Book Statue of Liberty tickets on the official ferry. Statue City Cruises is the only company authorized by the National Park Service to land at Liberty Island and Ellis Island — we book you onto that official ferry, hold your card through Stripe, and capture payment only once your slot is confirmed. Every ticket includes the round-trip ferry, access to both islands, and the audio tours of Liberty and Ellis Island. Stand on Liberty Island at the base of the statue, then ride to Ellis Island to walk the immigration museum where millions of arrivals first entered America. To go up into the monument, add reserved Pedestal or Crown access — both are capacity-controlled and sell out well ahead.
All tiers include the round-trip ferry, both islands, and the audio tours. Prices below are the official operator's published adult starting prices (verified at statuecitycruises.com); children 4–12 start at $17.30, seniors (62+) and military at $23, and children 3 and under are free. Pedestal and Crown access need a separate, limited reservation — we confirm your exact total and availability at checkout and never invent a number.

Reserve gives you the ferry and both islands' grounds — you stand right at the base of the statue. Pedestal adds reserved access to climb to the pedestal level (elevator available) for elevated views. Crown adds reserved access to climb the narrow staircase into the crown (ages 4+, minimum height 42"); it books out the earliest.
