We took the ferry to Liberty Island early morning, which was perfect for avoiding crowds. The statue is even more impressive up close than we imagined! The pedestal access gave us amazing harbor view… Full review by Riannon K

Great place to visit just don't speak to the scammers outside the site in high vi's reporting to be official ticket sellers. They aren't and will swear blind they are the only ones selling tickets. G… Full review by David T
Hi we have 11am tkts to Statue of Liberty to include crown and pedestal. What time will we get back to land/ Manhattan?

I agree. If you just want to get to the statue, run up to the crown, take a picture, run back down and to the next boat and skip Ellis Island, you might be able to do it in 3 hours. But I would recommend you take your time. Lucky you for getting a ticket to the crown well in advance! All sold out when I looked and no way to get there without a bought in advance ticket.
After reaching Liberty Island, the Park Service website talks about a secondary security screening for those entering the Statue of Liberty. They seem strict, so I was wondering if my family would be allowed to take binoculars. It's my understanding that there is an observation area at the top of the Pedestal. Thanks in advance!

As a follow-up, my kids each had a large pair of binoculars (hanging by a neck strap) and they were not a problem. Lots of people had binoculars or cameras with large lenses. …
As a follow-up, my kids each had a large pair of binoculars (hanging by a neck strap) and they were not a problem. Lots of people had binoculars or cameras with large lenses. Unfortunately, the day we went was foggy, so the views weren't so good, but the experience was well worth it.
Hello! I'm planning a family trip to the Statue of Liberty, and I have a couple questions, please! From the Visit The Crown section, the National Park Service website says: "Tickets are non-transferable. The names of those in your party must be provided at the time of purchase"... "The name on the ticket must match the name on the photo ID for each ticket holder." It also says: "Each ticket holder will be required to show photo ID (except minors without ID) matching the name printed on the ticket prior to entering the Statue of Liberty." First question: My one daughter is 17 now, but will turn 18 in July. Our trip isn't until August. She doesn't drive and has no photo ID. Will she still be considered a minor at 18, or will this be a problem? If so, are there any acceptable substitutions? We're US citizens - would a US Birth Certificate work? Second question: my older daughter will be working a job during the summer months, and may not be able to make the trip. The backup plan is to have her uncle go with us and use her tickets for the SOL, Empire State, a Broadway Play, etc. But obviously, his ID won't match the name on the SOL ticket. The rules from the National Park Service website were quoted from the "Visit The Crown" section. However, those tickets are sold out for our travel dates, so we'll be doing the Pedestal instead. Do those rules about the non-transferable tickets and having the names printed on the tickets still apply for the Pedestal ? I have no alternatives - if my daughter can't make the trip, will her uncle need to wait out in the car while everyone else takes the ferry and SOL tour?

As a follow-up, no one asked to see ID for our Pedestal Reserve tickets. It didn't seem to matter about the names on the tickets matching the ticket holders. Again, this is for the Pedestal …
As a follow-up, no one asked to see ID for our Pedestal Reserve tickets. It didn't seem to matter about the names on the tickets matching the ticket holders. Again, this is for the Pedestal Reserve Tickets, not the Crown tickets.
We have tickets to go up to the Statue of Liberty crown at 2pm from the NYC side. Will they let us board the ferry early so we can still make it Ellis Island? Or is there any way to see both as they say if you board at 2pm then there's not enough time to do both.
A:
It should not be an issue , but I will always contact them directly Customer Care Statue Of Liberty Tickets
