ℳ𝒶𝓎♍September 29, 2016Lady Liberty, you have seen her in many pictures but, up close and personal is different and better. Get a ticket to climb right up to the Crown, 377 steps but, oh man does the view look spectacular!

Matthew FergusonNovember 20, 2016This place is awesome. Great up close views of the statue and and panorama views of Manhattan. Make sure to get tickets to the pedestal or crown in advance of your trip.

LufthansaMarch 21, 2014Did you know? In 1885, the dismantled Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor after being shipped across the Atlantic in 350 individual pieces packed in more than 200 cases!

James PantherApril 18, 2016A must see for anyone visiting New York City. Make sure you book early and get the crown access pass so you can climb to the top.
Augustus CollectionFebruary 23, 2014This colossal statue sits in the middle of the harbour. Originally gifted by the French, the Statue of Liberty is today a symbol of the strength of America and our open arms towards immigrants. Read more
- Ricardo Daniel LOAugust 28, 2017A must visit landmark. It's everyone's first visit to NYC must tour. And be sure to take an early tour so you can visit Ellis island as well. Great views
Ron PetroAugust 28, 2016Plan to spend most of your day if you want to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Ferries to these islands are packed in high season so waiting to get on or off the boat takes 1/2 hour each.
Dominik FJuly 3, 2015Definitely a must do in NYC! Book a tour with a ferry cruise to liberty island and ellis island!!! The whole tour takes time but it's very interesting with the audio guides!
Roopesh ChinnakampalliFebruary 16, 2019Bucket list! It’s just awesome. You can board the Ferry that particular day if you’ve missed the time slot which you booked for! Parking is FREE 👍🏻
Josh AntonioJune 12, 2016If you have a cityPass and you'd like to go up to the top, make sure you buy tickets online before hand as they don't sell tickets on the island.
VasilisApril 21, 2013you should definitely take the boat and have this one hour tour. see manhattan, Statue of Liberty, Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge. tip: pick the right side of the boat (starboard) for better view!
THE Z WORLD ZAHRANSeptember 3, 2016Take the Staten Island Ferry which is free. It leaves ever half an hour and you can visit Staten Island as well. The Free ferry is located to the left of Battery Gardens Restaurant.
- Nadhy ElsayedAugust 2, 2016A best description could be half Mayor of New York that phrase he said when described his decision to give a respite for the Muslim pupils during the prayer times is "smart and respectable" solution
Delene 하늘January 1, 2015Amazing! The Statue of Liberty definitely gives you this amaze feeling. Cruises captain & staffs are nice, too. Comfortable ride to the island. & from the island, you can see NYC skyline, too. Nice!
US National ArchivesJune 24, 2013Celebrate the Fourth of July with Lady Liberty herself! As you take the ferry over from Battery Park, take a peek at this photo from 1984 when she went through some restoration. Read more
AndrewGroveSanAntonio GroveDecember 31, 2018Awesome and awe inspiring. Go with guided tour through Expedia, much better experience. Only 4,000 per day allowed on island and 400 up to pedestal. Tons of stairs.
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014A fun few hours, though if you're short on time whilst in New York, you might be better not giving up half your day to climb this. Offers a break from the skyscrapers however.
Daniel Marco FernandezOctober 16, 2016If you are in NYC for longer than a week, go visit the statue. Otherwise it will take you plenty of time that you can spend doing loads of cool things in the city.
Raquel VasconcelosSeptember 12, 2014I did imagine her to be bigger, but it's worth it! Take the very first boat to Liberty Island to avoid big lines. That way you can be done with both islands before noon.
Kathleen OgnibeneMay 5, 2017Have small bills to rent a locker if you are going up to the crown. It was $2 today and secured by a finger scan. No bags allowed and the162 stairs up are narrow. It is worth the effort.
Esra PRGAugust 27, 2014Just great to meet miss liberty... I've seen her a lot in my childhood cartoons. I was on the boat form the New Jersey side, best choice ever. New York boats where overloaded!
The Corcoran GroupJuly 16, 2013Recently reopened to tourists after Hurricane Sandy, this is a quintessential stop for anyone visiting the NYC area. If you want to go up to Lady Liberty's crown, buy tickets in advance!
UsewordswiselyJuly 12, 2012It was a gift from France to the people of the US marking the centennial in 1886. A universal symbol of freedom and democracy, Lady Liberty sits on Liberty Island at the entrance of the Hudson River.
KarenOctober 9, 2022It is an absolutely must-do to reserve the pedestal entry. But, the best view is from P3, not all the way at the top at P5.
honey 🌾 boneySeptember 15, 2015Famous American symbol :) for many tourist Statue of Liberty is a 'must see' place I guess. I saw it from the boat that had cruised around Manhattan.
Byron GeddesJuly 12, 2016WOW - it's a must do! Be sure to get the audio set or a state park ranger to show you around and give info! Best looking girl in NYC
osorniosSeptember 8, 2019Take the Staten Island Ferry for a great view, and photo opportunities. It's free.
Ronny OemrawJuly 17, 2017The island gets jammed packed during the weekends. Nice park with plenty of benches and grass to sit relax take some pictures of the New York City skyline.
Phil BucklerJuly 26, 2015No need to get a boat onto the island, just get the Staten Island ferry past the statue. You still get a great view and great photos
Julie SosciaJanuary 29, 2019You will need to take a ferry to get here, but the incredible views are worth it! Visit Ellis Island as well and look out for the new Statue of Liberty Museum opening.
Don NguyenAugust 10, 2014Do the free Park Ranger tour, especially if you're not going up into the pedestal or crown. You'll learn lots of great trivia in a half an hour
Sandra MoralesDecember 29, 2019Please, please purchase your tickets ahead of time, speciallly if your on a time crunch. We had our tickets and if we wouldn't of.had them, there was a wait in line of 4 hours!!

The Statue of Liberty is more than a monument. She is a beloved friend, a living symbol of freedom to millions around the world.
Torzin SJune 11, 2015Don't underestimate the size of Lady Liberty, she is true giant. Booked early to see inside her, the original torch is a must see.
Carl GriffinDecember 25, 2015The best view of the city is from the crown. It's a strenuous climb in cramped conditions but worth all the effort.
Daniela RiquelmeDecember 9, 2016It's so nice. The view of Manhattan is awesome. The souvenirs store is good. Maybe isn't necesary go to Ellis Island. There are a musseum about inmigrants. If you dont want waste your time, only keep
Gordon MeiJuly 27, 2014If you want to visit the crown, you still have to make reservations weeks in advance. Order together with the Statue Cruises online, and you'll skip the queues at Battery Park too.
JP VdwallDecember 30, 2018Go as early as possible to beat the crowd and thank me when you get back and see the line... 08.30am boat it is!
K MApril 11, 2019If you’re interested in going up the statue make sure you buy the appropriate ticket, the grounds ticket won’t be enough to get you in.
Shar TDecember 1, 2013Be prepared to rent a locker to store purses etc. Only camera & water allowed. Will go through security again! Be prepared to hike up the tight & narrow spiral staircase. It's totally worth it!!!
Simmi Harsimrat ParmarMay 27, 2015It begins with a great ferry ride.. Amazing monument! Calls for a visit at least once. It made me more interested in American history.- US National ArchivesJune 17, 2013Come celebrate the Fourth of July at the Big Apple! Lady Liberty never looked better with all those fireworks exploding about her. Read more
King ReyesApril 21, 2015Noncrowded month to visit: mid april. Noncrowded time to visit: morning/before noon. Also they have tight security check here so wear something you can take off easily. 😁
Quentin LafonAugust 4, 2014You must visit this historical place when you are in NY ! Built by French. Don't miss to take a few postcards photos.
Tomas SOctober 17, 2017Unless you have tickets for the crown booked in advance you are fine by just taking the boat in and out to take the photo. Nothing much else to see on the island to be honest.- Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018Incredible views, but make sure to visit Ellis Island as well--you won't be disappointment. Also, look out for the new Statue of Liberty Museum opening.

Rima ReyesSeptember 1, 2014National Park Service & Statue Cruises was amazing! Was traveling with a senior citizen and they were able to accommodate early boarding and priority seating on the ferry.
