January 3, 2014 - Weather Advisory - Due to the Winter Storm the National Park Service has suspended ferry service for Friday, January 3, 2014. Ferry Service to the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island will resume on Saturday, January 4, 2014.
On Monday, October 28, 2013, Ellis Island has reopened to the public for the first time since Hurricane Sandy. Open areas inside the Ellis Island Immigration Museum include the Great Hall and the Peopling of America exhibit. Outside, visitors can stroll the Wall of Honor and take in fabulous views of Manhattan. Elevator access to the second floor is not available but should be restored by early 2014.
Statue Cruises offers year round daily service to the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island, minimal wait time to enter the screening facilities at either Battery Park, New York and Liberty State Park, New Jersey. We strongly suggest you book in advance to guarantee access inside the Statue of Liberty with a Crown Ticket or Pedestal/Museum Pass.
Please keep in mind that you will be on your feet for most of your visit and that you will be travelling by boat. Boat decks also can somtimes be wet and, of course, you will have to walk along a gangplank to board and to disembark from the boat. Please consider appropriate footwear during your visit to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Statue Cruises recommends against wearing open-toe footwear and flip flops for safety reasons.
