views, live narration, and photo opportunities. Options range from quick express cruises to sunset and evening sailings, ideal if you prefer a lighter, time-efficient experience.

Sunset & evening experiences

Sunset cruises showcase Lady Liberty against golden-hour skies, while evening sailings highlight illuminated landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan. These experiences emphasize atmosphere and photography over in-depth exploration.

Things to know before booking your tickets

The only way to get to the Statue of Liberty is by ferry. Round-trip ferry rides to Liberty Island and Ellis Island are included in your tickets.
Keep in mind that the ferry transfer is different from the cruise. The ferry is primarily designed as transport to Liberty Island, where you can visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The cruise will take you around the harbor near both islands but you will not be able to disembark at either of them.
If you don’t know where to start, cruises and guided tours are good options that require the least amount of planning.
The guided tour gives you reserved priority access to your ferry tickets.
Arrive early in the day and try to catch the first ferry as crowds tend to get larger later.
Both Liberty Island and Ellis Island are entirely wheelchair accessible. However, access to the crown is not suitable for guests with mobility restrictions. Service animals are allowed inside.
If you're worried about leaving your pet alone all day, don’t fret. Pets are allowed on the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Sightseeing Cruise.
For the cruise, infants will not be provided with an extra seat and have to be seated on your laps.
Go for combos or a city pass in case you want to visit multiple attractions in the city to save money and the effort of booking individual tickets.
