9/11 Memorial passes--is it really necessary to reserve in advance?
I will be in NY in a couple of weeks and I want to see the 9/11 Memorial. We will be doing so much in NY and I don't like to commit to a certain time and date in advance if I don't have to. I looked at the web site and it seems there is plenty of availability on the days we will be there. Do you think it will be OK just to show up without a reservation?
Thanks.
Thanks.

You do need o reserve to avoid a long line since there are tons of tourists in the area right now, but you can generally do so online the day before or sometimes even the same day. BUT you have to be able to print out your confirmation.

Yes, you must absolutely buy those tickets in advance. Otherwise you wait hours ... As in plural ... And then are likely not to be able to enter the statue. But it's likely far too late for crown tickets. Just book the earliest possible ferry and see if you can get tickets to enter.

Doug, thanks for that helpful info. I tried in August to get tix for the crown and they were already sold out then but I thought we would still to go Liberty Island. However if the museum on Ellis isn't open then we might just save both islands for another trip.
Time to make a new plan, thank you all.

*********UPDATE********
We did get passes in advance and thank God for that because there were at least 100 people in the line for not having a pass, while those of us with passes were ushered on in. It was well worth a visit and I highly recommend it.
