Q: Do I need to book pedestal or crown access in advance?

Yes, crown access tickets sell out months ahead. Pedestal tickets also require advance booking to ensure entry.

Q: How much security screening should I expect at the ferry terminal?

Expect TSA-style screening. Arrive at Battery Park at least 30 minutes early to clear security and board your ferry.

Q: Are there any restrictions on what I can bring on the ferry?

Large bags, coolers, and weapons are prohibited. Stick to small backpacks and essentials to speed up security.

Q: Is the Statue of Liberty tour accessible for wheelchairs?

Yes, ferries and the pedestal are accessible, but the climb to the crown is not due to narrow, steep stairs.

Q: What is the difference between a ferry ticket and a monument tour?

A ferry ticket only provides transportation. To walk the pedestal or crown, you must purchase a specific tour ticket.

Q: Can I visit Liberty Island without a guided tour?

Yes, once you arrive via the official ferry, you can explore the grounds and museum at your own pace.

Experience premium sightseeing for just $24.00—unbeatable quality at a fraction of the standard ticket price!
