Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, and it is a must-see for any visitor to New York City. The ferry ride to Liberty Island is a great way to see the statue up close, and the views from the crown are simply breathtaking. I was particularly impressed by the museum on Liberty Island, which tells the story of the statue and its construction. It was fascinating to learn about the history of this iconic symbol of freedom. If you are visiting New York City, I highly recommend taking a ferry to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty. It is an experience that you will never forget. Tips for visitors: Purchase your ferry tickets in advance, especially if you are visiting during peak season. Arrive at the ferry terminal early to avoid long lines. Wear comfortable shoes, as you will be doing a lot of walking. Bring sunscreen and a hat, as there is not much shade on Liberty Island. If you are visiting the crown, be prepared for a narrow, spiral staircase. THINGS TO REMEMBER: 1) but ferry tickets in advance ( would recommend statue city cruise site) 2) if you wish to go up the crown then please book tickets few months in advance but if you wish to just make it to the pedestal then week or two in advance is sufficient 3) be ready to walk a lot

Visiting the Statue of Liberty was on my must-see bucket list. Glad I visited this one time (I even climbed all 539 steps from ground level up to the cramped crown.) TIP 1: Access to the Crown is limited to 300 visitors per day on a timed ticket. So reserve your ticket far in advance (I reserved 2 months out). TIP 2: Bring a quarter to use a storage locker for your bag, purse, backpack. (None allowed inside the Statue of Liberty). TIP 3: The Crown is very small, allowing only a handful of guests at a time, after climbing a steep, winding staircase. The views are not that impressive. Honestly, the views from the open-air Pedestal are MUCH better. Next time, I would just visit the Pedestal observation deck. // Liberty Island, upon which the Statue is located, is immaculate, nicely landscaped, and run by the U.S. National Park Service. Take a peek inside the museum on Liberty Island, it's worth a look!

Almost in everyone’s bucket list! We too were astounded by the statue.. We had taken a guided tour so it really enhanced the overall experience since the place has a lot of history.. Unfortunately, we couldn’t go up since the bookings were full for the entire year due to the recent opening up after Covid.. That was a miss ☹️ Having said that you still can have a wonderful experience by just being there. The museum, theatre, viewing platform can keep you busy for hours. Recommended on your trip for East coast.

One well-known representation of liberty and democracy is the Statue of Liberty. It is a must-see monument because of its imposing appearance and extensive history. An amazing experience is created by the statue's exquisite design, which stands boldly in New York Harbor, and the stunning views from Liberty Island. The pedestal's educational displays give the visit more depth and make it both amazing and educational. This national treasure is well-deserving of its five-star rating.

It was a wonderful experience. The monument which I wanted to visit eagerly for a long long time. The boat ride was booked months in advance. There are lots of boats operating but the official one which really lands the island has to be selected. We could get tickets for boat as well as entry upto the base of statue also. But tickets for entry to top of statue crown was to be booked at least three months in advance. You have to reach the boat landing at least 20 prior to given time since security check similar to airports are there. The ride takes around 15 minutes. Then you can spend time in the island as per your convenience and return by any boat. There is an elevator upto P5 that’s the base of the statue or you can climb around 200 steps. From there to the crown only steps are available. The view from top is fantastic. In the island there are some food courts, shops selling replicas, key chains, magnets etc. In the boats also snacks and beverages are available. It’s better to book tickets in advance since most of tickets are sold out in advance. The climate factor is to be taken into account. In winter there’s cool breeze in the island and the boat.
