Statue of Liberty

Amazing experience! Perfect for families and created some unforgettable memories. Although we’ve visited NYC before, we never planned ahead enough to visit the Statue of Liberty. The Crown Tour requires advance planning – we booked our tickets two months ahead to ensure everything went smoothly, and it was worth every penny! Be ready to climb between 200-500 stairs. We skipped the pedestal elevator and ended up walking the whole way. The spiral staircase leading to the crown is a real workout, so make sure to hydrate beforehand, especially since summer temperatures can get intense inside the statue. While the food is on the pricier side, it’s still good. The souvenirs and swag are also fantastic. We’d definitely do it again, but maybe in cooler weather next time!

Great experience. Family friendly and wonderful memories! We've been to NYC before but never planned ahead enough to do the statue. MUST PLAN AHEAD FOR THE CROWN TOUR!. We booked our tickets about 2 months in advance to make sure we had it done right. Well worth the money. Be prepared to climb 200-500 stairs. We didn't wait for the pedestal elevator and ended up doing all the stairs. The spiral staircase to the crown is a workout so drink water ahead of time (summer is hot under a giant copper lady's dress). Food is a bit pricey, but good. Great souvenirs and swag. Would do it again in cooler months for sure.

The Statue of Liberty is truly a timeless symbol of freedom, offering an awe-inspiring experience that goes beyond ordinary sightseeing. Approaching the monument by ferry, the sight of Lady Liberty towering majestically over the harbor is nothing short of breathtaking. The statue’s immense scale and intricate craftsmanship are remarkable, from the detailed folds of her robe to the iconic spikes of her crown. The pedestal, which houses a museum, adds depth to the visit, providing rich historical context. It offers insights into the statue's creation, its powerful symbolism, and its important role in welcoming millions of immigrants to the United States. Overall, it was a memorable experience that left a lasting impression.

Surrounded by the Atlantic, the Statue of Liberty is accessible from NY and NJ with ferries. Better to buy tickets way ahead of time and arrive early on the day, as there are security checkpoints to get through. On your way to the island and back, there’s stunning view of NYC downtown and financial district. The ferry ride in itself is an amusing experience. Once you reach the island, there’s the statue of course, there’s a museum, gift shop and a food court. In recent years due to construction the island didn’t have the best appearance, but still the statue standing tall, beaming the hope and dream of America, is so powerful. There are tickets available to get to the top of the pedestal. The gift shop has lots of and lots of Statue of Liberty souvenirs. Some are also NY NJ and USA based. The food court burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches are average, don’t expect much from them. Lots of birds fly around and try to take your food. There poops are all around the outdoor dining area. The only downside of this whole place.

Located in New York Harbor off the southern tip of Manhattan, Liberty Island is best known as the site of the Statue of Liberty, one of the most iconic symbols of freedom and democracy in the world. It can only be reached by Statue City Cruise after leaving Ellis Island yesterday. The colossal neoclassical, copper-clad sculpture was a gift from France to the United States as a token of goodwill for America's centennial of independence. The island is well kept and fairly small, but there is enough to see and do for at least a couple hours. We’ve been here numerous times, and this time my partner, his aunt and I didn’t arrange any special tickets to the pedestal or crown. The surroundings around Lady Liberty offered some amazing photos with views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Jersey City. The museum offered a deep dive into the statue’s significance and the incredible craftsmanship that went into its creation. The exhibits were engaging and educational, highlighting the statue’s role as a symbol of democracy. It offered a lot of 1:1 reproductions that one can touch and interact with that truly give you a feeling of the scale of the statue. The digital wall was fun to do by taking your photo and watching as it appeared on the giant digital wall called Being Liberty. The overall experience was inspiring and educational. A must-see for anyone visiting New York City, which we can recommend.
