Liberty Island, New York City, New York, 10004

The Basics

Statue of Liberty tours start with a scenic ferry ride to the island, where you can explore the grounds or head to the famed 10-story-high observation pedestal to see the original torch. From there, enjoy great views and photo ops of the New York City skyline and neighboring New Jersey. You can also secure tickets to the crown but be prepared to climb 354 steeply winding steps to the top.

Guided tours feature live narration and historical insight, while informative audio tours explore the construction and restoration of the monument. The monument is also a highlight on New York Harbor cruises, city helicopter tours, and waterfront walking tours.

Tour guide Dave Gardner was excellent, informative and respected our intention to explore. Served as a touchstone for information but did not confine us.

Loved it 😍 Amazing ride. Very exciting not for the faint of heart. My husband loved the turns, and a beautiful way to see the Statue of Liberty without going on the island!

NYC Statue of Liberty Tall Ship Sail aboard Clipper City
From being given your boarding tokens to stepping off the Clipper,it was wonderful! Staff were friendly and engaging. We were encouraged to help with the ropes to rise the sails, which was great fun ! The weather helped because the Sun was shining, there was a trumpet player, playing jazz, the bar was open and the Clipper was a fine specimen of a ship, plus we had amazing views of the Statue of Liberty and the wonderful New York sky line.

Statue of Liberty Ticket, 9/11 Memorial and Wall Street Tour
Seeing and hearing a bit of the history around Wall Street and the 9/11 memorial was good - it was, however, a little rushed due to the warm weather. Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island were fantastic to go to and see up so close.
