You can purchase tickets online and obviously they have different tour levels, purchasing online will save you a lot of time and purchasing the reserve ticket will also get you in the priority boarding queue. I purchased them right from my phone once I saw the line to purchase tickets. The line waiting for an empty ferry is actually quite long on a daily basis, they do have more than one ferry transporting back and forth which makes the line move a little faster. There is only so much room on the ferry and on a hot day, the wait can be miserable in the sun so be sure to squeeze into the crowd when boarding the boat to ensure you're part of the cut off, having to wait for the next ferry. The ferry ride is relaxing and on a hot day can help to cool you off. Looking at lady upon approach to the island liberty closeup is something quite spectacular and considering the difficulty they faced in getting the foundation of the statute initially built, its even more amazing closeup. The tour will also take you to Ellis Island which is well worth the time and extremely informational. The old hospital on the island is also really cool to see and they do have a tour which would allow you to see parts of the old hospital which I at some point will have to do. I thoroughly enjoy spending time on Ellis island not just for the history lesson and opportunity to get a close up of the awesome architecture but also just sit back and look across the water at the magnificent skyline. This is a good relaxing way to spend the afternoon. Cheers!

Read more »n a package, with GO City, we were able to visit 7 places for one price. And the Statue of Liberty was one of them. It was very windy when we were here, but maybe that is also because it is such a small island. Even though it was windy we went inside the Statue and saw it from the inside, half way there was this spot with even a better look out over NYC! If you book early on, you can even go to the head of Liberty, but we hadn't bought that. You need to book this 6 months before you visit the Statue of Liberty, it would have been a great experience but that is for the next time. I would recommend to come in spring instead of in the winter months! We also visited the museum of the Statue of Liberty which was a great addition to the experience, because of this we knew way more about the Statue of Liberty. Overall it was amazing, if you have time please go and visit this!
