About this experience
The classic NYC heritage day: ferry to Liberty Island for the Statue & museum, then on to Ellis Island’s National Museum of Immigration. General Admission gets you both islands; add Pedestal or Crown if you want to go inside the monument (limited, timed).
What's included
- Round-trip official ferry service (Battery Park, NY or Liberty State Park, NJ) to Liberty Island and Ellis Island, plus audio guides and access to the Statue of Liberty Museum & Ellis Island National Museum.
Who it's for
- All ages; families and first-timers. Crown/Pedestal have strict, limited tickets; crown caps apply per person/order.
What you'll do
- Board the ferry → explore Liberty Island & museum → continue to Ellis Island for the immigration story. To comfortably do both, catch a pre-1:00 pm ferry.
Before you go
- Buy only from Statue City Cruises (the only authorized provider)—avoid street sellers.
- Airport-style security before boarding; secondary screening for Pedestal/Crown. Prohibited items must go in 25¢ lockers on Liberty Island (coin returned).
Good to know
- Departures: Battery Park (NYC) or Liberty State Park (NJ). Hours & frequency vary by season/weather; check the day’s schedule.
- Pricing guide (General Admission): Adult \$25.50 (child/senior discounted). Pedestal/Crown are limited and may price close to GA.
Why this is worth it
Two islands, one ticket: Statue + Ellis. Book with the official operator, aim for a morning ferry, and use the lockers if you’re doing Pedestal/Crown.
