Reservations and Monument Access: 

For visitors planning to enter the Monument, a mandatory secondary screening is necessary and visitors must be in possession of a ticket that states “Monument Access”. The “Monument Access” reservation system enables holders to visit the museum gallery and pedestal observation levels. Access into the Statue of Liberty above the pedestal observation level is not permitted.

“Monument Access” is available at no cost with the purchase of a ferry ticket from Statue Cruises.  An easy way to receive yours is by purchasing a RESERVED TICKET and selecting the Monument Pass option. The RESERVED TICKET option is strongly recommended for visits planned on weekends, during holiday periods and daily from MAY through SEPTEMBER as visitation is quite high.

If you are uncertain as to when you will visit, Statue Cruises offers a FLEX 3 DAY TICKET option. THIS OPTION WILL NOT INCLUDE MONUMENT ACCESS. However, a limited number of “Monument Access Passes” are available daily at the ferry ticket booths. FLEX 3 DAY TICKET holders, may upon arrival, visit the ticket booth to request a “MONUMENT ACCESS PASS”, but are not guaranteed to receive one, These passes are distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. “MONUMENT ACCESS PASSES” are not available at Liberty or Ellis Island.

All visitors regardless of their selected ticket option are permitted to visit the Liberty Island grounds and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. 

You may select the ticket option that meets your need on line at www.statuecruises.com or calling 1-877-LADY-TIX (1-877-523-9849).

The Statue's original torch was the first part constructed in 1876. In 1984 it was replaced by a new copper torch covered in 24K gold leaf which is lighted by floodlight at night. The original torch is currently located in the lobby of the monument. Access to the torch has been closed since 1916.
