Crown Tickets
— SOLD OUT thru' 2009
Each year, a lottery will give everyone an equal chance to see the Statue of Liberty's Crown. Make Crown Reservations online through the Statue Cruises web site — up to one year in advance. Maximum 4 tickets per customer. Only one reservation is allowed per 6-month period. NOTE: Tickets to the Crown are SOLD OUT thru' 2009.

Limited Numbers in the Crown
Only about 20% of the 12,000-14,000 daily visitors to the Statue of Liberty will actually reach the Crown. That breaks down to only 280 people per day — or 30 people per hour. Groups of no more than 10 people will visit the crown at a time. If you're one of the lucky few to snag a Liberty Crown Ticket, here's what you can expect.

Steep Spiral Staircase
— 354 Stairs
Visitors are required to climb a steep, narrow spiral staircase — 354 stairs to reach the Crown... and then down again. This is NOT recommended for anyone who is claustrophobic, suffers from vertigo or is out of shape. There's only one way up and one way down — no sliding down the rails, kids!

The Statue of Liberty has no air-conditioning, so be prepared for temperatures to be 20 degrees higher than outside. Be sure to drink plenty of water prior to your climb — note that there are NO restrooms in the statue.

Breathtaking Views
Once inside the Crown, the views overlooking New York's harbor and city skyline are truly magnificent!
