Statue of Liberty Pedestal
A reserved pedestal visit takes you through Fort Wood and up to harbor-facing observation levels; an elevator route exists, with limits at the outside balcony.

Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Ellis Island with our travel partners.
Choose the pedestal when you want a structured interior encounter with the monument and a higher harbor outlook. The NPS describes both stairs and elevators, plus a secondary security check. Its balcony and visible engineering provide a different visit from simply walking Liberty Island’s grounds.
What to look for
Harbor-facing observation levels
Interior views of the monument’s engineering
Useful to know
Reserve a pedestal ticket before travel; there is secondary screening on Liberty Island.
