Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Ferry
New York is full of iconic wonders, but none more so than the Statue of Liberty herself. Check out the exhilarating statue of Liberty tours while you're in NYC.
What you'll do
Use your pass to hop on the Ellis Island ferry, get up close to the world-famous green copper statue, and admire her torch and crown. It's the first landmark millions of immigrants saw on arrival to the United States, and a must-see on any trip to New York City.
You'll get to stroll around the Statue of Liberty National Monument at ground level and take all those close-up snaps. You'll also have access to explore the new Statue of Liberty Museum where you can learn all about the construction and history of the iconic landmark, and see historic exhibits like the statue's original torch. The free-to-enter museum also has plenty of multi-sensory exhibits - touch a copper model of Lady Liberty's face, step into the re-imagined studio space where she was created, and share your own story of liberty with an interactive photo app.
Once you’ve had your fill of the Statue of Liberty and taken in views of downtown Manhattan, you’ll head to the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, where admission is included. Here, you can learn more about the icon of freedom and even trace your family tree. You'll be provided with a self-guided audio tour of Liberty and Ellis Island - perfect for exploring at your own pace.
