Statue of Liberty National Monument, New York City

Cannot actually go into the statute of liberty unless you've booked well in advance. If you just want some nice photos and a good view. Get a ferry ride that simply passes the place. Nice way to see it if you don't plan on stopping and taking the time to walk around

Truly majestic. Lady Liberty is beautiful. Book tickets much much in advance to visit the crown. You need to climb stairs to visit the crown. It's not wheelchair accessible. The pedestal however is. Also, the time mentioned in the ticket is the time you need to be at Liberty, not the boat.

Be aware that if you want to go inside and up into the statue, you need to book it months in advance. We went here as part of a bus trip and we're not aware of that, so we could only walk around outside. It is still great to see, and the views of the city are beautiful. Ferry ride is nice and also provides great views of the city, Statue, and Ellis Island. Very clean and well kept. Gets crazy busy on nice weekends, so go early!

Beautiful in person. Currently not much to do on the island other than eat or buy souvenirs if you didn't reserve a pedestal or crown entry far in advance (they are doing construction and have plans to add another building). Plan to spend more time on Ellis Island if you want more of a museum experience.

Pretty cool experience. My only complaint is that the entire island didn't have water cause of construction. Therefore, NO RESTROOMS in the entire island. We had to wait to board the ferry again to use the RR. Would've been nice if they gave heads up about this. I'd advise you wait the line for the elevator to get to the pedestal. Those stairs are no joke! Ps. Temporary cause of construction, don't know how long it'll be out of water. (May 3,2017)
