Statue of Liberty
and Ellis Island

Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, New York

The Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty re-opened August 2004. A "Monument Pass" (timed-pass ticket) is required to enter the monument. Ticket holders can enter the Museum Gallery and visit the Top of the Pedestal.
Note: There is NO acess above the pedestal level.

A limited number of daily tickets are available, on a walk-in basis, from the ferry company at no additional cost. Make your reservations early, esp during peak season (summer and holidays). Order tickets in advance: 877-523-9849 or 877-523-9849

Visitors have a choice of two tours:

1. Promenade Tour
The Promenade Tour takes visitors through the monument lobby, past the original torch to the Statue of Liberty Exhibit for a 20-30 minute Ranger-guided tour. Visitors then go outdoors on the lower promenade and Fort Wood for a brief talk. The area offers great views of the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor.

2. Observatory Tour
The Observatory Tour incorporates the Promenade Tour, plus a visit to the Pedestal Observation Platform, where visitors have an opportunity to view the Statue's interior framework through a new glass ceiling portal and take part in a ranger-guided program and learn about the Statue's design.

The Statue's crown and torch are NOT accessible.

Hours
Open daily year-round from 9:30am-5pm (extended hours during summer).
Closed Xmas Day

Expect crowds during peak seasons (June thru' September), holidays and weekends throughout the year.
