The process to get over to Liberty Island was fairly quick & painless, even though the lines looked liked it would be an all day affair! The statue was under construction, but we still got great pics! The cruise over was great! More

We took the ferry across to Liberty & Ellis Islands as part of our recent trip to NYC. Very reasonably priced ($13 each) we were able to get fantastic photos from the upper deck and then hopped off at both islands in order to wander round and read all about both. More

This is the most iconic tourist attraction, recognisable to anyone in the world. The old lady does not dissapoint when you meet her in person. You cannot visit New York without seeing this landmark. More

Seeing Lady Liberty up close was amazing. The audio tour added so much to our day. We did have a little difficulty getting to Battery Park from the subway station because we didn't see any signs.

Statue of liberty was closed for refurbishment when we went so went on a boat trip on the Hudson river that took you right up to the statue. I must admit I expected it to be bigger! Worth a visit just for the photos More
