The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Information

As a universal symbol of freedom and democracy, the Statue of Liberty stands over 300 feet tall on Liberty Island in Upper New York Bay. It is accessible only by ferry service, available daily from Battery Park in Lower Manhattan and from Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. A round-trip ticket includes stops at both Liberty Island and Ellis Island, which is nearby.

The park is open daily except Dec. 25th. Current park hours for Liberty Island are 9:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Time passes are needed to enter the monument. A limited number of time passes are available at the ferry ticket offices for walk-ins on a first-come, first-served basis or reserved in advance by calling the ferry company at: 1-866-STATUE4 (1-866-782-8834) U.S. calls only. Callers outside the U.S. can call the NY ticket office at: (212) 269-5755 or on-line at Circle Line-Statue of Liberty Ferry.

Visitors are able to view inside the statue through a glass ceiling, guided by a park ranger and an enhanced lighting and new video system. In addition, visitors can walk out onto the statue's observation deck to see the panoramic view of New York City and the harbor and to witness the Statue up close from her promenade. The statue's crown is not accessible and the torch has been officially closed since July 1916. Recent security concerns have resulted in some closures of the statue and museum.

The Statue of Liberty was designed by Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, a successful French sculptor, and built with private funds from French citizens to commemorate the American centennial and the French-American alliance of the American Revolution. Installation was delayed due to the lack of fundraising on the American side for a suitable pedestal, but the statue was finally commemorated in 1884. As part of the pedestal fund-raising effort a poem entitled "The New Colossus" was written by Emma Lazarus, including the famous phrase "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddle masses yearning to breathe free."

Visitors to the Statue of Liberty can also visit Ellis Island, where millions of immigrants entered the United States from 1892-1954. There are exhibits of the processing stations, as well as an Immigration Library and an oral history studio.
