How Crowded Is Statue Of Liberty National Monument in April?

April runs about 1× Statue Of Liberty National Monument's average month, which makes it an average month here — roughly 9% of the park's yearly visitors come in April.

In a typical April the park sees about 326,000 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes April the 5th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the July peak (1.7×) and the February low (0.4×).

On our Best Time to Visit score April rates 53/100 ("Fair"), versus the top-rated September at 68/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical April weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 63°F and an overnight low around 44°F, with about 3.9" of precipitation.

That average of about 53°F is a comfortable range for hiking and being outdoors all day.

Because June, July and August together draw about 38% of annual visitors, choosing April instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 13.1 hours of daylight in April to explore — between the 9.1-hour midwinter low and the 14.9-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 3,538,231 recreation visits, down 4.9% from 3,722,029 in 2024.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 28%, so April may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
