How Crowded Is Statue Of Liberty National Monument in July?

July runs about 1.7× Statue Of Liberty National Monument's average month, which makes it a very busy month here — roughly 14% of the park's yearly visitors come in July.

In a typical July the park sees about 527,000 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

It is the single busiest month of the year at Statue Of Liberty; February, the quietest, runs only about 0.4× the average — a 4-to-1 swing between high and low season.

On our Best Time to Visit score July rates 39/100 ("Poor"), versus the top-rated September at 68/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical July weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 87°F and an overnight low around 69°F, with about 4.7" of precipitation.

That average of about 78°F is warm enough that midday heat is worth planning around.

July falls inside the park's busiest stretch: June, July and August together pull about 38% of the year's visitors, so a visit this month means sharing the park with the peak-season crowd.

You'll have about 14.6 hours of daylight in July 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 July may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
