How to enter using your CityPASS ticket: Present New York CityPASS ticket at the "Reserve Line," to bypass the main line and proceed directly to security screening. You'll be in line to board the next available ferry. Redeem CityPASS e-tickets at the "Prepaid" ticket window, then proceed to the Reserve Line.

The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are protected national treasures. It is necessary to clear a security checkpoint – with airport-level security – prior to boarding the boat.

Advice for Visitors

• Allow at least 2 hours to visit one island and 5 hours to visit both islands. Expect to pass though airport level security prior to boarding the ferry. For more information, visit Statue Cruises' website.
• Current wait time is generally about 30 minutes to enter the screening facility at Battery Park, New York. And 15 minutes at Liberty State Park in New Jersey. Wait times are less during Autumn and Winter months.
• Guests who choose to depart after 2:00 pm will only be able to visit either Liberty Island or Ellis Island. Unfortunately, there will not be enough time to visit both landmarks.
• Crown tickets include the ferry ride. If you purchase a Crown ticket direct from Statue Cruises, use your CityPASS option ticket for a 2-Hour Circle Line cruise.
