Statue of Liberty Tours and Tickets

Q: Do you need reservations to visit the Statue of Liberty?

No, you don’t need reservations to visit the Statue of Liberty. However, to guarantee your admission and ensure a smooth experience, booking your ferry ticket and tour package in advance is recommended—especially when demand is highest during summer, school holidays, and weekends.

Q: How do I book a slot for the Statue of Liberty?

To book your tickets to the Statue of Liberty, you must purchase via Statue City Cruises, the only licensed ferry operator servicing Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Statue City Cruises offers a range of options, with some tours granting access to the statue’s crown and sections of the pedestal.

Q: Is there a waiting list for the Statue of Liberty?

No, there is no waitlist to visit the Statue of Liberty. However, booking tickets in advance of your visit is highly recommended. The most popular tour options, including those granting access to the statue’s crown, sell out first—and are worth booking up to six months ahead of time.

Q: How far in advance should I book the Statue of Liberty?

While day-of tickets are sold via Statue City Cruises (the only licensed ferry operator), it’s advised to book your tickets at least several weeks in advance of your visit, especially during the summer and other busy periods. For tickets to visit the statue’s crown, it’s best to book multiple months in advance.
