Statue of Liberty

The goddess wears a crown with seven spikes symbolizing the seven continents. She is draped in an ancient Greek-style robe. In her left hand, she clutches the U.S. Declaration of Independence, inscribed with July 4, 1776. In her right hand, she holds aloft the torch, symbolizing freedom, and gazes serenely ahead. Her lips are tightly pursed, her expression solemn. Bartholdi sculpted the Statue of Liberty like a giant puzzle. He collected over 300 thin sheets of bronze from the Karmoy copper mine in Norway, reshaped and processed them, and shipped them to the United States. Each sheet is only 2/32 of an inch thick, about the thickness of a two-penny coin. Once on Liberty Island, they were assembled onto a steel frame designed by Gustave Eiffel to create the goddess's garments and appearance.

The first stop in New York is, of course, the legendary Statue of Liberty. In the past, immigrants arriving in the United States saw the Statue of Liberty first. The Statue of Liberty is accessible only by boat, and the boat ticket includes a view of the nearby Immigration Island. Looking back, the Manhattan skyline recedes into the distance. As the boat nears the island, everyone whips out their phones to take photos. The Statue of Liberty isn't as tall as imagined, but it's this culture of inclusiveness among immigrants that has led to America's future diversity and prosperity. We ate a burger bigger than our face on the island, and the lawn of the Immigration Island was filled with plump, white seagulls.

I imagine a scene from a black-and-white movie: a ship of Irish people took a ferry across the Atlantic. After several days of bumpy ride, they arrived in New York and saw the Statue of Liberty and shouted on the deck: "America!" That moment must have been the beginning of the American dream for everyone because of that scene. The old brown photos of that time have long disappeared, replaced by the urban color version of Manhattan. To get to the Statue of Liberty, you must take a ferry. The pier is just south of Wall Street. All first-time tourists to New York would go to see the Statue of Liberty regardless of weather conditions if they had to choose only one place to check in. Of course, we were no exception and went there twice. At noon, the harbor ushered in the most beautiful weather of the day in New York. We also took a group photo at the harbor. The next day, we rushed to the pier without even leaving time for lunch. However, the enthusiasm of tourists from all over the world for the Statue of Liberty remains unabated. Even in the morning, there was already a long line. At that time, the Statue of Liberty was perfectly integrated with the plane in the upper left corner, which reminded me of the movie poster for Flight 93. It is recommended to reserve half a day when visiting the island. In addition to visiting the Statue of Liberty, you can also gain a lot by walking around the island. From the island, you can see the entire Manhattan skyline and take pictures of the city sunset at sunset. New York is just like London. Once the weather is good, there is no bottom line for its beauty. The sea surface with waves in the harbor is shining with tiny stars from the depths of the sea. The seagulls on the harbor are cute and curious, standing in a row and watching the passers-by. At this moment, the hurried New York makes it impossible for me to stay here for long.

There are many ways to see the Statue of Liberty, but we opted for a cruise to Ellis Island. The Statue Cruises to Ellis Island, which only allows access to the island but not the museum, cost $18.50. Tickets can be purchased online or on-site. Remember to buy your ticket at the ticket office. Don't trust passersby with work IDs who claim you'll have to wait in line for at least three hours for security and have priority access. When we bought our tickets on-site, we found they weren't crowded at all. It's said that if you book a few months in advance, you can even climb the Statue's crown.

To see the Statue of Liberty, you need to take a ferry. You can choose to depart from New York or New Jersey. The level you arrive at is different and the ticket price is also different.

The most common ferry ticket from New York to the base of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island is $18.50 for adults, $9 for children 4-12, and $14 for seniors 62 and older. Tickets to the pedestal are the same, but it's important to note that you must select the "Reserve with Pedestal" option when booking in advance. The final option, which allows access to the crown, is $21.50 for adults, $12 for children 4-12, and $17 for seniors 62 and older. I originally wanted to buy a ticket to the crown itself, but it was under maintenance, so I opted for the exterior ticket, just to make it a visit.

We chose to take a paid ferry to see the Statue of Liberty up close. Tickets are available for $18 for adults or $21 for the Reserve with Crown Ticket (a standard ticket includes access to Liberty Island and Ellis Island, the statue's pedestal, and an audio guide. The Reserve with Crown Ticket also includes access to the statue's crown). Opening hours: Open year-round, 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, except Christmas Day.

Impressions of the United States. New York is a symbol of the prosperity and power of the American Empire. The former world's largest port, Manhattan, and Wall Street all demonstrate the immense power and wealth of this "planetary pole." However, I was also deeply impressed by the disparity between the rich and the poor and the "cold shoulder" phenomenon in New York. If you're used to the egalitarian and harmonious society of Europe, living here might be a bit uncomfortable.

This was a "wish" I wrote about in my middle school essays, and I never thought it would come true when I grew up! From the boat, I saw the Statue of Liberty: a bronze statue, holding a golden torch, with a solemn yet gentle gaze. I couldn't believe it was right in front of me! It's so exciting to think about how those immigrants who entered the country back then were about to set foot on this land of freedom! Our ticket included the pedestal, but the crown wasn't available on site; you had to reserve it in advance!

From here, you can enjoy the best views of the New York City skyline and ocean. The CityPass includes admission to the Statue of Liberty and the Immigration Museum at Ellis Island. However, the CityPass doesn't include access to the Statue of Liberty's pedestal, and since we weren't planning on going up, we didn't purchase it separately. The view from the pedestal felt similar to not going up at all, as it would only be a distant view of Lower Manhattan. Plus, it was quite far from Manhattan, so we gave up.

.

Boat tickets to the Statue of Liberty can be booked on the official website. The ticket price to the island is the same as the ticket price to the pedestal, but tickets to the pedestal need to be booked in advance, and tickets to the crown need to be booked several months in advance. Be sure to choose the boat that departs from New York (Battery Park) rather than the boat to New Jersey. When boarding the boat, also remember to keep to the right to board the boat back to New York.

The Statue of Liberty is a must-see landmark in New York City. Its iconic image, with the torch held high in her right hand and the Declaration of Independence in her left, is visually striking, especially in the fading light of sunset. For cruises to the island, it's recommended to book a crown ticket three months in advance to experience the intricate carvings and historical significance of the statue's face up close. The museum on the pedestal houses the original torch and construction manuscripts, fully showcasing the friendship between the US and France behind this gift from France. As a symbol of the immigrant spirit, the broken chain at her feet and the seven-pointed star on her crown vividly embody the values of freedom and tolerance.

I visited the Statue of Liberty just before Independence Day, so the island was packed with TV crews and presenters, including those from renowned media outlets like CBS. A boat tour offered a panoramic view of the New York skyline from the water. The boat docked at the island, and once we disembarked, we realized it wasn't very large, with tours centered around half a circle. Getting to and from Ellis Island requires a ferry, which usually involves waiting in line.

You can't miss it when you visit New York. Tickets are generally booked online, with three options: a circumnavigation (50 yuan), an island landing (135 yuan), and an island landing and pedestal tour (142 yuan).

If you want to take a photo with the goddess up close, I suggest you choose the second option, because the island tour can only show her whole body around her, and the photos taken will be behind her with tourists on the boat 👬👫👭

There is a free guided tour (in Chinese) after landing on the island. I didn't go into the base when I went there, so I don't know what it's like inside. I heard that climbing the goddess's crown requires at least six months in advance.

💎If you just want to take a clear picture of the Statue of Liberty, a tour around the island is enough. You should even avoid this tour method (see the huge crowds in the picture? The queue at the dock is at least an hour, and the security check is also very slow). You can take the $3 round-trip ferry to Governors Island. It's a little far away, but you can use a Huawei P30pro (is this considered product placement? 🤪) or a camera to take pictures. It saves money and avoids queuing, and you can still take beautiful photos (but the Statue of Liberty is a little far away if you are in the same frame with her). For more details, please refer to my notes specifically written about Governors Island.

Standing beneath the Statue of Liberty, gazing into the distance, cruise ships glided between towering buildings, the entire Manhattan skyline in full view. The tranquility of the New York River was shattered by the passing of seagulls, making the scene even more vivid and lifelike! My daughter and I simultaneously threw away our backpacks and began photographing from various poses and angles. As we were scouting the crowd for a photo, a gentleman approached and asked if we needed help. Touched by the friendliness and helpfulness of the American people, I slowly began to fall in love with this land. As I gazed up at the goddess beneath the clouds, the sky became even more peaceful and beautiful!

The first thing we did when we arrived in New York was to see the city's landmark, the Statue of Liberty. Early in the morning, our guide led us to Pier 15, a destination specifically for Asian tourists, and we boarded the SS Hallblower for an hour-long cruise. New York's skyscrapers, its ancient buildings, and Manhattan passed by, but our eyes were drawn to the Statue of Liberty. As we vaguely caught sight of it from afar, people flocked to the side of the boat, vying to see it. Our guide had said it was a symbol of America, a symbol of freedom, but in my eyes, it was just a New York landmark, far from being a symbol of freedom, let alone a symbol of the American people's freedom.

The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of the United States and a must-see. I originally planned to spend half a day there, but ended up spending the entire day. Going to the island is a must, and learning about the history of American immigration on nearby Ellis Island was quite astonishing.

We opted for a boat tour (without visiting the island). The two-story boat had a semi-enclosed first floor (with windows that opened and access to the bow and stern), and a bar where you could buy drinks. The second floor was open, with two rows of back-to-back seats in the middle and small round tables and high stools along the railings. It was windy and sunny on the second floor, but perfect for taking photos. The tour lasted about an hour, taking you from the pier to the Statue, then the Brooklyn Bridge (I think), and finally the pier.

Located near the mouth of the Hudson River on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, it was built by France in 1876 to commemorate the centennial of the victory of the American Revolutionary War.

A must-see in New York!! But I always thought it was very similar to Hankou River Beach!! Both are great~haha

Very unique, with a strong sense of history, and the souvenirs are cute too haha

Take the ferry from Battery Park to Liberty Island and Ellis Island

I bought the tickets online in advance and the experience was great!

As the world's largest city, New York's subway system is one of the most developed urban rail transit systems in the world, making travel very convenient.

The first option is a free ferry ride to see the Statue of Liberty. The ferry departs every 30 minutes and takes 20-25 minutes. It runs round-trip from Staten Island to Manhattan Island. Navigate to Staten Island Ferry.

The second option is to visit Liberty Island (landing only). Tickets must be purchased at Battery Park between 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Remember to purchase the island-only ticket. This only allows you to visit Liberty Island, circle the Statue, and see the Manhattan skyline across the way. It takes about an hour to circle the island. (US$18.50 per person)

The third option is to visit Liberty Island (Island + Pedestal). This ticket includes a visit to the island and a tour of the interior of the Statue's pedestal, where you can see the structure and admire the panoramic views. Inside the pedestal, there's a museum dedicated to the culture and history of the Statue of Liberty. This ticket includes a free audio guide. It's best to book online in advance; if you buy on-site, you'll likely only get the island entrance ticket. (US$18.50 per person) The tour lasts 3-4 hours. This ticket also includes a visit to Ellis Island and the Immigration Museum on the island.

There's actually another ticket that, in addition to landing on the island and the pedestal, also allows you to reach the crown of the goddess and gaze down from the vantage point. However, this ticket needs to be booked online in advance, usually 3-4 months in advance during peak season. We didn't book in advance enough to get a reservation. (US$21.5 per person)

Entering the pedestal, a reminder: you'll need to go through security and check your belongings once you're there. Don't check your ticket, as it'll be checked inside. Once inside, you'll also need to change your audio guide. The picture shows the old torch, which was removed during the overhaul.

The statue is hollow, entirely sheathed in thin copper sheets. But how could a hollow statue withstand the strong sea breeze? The renowned engineer Gustave Eiffel (designer of the Eiffel Tower) solved this problem by building an iron skeleton inside the statue for support.

You can take the elevator to the top observation deck of the statue. Looking up, you can see the crown. We didn't get a ticket and couldn't go up. The top can only accommodate one person and you have to climb up by yourself.

There are so many people, haha. There are explanations in both Chinese and English. Just watch from a distance. There is not much point in going to the island.

I never expected such a setback on the first day. From waiting in line to getting my ticket to going through security and boarding the ship, it took a full four hours, and there were no seats available the entire time. I was so impressed with myself that I walked around the Statue of Liberty, browsed the surrounding shops, and looked at Manhattan from across the sea. The view was quite nice.

It's a must-see place in New York. I bought a CITY PASS and took a boat from BATERRY Park. It was super cold and windy. After visiting this place, I went to Ellis Island to see the immigration relics. It was also nice and you can learn about the immigration history of the United States.

New York City is definitely ranked first among tourist attractions. Freedom is the foundation of American society and the pursuit of all people. The Statue of Liberty represents all of this. Although it is not as beautiful as an island, it has a unique experience when you take a boat to the island.

During my trip to New York, I'd been craving the Statue of Liberty. I took advantage of a friend's drive to Jersey City and found a good angle to see her from behind. Illuminated at night, the Statue of Liberty exuded a mysterious majesty. Appreciating the crown requires reservations at least three months in advance. Battery Park also offers a ride on the Staten Island Free Ferry, offering a far-reaching view of the Statue of Liberty. It's a much better experience than seeing it from the island, and it's free.

Like me, I ran to Jersey City and looked at the goddess's beautiful back from afar. Those who have cars can choose this method of viewing from a distance.

It is a New York landmark and an American landmark, so it is worth seeing.

A must-see attraction in New York. After 9/11, entry is not allowed and you can only view it from a distance.

Arriving at the Statue of Liberty Island, there is a free audio guide at the entrance. You can ask for a Chinese version. There are more than a dozen explanations as you walk around the island. The Statue of Liberty is beautiful from different angles, with the blue sky as the background.

When I was a child, my impression of the Statue of Liberty came from Lai Shixiong's American English. The cover of the book had the Statue of Liberty printed on it. Now that I see this sculpture with my own eyes, the memories that come to my mind are the melancholy feeling of not being able to recite English texts as a child, haha.

The goddess's original color was copper-plated gold, but after weathering the storm, it turned into its current green color. It turns out there's an Eiffel Tower inside the goddess's belly to prevent her from being blown away by strong winds...

Listen to the explanation while you go to see the Statue of Liberty. You will be amazed by the unique structure. Chinese is available.

I bought a 7-day pass, which does not include the pedestal (museum) and crown of the Statue of Liberty. The audio guides on both islands are free and can be collected directly.

After each person received a Chinese guide, they started to walk around the island, passed security and entered the base of the Statue of Liberty, and took the elevator to the foot of the Statue of Liberty. In fact, there was nothing much inside, it was just a little higher.

🇺🇸🗽



It is recommended to choose the island

So you can see the close view

There is a small house at the gate where you can pick up a Chinese audio guide, which can be returned at the exit. If you have not made a reservation to enter the base or head of the goddess, you can just walk around the goddess.

Take a tourist photo, just visit here, that's all.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States in 1876, commemorating the 100th anniversary of its independence. While not a historical monument, it's merely a man-made work of art. This hasn't stopped the American people, and indeed people around the world, from admiring it. The statue, holding a torch high in the air and gazing forward with a solemn expression and graceful posture, attracts thousands of visitors from around the world each year.

The Statue of Liberty looks really big and handsome from a distance. Personally, I think it’s enough to just go to the island to take pictures, there is no need to climb up to the statue.

To get to the Statue of Liberty, you need to take a boat to the harbor and land at the southernmost part of Manhattan Island. After landing, you can walk to Wall Street and take a photo with the famous bronze bull.

It's not interesting, it's not as dirty as the streets in Beijing.

No matter what, it’s exciting to see the Statue of Liberty in person for the first time!

From a distance you can see the dense crowds of people~

In fact, the island is very small, and it feels like you can walk around it in more than 10 minutes without taking pictures.

There are many tourists here, so if you want to take clean photos, you still have to find a good angle.

The Statue of Liberty is a major landmark building in New York and even in the United States. Considering the time and physical strength, I did not go to the island at that time. I just took a sightseeing boat, passed by the Statue of Liberty, took a look at it, and then returned to the city.

Regarding how to see the Statue of Liberty by boat, there are two options: 1. You can purchase a ticket for a sightseeing boat trip to the Statue of Liberty, which also includes a visit to the island. 2. You can take the shuttle boat to Staten Island and see it from afar. I chose the second option because I had read other travel guides and thought the photos were pretty good. I thought a distant view would be enough, so I chose the free option.

Option 2: First, take the subway to the Staten Island Ferry Whitehall Terminal. You'll see the Staten Island Ferry sign at the subway entrance. Follow the sign and go up the stairs. The ferry entrance is quite large. Enter the lobby and line up where you see the most people. No ticket required; you can board the ferry directly! Also, be sure to board the ferry on the right side of the ferry; it's only visible on the right.

Ticket price: Includes boat tickets to both islands, entry to the Immigration Museum, tickets to the Statue of Liberty (prices vary depending on where you climb), and a self-guided audio guide (available in Chinese).

(1) New York Reserve with Pedestal Arriving at the Statue of Liberty Base

Adults (13-61): $18.50; Children (4-12): $9.00; Seniors (62 and older): $14.

(2) New York Reserve with Crown Access finally arrived at the Goddess Crown

Adults (13-61): $21.50; Children (4-12): $12.00; Seniors (62 and older): $17;

Things to note when purchasing tickets to the Statue of Liberty Crown online: (1) A maximum of 4 tickets can be purchased with one bank card, and the bank card must be presented when arriving at the boarding and ticket exchange hall; (2) The official website clearly indicates that climbing to the crown requires climbing a narrow spiral staircase. From the foot of the statue, you need to climb 163 steps to the top of the head. There is no elevator here; (3) Visitors must be at least 1.2 meters tall. The names of all visitors to the top must be printed on the paper ticket, and identification documents must be presented at the time of ticket inspection; Special reminder: Because the number of people climbing the Statue of Liberty Crown is controlled every day, reservations must be made in advance, so buying tickets online in advance is the best option;

You will need to go through security upon boarding the ship. Upon arrival at Liberty Island, there are two Western-style restaurants on the right (basically serving burgers, fries, wraps, pasta, coffee, drinks, etc.) and a gift shop. Outside the restaurants is a seating area, and the free restroom is inside the gift shop. About 50 meters further, you can pick up a free audio guide in the small cabin on the right with your ticket.

The Statue of Liberty ticket gate has strict security checks. Small carry-on bags are allowed inside, and other packages can be left in self-service bag drop boxes for $2 cash per box. Ticket prices vary depending on the queue, and staff will check tickets in advance. The ticket gate is inside a gift shop under the Statue.

Welcome to the Nanri Island travel consultation platform 18505943139

The security check is very strict, not as high as imagined, and not quite the same as shown in TV dramas. I guess the Americans also want to highlight his status.

A must-see attraction. We took a boat tour with about 30 people. The boat tour lasted about an hour, and then we went to see the Statue of Liberty. We didn't take a group photo, but it was really nice.

This iconic building, so iconic on TV, was surprisingly close to me, yet I felt it was actually a bit fatter than I'd imagined. We climbed onto the Statue of Liberty's island and started snapping photos around her. Gazing up at her divine presence from below, it felt like we were yearning for the freedom of wealth. It was so crowded that finding a gap to take a photo was difficult. From the Statue of Liberty's island, we had a sweeping view of Manhattan across the way.

I thought, growing up, the Statue of Liberty, which I'd seen countless times in newspapers and books, was probably just like that in real life. I doubt it would be that crowded, so it wouldn't be that interesting. In fact, traveling in the US is much more relaxing than in China. It's just like what many people imagine, standing majestically, facing Manhattan Island and the American Empire. You can walk around it, and when you get tired, there's a nearby food stall. You can sit on the grass, chat, enjoy the breeze, and gaze at the skyscrapers in the distance, with some lazy music playing in your headphones. There are no crowds or noise; everything is so peaceful and beautiful.

The Statue of Liberty is a must-see attraction in New York. If you have time, you must go to the island to learn a lot about Western history. Recommendation: 90%

The Statue of Liberty is not only a symbol of New York, but also a symbol of the United States in a sense.

It is located on a separate island and requires a boat ride from the pier to reach it. On the way to the pier, you will pass by Wall Street, so you can also visit it. This saves time to a certain extent.

I didn’t know about the goddess standing on tiptoe before I went there. Now I see it.

While on a cruise, you can also visit Ellie Island to learn about the history of early American immigrants!

The rain was too heavy and the viewing effect on that day was really average.

The Statue of Liberty, nestled at the mouth of the Hudson River, is a must-see on any New York City tour. There are many ways to visit it, depending on your needs. We opted for the island tour. As the boat slowly approached the river mouth, the "Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World," a figure I'd seen countless times in pictures and films, slowly emerged.

This was my second time to see the Statue of Liberty. After my first visit, I accidentally watched The Legend of 1900 again. I saw more than a thousand people on the ship waving collectively when they saw the Statue of Liberty. They were very excited. Only then did I understand why the Statue of Liberty is so important to Americans.

When you go to see the Statue of Liberty on a boat, you can see the skyscrapers of Manhattan.

The Statue of Liberty is very close to Wall Street. There are two ways to get to the Statue of Liberty:

1. Buy a ticket for the Statue of Liberty cruise, which allows you to see the Manhattan Peninsula and the Statue of Liberty, and you can also go to the island

2. Take the free ferry to Staten Island that runs every half hour. You will pass by the Statue of Liberty on the way and you can take pictures of the whole view from a distance.

We took the free boat to Staten Island. The boat took 1 hour to go back and forth. On the way, we could clearly see the panoramic view of the goddess.

If you want to take a boat tour to see the Statue of Liberty, you should choose the morning, as the first boat is the best for taking photos.

Due to time constraints, we didn't have time to book a trip to the island, so we took the free ferry between New York and Staten Island. We also got to see the New York skyline from the boat. On the way there, we were close to the Statue of Liberty, and on the way back, we could see the Brooklyn Bridge from the other side. Remember to go to the top floor; we didn't realize it was open-top at first, so we missed the perfect photo spot.

It is Gotham City, where Gothic chivalrous stories are staged in the "Batman" series, or the magnificent Metropolis in the "Superman" series, the undercurrent of sin city in "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Jigsaw Puzzle", and the "clover field" constantly ravaged by monsters and natural disasters in "Cloverfield", "The Day After Tomorrow", "Godzilla" and "King Kong". But when I was there in person, I was deeply attracted by its extraordinary charm: the bustling and crowded appearance is indeed the atmosphere of a world capital, and only the crowds in the imperial capital can be compared with it; the people in the streets and alleys are dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, which is better than Washington and Philadelphia. It is worthy of being one of the three major fashion capitals in the world (the other two are Paris, France and Milan, Italy); there are also countless world-famous attractions such as the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Wall Street Bull, and the Empire State Building. It is a city destined to be remembered forever. (The last picture is an aerial shot of one side of Liberty Island. The compact Dobby drone successfully evaded two security checks, but it nearly crashed due to poor stability after the system upgrade. So, I only managed to take one usable photo, which is much better than a crash.)

The first day's tourist attraction was a boat trip to see the iconic buildings and learn about history and culture. The weather was really beautiful. I went there in mid-October and the queue for tickets was long.

It was easy to park when driving to the pier. We took a boat from New Jersey to Immigration Island and then to the Statue of Liberty. There weren't many tourists.

One of the must-see attractions in New York. You need to buy a ticket and take a boat to get there. There is a museum in the base of the statue that introduces the process of making and transporting the statue. It is worth visiting.

This is a must-do in the US. Due to time constraints, I skipped the boat tour and opted for the free ferry. The free ferry runs between Staten Island and Manhattan every half hour. From Manhattan to Staten Island, the second-floor outdoor seats on the right side of the ferry and the second-floor outdoor seats at the stern offer great photo vantage points. I personally prefer the stern. While the view is far-reaching, you can still see and hear clearly.

Not only the Statue of Liberty,



There is also a skyline on the boat and on the island.

What's a trip to New York without seeing the Statue of Liberty? Located near the mouth of the Hudson River in New York City, New York, USA, the statue is located on Liberty Island. You can visit the island or take a cruise around it. The most economical way to see it is by taking the free ferry.

The number of people is limited to visit in batches. I can finally experience the scenes in many movies.

The Statue of Liberty National Monument, or "Liberty Enlightening the World," stands at the mouth of the Hudson River on Liberty Island in New York City, and is considered a symbol of the United States. The ticket we purchased doesn't include entry to the Statue of Liberty. Crown tickets are also available. If you want to enter, you must purchase tickets in advance or visit *** This is an officially licensed company with three ticket options*** Only: Access to Liberty Island only.

2: Reserve with Monument Access: Climb the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. You cannot climb onto the top of the Statue of Liberty.

3. Reserve with Crown Ticket: Includes Monument Access, including access to the pedestal and crown of the Statue of Liberty

You can see it from a distance by boat. If you don't go to the island, there is nothing to see. It is not easy to take a panoramic view on the island. Anyway, it feels average. It is very expensive to take a half-hour boat ride.

Don't queue up in the wrong line when queuing to board the island. It took two hours longer.

We purchased tickets for the Statue of Liberty's crown climb in advance on December 30, 17th, from the official website. We received an email with the summit time and a reservation number. Just present this number and ID and we were in. The price was $21.50 per person. Perhaps it was the off-season, but we managed to book less than a month in advance. Awesome! We went through security checks several times, each time checking bags and jackets. It was very strict.

Finally, before reaching the summit, you can only bring your cell phone and camera. Everything else must be stored in a safe. There is a fee for storage, remember it costs $2 per box. The spiral staircase to the summit shown in the picture below can only accommodate one person. People over 185cm tall need to be careful with their heads to avoid bumping. People who are overweight may not be able to pass through this passage as they may get stuck.

Very shocking! It feels really good and is worth a visit!
