Statue of Liberty

On our last day in New York, my wife and I decided to take a boat trip around the Statue of Liberty. While we didn't actually explore Liberty Island itself, the boat ride offered a different but equally memorable experience. The boat ride was smooth and enjoyable, providing stunning views of the Statue of Liberty from various angles. It was a perfect day with clear skies and a gentle breeze, making the trip even more pleasant. Seeing the iconic statue up close from the water was truly awe-inspiring and gave us a sense of its grandeur and significance. The tour provided informative commentary about the history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Even though we didn’t disembark on the island, we gained a deeper appreciation for the statue and its place in American history through the insightful narration. The views of the New York skyline from the boat were also spectacular. We had ample opportunities to take photos and simply enjoy the beauty of the city from the water. Overall, the Statue of Liberty boat trip was a fantastic way to end our New York adventure. It offered a perfect blend of relaxation, education, and stunning scenery without the need to step off the boat. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and scenic way to see one of America's most iconic landmarks.

I'm not entirely sure how you could rate this less than 5 stars - Lady Liberty stands on her island and is a beautiful site to visit. There is a small museum on site that has a lot of 1:1 reproductions that you can touch and interact with that truly give you a feeling of the scale of the statue and they have clean restrooms. The statue itself is fantastic and I do recommend getting a Crown pass ahead of time to get a closer look - sadly, I did not have these passes so my views were all from the ground. Regardless, this was still a great experience and I'm thrilled I was able to be there!

How can you rate lady liberty poorly. Honestly besides the lines and the crowds it is wonderful and relatively cheap. We went into the crown which only requires a reservation ahead of time. The food on the island was good and not indulgent which was nice. A great experience and an amazing symbol to take in.

Life long dream accomplished. The statue is of course on an island, we arrived by boat. The island has a museum which is free of charge to enter, the statue's visit requires a ticket. The museum has a history of how the statue was built and how its message has been used across the years. From the island you can catch some amazing views of Manhattan's skyline

Visiting the Statue of Liberty was an incredible experience that exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived at Liberty Island, I was struck by the statue's grandeur and symbolic significance. The ferry ride offered stunning views of the New York City skyline, adding to the anticipation. Upon reaching the island, the welcoming atmosphere and well-organized facilities made the visit enjoyable and stress-free. The museum located in the pedestal provided a rich historical context, detailing the statue's construction, its gift from France, and its enduring symbolism of freedom and democracy. The exhibits were informative and engaging, offering insights that deepened my appreciation of this iconic monument. Climbing to the pedestal was a highlight, as it offered breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the harbor. Although I didn't make it to the crown (which requires advance reservations), the pedestal provided an excellent vantage point. Over all experience was great.
