South Ferry Station and the Statue of Liberty ferry at The Battery
The Statue of Liberty ferries leave from The Battery at the southern tip of Manhattan. What the National Park Service says, and what it does not.
October 7, 2026 · 1 min read
South Ferry is the southern end of the 1 train, at the tip of Manhattan.
The ferry: The Battery
The National Park Service says ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island leave from two places: The Battery, at the southern tip of Manhattan, and Liberty State Park in Jersey City. The Battery address is 1 Battery Place, New York, NY 10004. The Park Service asks visitors boarding in Lower Manhattan to use public transportation whenever possible.
Tickets
Statue City Cruises is the only ferry service the National Park Service authorizes to sell tickets for Liberty and Ellis Islands. Tickets are sold at the Statue City Cruises windows at Castle Clinton in The Battery, or by phone.
What the page leaves out
The Park Service page does not name any subway station, line or exit, so we do not give one here. In the game, South Ferry on the 1 line is the nearest stop in our data, next to The Battery on the map, but check the MTA's own signs for the station you are using.
Typing it
South Ferry is ten letters. It is the first stop when you type the 1 line from the south, and our 1 train guide lists the rest.
Exit names and walking times here are the ones published on the official pages listed below. Stations get rebuilt and exits close for works, so follow the signs in the station as well.
