Yes, especially for crown access — tickets sell out 3-6 months ahead. Pedestal — 1-2 weeks ahead.
Children 4+, but climb is challenging — 354 steps up narrow spiral staircase. Not for claustrophobic.

Book crown tickets 3-6 months ahead! It's the most limited ticket in NYC.
Combine with Ellis Island — ticket includes both islands. Immigration museum is excellent.
