Do I need separate tickets for each site or is everything included?

Everything is included in one ticket: 9/11 Memorial Museum entry, Statue of Liberty access, the Statue of Liberty Museum, Ellis Island Museum entry, and roundtrip ferry service between all three locations.

What is the skip-the-line benefit exactly?

You bypass standard admission queues at the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Ferry and Statue of Liberty queues are managed by ferry capacity and are not skip-the-line.

Can I visit the sites in any order?

You'll start at the 9/11 Museum in Lower Manhattan, then take ferries from Battery Park to Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Ferry itinerary is fixed (typically Manhattan → Liberty Island → Ellis Island → Manhattan), so you visit the Statue of Liberty before Ellis Island.

How long should I spend at each location?

Plan 1–1.5 hours for the 9/11 Museum, 1.5–2 hours on Liberty Island (including the monument and museum), and 1–1.5 hours on Ellis Island. Ferry transit takes about 30 minutes total between locations.

Is there an option to go to the top of the Statue of Liberty?

This package includes general Statue of Liberty and Liberty Museum access. Crown or pedestal access (additional fee/ticket) is not specified in this bundle; verify with your supplier.

Comfortable walking shoes, water bottle, sunscreen, light layers (weather changes on the water), and a small bag (large bags not permitted at 9/11 Museum). Bring ID for ferry security screening.

Insider tips

★Start early at the 9/11 Museum (lower Manhattan) before heading to Battery Park for ferries; the museum is emotionally intense and benefits from unhurried time.
★Ferry schedules run frequently but can have delays; arrive at Battery Park 30 minutes ahead of your ferry time.
★Wear comfortable walking shoes—Liberty Island and Ellis Island involve significant outdoor walking and stair climbing.
★Bring water and sun protection; Liberty Island has limited shade and can be exposed, especially mid-day.

Good to know

•Duration is approximately 5 hours total; plan for flexibility depending on crowds and personal pace.
•Bag policy: small bags only at 9/11 Museum; large bags must be checked (fees may apply).

•Accessibility: 9/11 Museum has elevators and accessible routes; ferry and Liberty Island are wheelchair accessible, though Ellis Island has some stairs.

our guide Ana had so many stories and the carvings on the main temple wall was the highlight, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and covered 3 sites in one go.

our guide Sven was nice enough, but the view from the old fort ramparts felt a bit rushed honestly. Last day of the trip. Would only really suit you if youre not fussy, covered 3 sites in one go. Bit disappointed ngl, would only really suit you if youre not fussy, covered 3 sites in one go.
