What is the crown of the Statue of Liberty?
- Seen from the outside, the crown of the Statue of Liberty crowns the monument with majesty, representing the 7 oceans of the globe. Inside, the head of the statue also hides a small observatory, accessible after climbing a narrow spiral staircase of 162 steps.
- This observatory is so cramped that New York authorities quickly decided to close it to the public in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis in March 2020. Since then, the crown has remained inaccessible even though the rest of the monument has reopened its doors. . , including the pedestal and the museum.
- The Statue of Liberty is therefore turning the page of Covid-19 today! The crown of the Statue of Liberty will be accessible to visitors again starting October 11, 2022.
How to visit the crown of the Statue of Liberty?
- To climb the Statue of Liberty crown, you must purchase a Crown Ticket from the official Statue of Liberty website in advance. Reservations open one month in advance, so you need to make sure your dates open as your trip approaches.
- Be responsive and ready to jump on availability because access is limited to just fifty people each day! The quota is already full by 11 October and the number of places available for the following days is melting very quickly! With around fifty places a day, this obviously won’t be enough when the statue receives more than 4 million visitors a year …
- Also note that a maximum of 4 seats can be reserved per booking. Also good to know: Crown tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
- If you can’t find other places for the crown, you can get a classic ticket, which includes access to Statue of Liberty Island, Ellis Island, and museums on both islands. You will find Statue of Liberty tickets on our website. Good to know: Tickets offered on our CNEWYORK site are refundable.
