Field Trip Planning

1. Prepare For Your Day

Bringing a class to Liberty Island can be a fun, memorable, and an educational experience! Resources are available below for self-guided tours. Children also have the option of participating in the Junior Ranger program during their visit. There is a different program found on each island. Audio Tours are included with the purchase of your ticket.

2. Book Your Field Trip

Although the National Park Service does not charge an entrance fee, there is a fee for ferry transportation to the island. For more information, visit Ticketing Information: School Groups. Once you are ready, you can Purchase Group Tickets (through Statue City Cruises).


3. Other Helpful Information for School Groups

Before coming to Liberty Island, check out the following links to help with planning your group visit. You can check the Educational Programs, Weather, Ferry Schedule, Directions, and information on Security Screenings. The National Park Service requires that there be one adult chaperone (age 21 or older) for every 10 students in your group. Chaperones are to remain with their group at ALL TIMES.
