I love The Statue of Liberty. Firstly take the public ferry to Staten Island. It's free. The island is shut till the 4TH July so why pay. The cruises will cost you $20 plus. I got some terrific photos of Liberty . When u get on the ferry stay on the right hand side of the boat take a window...

Owner description:
Please note: the Statue of Liberty will reopen to the public on July 4, 2013. Liberty Island is currently closed due to damage from Hurricane Sandy. The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States and is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886, designated as a National Monument in 1924 and restored for her centennial on July 4, 1986. (The statue and island are both temporarily closed due to damage from Hurricane Sandy.)

They always make her look so much bigger on TV... the reality is, she is a very big statue on an almost as big pedestal, but not this enormous signature of freedom that you'd expect (thanks a lot Hollywood)... truth is, you ride a ferry to a small island that has NOTHING on it except the statue. I had planned...

I just love the statue of Liberty. The first time I saw her, she stole my heart. I must say her face does look a bit like that of a man. Maybe the sculptor wanted to reflect her strength as she stands everyday in all kinds of weather in the NYC harbor. This statue will always remain one of my...

At the time of our visit you could not go onto the Statue of Liberty as Super Storm Sandy washed away the dock and flooded the island so repairs are under way. We were told that it is supposed to open July 4 2013. The Statue is impressive and certainly a great symbol for ships coming into New York harbor.

Being a NYer, it's easy to never do any of the touristy things because you're so busy in the everyday hustle & bustle. So, when our friends come in from out of town, we actually get to see the tourist attractions. The Statue of Liberty is great, but I actually liked visiting Ellis Island more. It's worth it to come...

Unfortunately you can't visit the statue of liberty island at the moment ( re-opens 4th July 2013) because of the damage caused to the landing piers by hurricane Sandy. You can take a boat trip that will take you close to the island and Ellis island which is next to it ( also closed for repairs). I would suggest taking...

I just had to stand and stare at the Statue of Liberty! It is so impressive and beautiful! Was very disappointed that it was closed so could not visit it up close, however there are many places along the harbours where you can see it. We also went on the Staten Island Ferry and a Greyline Cruise to get up...

The Ferry takes you close and you imagine it may topple over as everyone clambers to the side to take a photo . What a iconic image . Currently closed due to hurricane sandy repair work happening but being so close to history is amazing . Really makes your trip special

We enjoyed the ferry ride as much as the visit to Liberty Island. It was busy but extraordinary. Every square inch of that island breathes history and resonates diversity. Visitors from all over the world speak every dialect all around you. Historical plaques all over the island summarize the history of the island and the statue. The gift shops have...
