Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Ferry

Use your pass to board the Ellis Island ferry and get up close to one of the world’s most iconic landmarks—the Statue of Liberty. Once the first sight for millions of immigrants arriving in the U.S., Lady Liberty is a must-see on any New York City itinerary. Stroll around the Statue of Liberty National Monument at ground level for unforgettable photo ops, then step into the immersive Statue of Liberty Museum to explore her history, construction, and legacy, including a look at her original torch. With engaging, multi-sensory exhibits like a copper model of Liberty’s face and a reimagined sculptor’s studio, the museum brings the story to life. Afterward, continue your journey to the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, where admission is included, and dive into powerful stories of hope and heritage, perhaps even tracing your own ancestry. A self-guided audio tour is provided for both Liberty and Ellis Islands, letting you explore at your own pace while soaking in sweeping views of New York Harbor.

To visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, show your reservation date and time in the app at the "Reserve Ticket" entrance at The Battery, and ensure your pass is valid when scanned. After check-in, proceed through the security screening facility before boarding the ferry. Please note that access to the pedestal and crown of the Statue of Liberty is not included with your pass. This is a highly popular attraction and can book out quickly, so it's best to reserve your spot as early as possible, up to 7 days in advance. For a smoother visit, plan to arrive about two hours after opening time. Children under four are admitted free. The site is wheelchair accessible, with a limited number of wheelchairs available at no charge on a first-come, first-served basis (ID required), and guide dogs are welcome. All buildings and grounds on Liberty Island comply with ADA standards.
