This screening is applicable only for visitors with either Crown or Pedestal tickets those who must enter the monument. Secondary screening is like the security check you must have gone through on the mainland before getting on to the ferry. If you have a Crown ticket and are climbing up all the way, you will need 30 to 40 minutes to reach the top.
If you decide to take the stairs, you will climb the stairs from the lobby to the top of the Pedestal building in 10 minutes. During peak times, you may have to wait your turn and maybe even let go of a ferry because it was packed. However, tourists are also known to spend up to three hours exploring the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. In effect, during peak times, you will need at least six hours to explore the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Museum to your satisfaction.
During non-peak hours, you can explore both these New York attractions in approximately four hours. Having extra time means being able to make room for some more leisurely activities. You could spend this time buying a souvenir or getting food, but definitely make sure you get some good pictures too. I always recommend leaving about 30 minutes to break on Liberty Island, but you could leave more or less time, depending on your preferences.
Ellis Island is where you can really expand your schedule. While an hour gives you a good sense of the museum, you need at least hours to really look through all the rooms and exhibits. Definitely still visit the Registry Room and Wall of Honor. Read about some of the personal stories and learn what life was like for an Ellis Island immigrant.
See pictures of an abandoned Ellis Island, and step into a recreated immigrant dormitory. Across the island from the immigration building is an entire hospital complex that once served thousands of immigrants. This 1 hour experience takes you through multiple abandoned buildings and explains the significance that the hospital played in the lives of many immigrants.
It must be bought separately either online or in person at Ellis Island. This is especially helpful if you have a reservation or timed booking to get to. As before, minutes would be plenty of time to make up for any boat delays, long lines or crowds.
Be sure to build in this buffer, no matter how long you choose to spend at the Statue of Liberty. It makes things so much less stressful! We do not provide wheel chairs. Personnel can provide assistance for the Disabled at the ferry boarding and departure. There are no rest rooms that are handicapped accessible on the boats. Please see the Accessibility section of our Plan Your Visit page to view additional information about services for the Disabled.
Each customer may reserve a maximum of 4 tickets. Only one reservation is allowed during any 6 month period. Children must be at least 4-feet tall.
Names of all ticket users must be provided at the time of purchase to be printed on the tickets. When presenting the tickets to access the Statue on Liberty Island, each ticket holder will be required to show photo ID except minors without ID matching the name printed on the ticket. Person purchasing tickets must be person attending tour. Unfortunately no. Children must be at least four feet tall and able to climb the stairs of the Crown unassisted.
Although small children are not allowed in the Crown, they are allowed free of charge with the other tours, such as the Reserve Ticket with Monument Pass and the Reserve Only and Flex tickets. The climb to the crown is a strenuous journey that encompasses steps in a cramped enclosed area with high temperatures.
The steps within the Statue are 19" 48 cm wide, are shallow and taper at one end. Head clearance is 6 feet 2 inches. All crown visitors must be able to climb up and down the steps unassisted. National Park Service rangers will be on site at all times to assist visitors. Since the statue is not air conditioned, interior temperatures can be 20 degrees higher than the outside. On hot days visitors should drink water at least 30 minutes prior to the climb. There are no rest rooms inside the statue itself.
The climb is strenuous and not without risk, and the National Park Service recommends that crown visitors have no significant physical or mental conditions that would impair their ability to complete it, including, but not limited to: heart and respiratory conditions, mobility impairments, claustrophobia fear of confined spaces , acrophobia fear of heights or vertigo dizziness. Your QR code precludes the need to pick up actual tickets; however, if you choose to pick up tickets at will-call, your tickets for the New York City departure point are available for pick up at the pre-paid ticket box office located inside Castle Clinton National Monument at Battery Park which is located at the southern tip of Manhattan.
We recommend you arrive at least 30 minutes 1 hour during peak travel season prior to your scheduled tour time to allow ample time to pick up your tickets and go through the security screening process airport-style security.
Thank you planetD.. Greetings from Greece. I will visit toronto for 5 days and New York for 7 days at octomber. Do you think its fair enough?? Wow, things have really changed since I visited the Statue of Liberty! There were no special passes or several month waits to visit the crown. But still being near the famous Statue and strolling there was a great feeling. Visiting Ellis Island Museum was also a memorable experience.
Glad you got a chance to visit her. My grandfather came through Ellis Island from Poland at age 11 — I find it so exciting that he was part of such a momentous time in US history. His story could have been lifted out of a textbook. He really embodied the American Dream of that era. Wow, that is amazing Liz. It was quite a monumental time in history. A whole country was being built on immigrants and what an amazing country it turned out to be.
We booked about 5 weeks ahead and could only get into the base. Thanks for the tip. The crowds seemed very light up there. But the security is stricter than at an airport they even have body scanning devices. Thanks for the great information. But you are absolutely right, I remember hearing announcements that you will have to check large bags and backpacks.
Security is very strict at the Statue of Liberty. It is much better to go with less. Thanks again for the great tips! Oh, this is a really nice post! I just love your photos! Seeing Lady Liberty was also a highlight for me, although I only got to see her from the Ferry, it was still a moving sight.
You have 9 days from the first use to get it all in. It seems that we all have the distant memory of peaking out the crown. That sounds like an amazing school trip. Table of Contents.
