Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island: Entry Ticket + Roundtrip Ferry from New Jersey

About this experience

About Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island: Entry Ticket + Roundtrip Ferry from New Jersey The Statue of Liberty is a national monument on Liberty Island in New York Harbour, gifted by France and dedicated in 1886. Standing at 93 metres from ground to torch tip, the copper figure was designed by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi with its internal iron framework engineered by Gustave Eiffel. For generations of arriving immigrants, it was the first landmark visible from the Atlantic, and it remains one of the most recognised symbols of the United States. This ticket combines access to Liberty Island and Ellis Island, departing by roundtrip ferry from Liberty State Park in New Jersey at 1 Audrey Zapp Drive. Ellis Island served as the primary federal immigration processing station from 1892 to 1954, handling more than 12 million arrivals during that period. Together, the two islands form a single visit that covers both the monument and the history behind it. What to expect Tickets include priority entry into the Screening Facility Queue, which reduces wait time at the security checkpoint before boarding. The ferry crosses New York Harbour to Liberty Island, where visitors have access to the grounds and the Statue of Liberty Museum, which opened in 2019 and holds the original torch, replaced in 1986. The route continues to Ellis Island and the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration, whose Great Hall and registry room trace the processing experience of millions of arrivals. The American Immigrant Wall of Honor, listing over 700,000 names, is also included in the grounds access. Pedestal and crown access, guided tours, and locker hire are not part of this ticket. Wheelchair access is available throughout.
