There is no separate entrance fee for the Statue of Liberty National Monument itself, but there are costs associated with ferry tickets and various tour options that grant access to Liberty Island and Ellis Island[6].
As of mid-2025, ticket prices for adults are typically as follows[1][2]:
- General Admission: $25.50–$25.00 per adult, includes round-trip ferry service, access to Liberty Island, Ellis Island, and museums, plus an audio guide[1][2].
- Pedestal Reserve: $25.80–$25.30 per adult, includes everything in General Admission plus access to the statue’s pedestal and priority entry[1][2].
- Crown Reserve: $25.80 per adult, includes everything in Pedestal Reserve plus access to the crown of the statue (subject to reservation and ID check)[1][2].
Discounts are available for seniors (62+), children (5–13), and military, with prices ranging from $16.00–$22.80 depending on the ticket type[2].
Children under 4 are not permitted on Pedestal and Crown tours[2].
All ferry tickets include access to both Liberty Island and Ellis Island, as well as museum entry. Tickets must be reserved in advance for pedestal and crown access, as quantities are limited[2][3]. The National Park Service warns against purchasing from unauthorized third-party vendors, as Statue City Cruises is the only authorized ticket provider[3][7].
