Statue of Liberty Lookout

I recommend making a reservation in advance so you can visit the Pedestal Access or, if possible, the Crown. There are many different cruises, but it seems that you must purchase the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Ferry ticket in order to actually get off on the islands. I highly recommend going onto the island. There is a restaurant there and plenty of space to walk around.

The Statue of Liberty is an iconic landmark and a must-see in New York City. Visiting the island and seeing the statue up close is an unforgettable experience. The views of the skyline from the ferry are amazing, and the history behind the monument makes it even more meaningful. A true symbol of freedom and a highlight.

The Statue of Liberty lookout offers breathtaking views! Whether you're at the pedestal or crown level, the experience is totally worth it. Looking out over the New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline is unforgettable. The climb is a bit narrow and steep (especially to the crown), but manageable if you're reasonably fit. Advance tickets are a must — they sell out fast, so plan ahead. Everything was well organized, and the weather on the day we visited made it even more special. Great photo opportunities and a deep sense of history — don’t miss it!

Really enjoyed it, but be prepared to be there for a few hours. Next time we are going to try and go in the early morning or evening. Do not buy tickets from the people who are "selling" them on the street, those are scammed. Get them from the designated place. It was absolutely gorgeous, so glad I got to experience going.

If you want to visit the Statue of Liberty, this is my recommendation: Once you arrive at The Battery Park New York. On your Google maps, search for this location: *Statue City Cruises Battery Park* This is the official site to buy your tickets and visit the Statue of Liberty. ***Be careful and don't fall for illegal ticket scams.*** I say this because when you arrive at The Battery Park you will find many people dressed in red vests, purple shirts, etc. who pretend to be "official sellers" but they are NOT. They will try everything to convince you to buy from them, but DON'T DO IT. Just walk to the place I told you about and there you will find the official tickets for $25.50 US. Once you have purchased the tickets, you have to walk about 5 minutes to where you will board the ferry. To be honest, it's a unique experience. You can get off on the island and see the museum that shows how the statue was built, and buy souvenirs that you won't find anywhere else.

She's Smaller than you imagine 🗽. This iconic statue has a rediculous history, still looking gorgeous after all these years, In her day towered proudly in the entrance to New York. The whole island is so well prepared for visitors and the Audio guides work perfectly. It's really hard every you need visiting centres, tons of history, so much info it's definitely boring. It's iconic, so a must to see and the boat cruise there is pretty cool to . Don't forget your 25 cent coin for the locker, otherwise your stuck and won't be able to go up the statue 🗽

Beautiful view. Lots of steps. If you want to go to the top. It's extra price and tickets must be purchased in advance. Months of a waiting list too.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The architecture is fantastic. I also visited the museum, which was an impressive experience. Traveling by ferry added a unique touch to the trip. However, be cautious of scammers. If you have booked a city pass, just scan the QR code to enter—do not pay anyone standing by the roadside or at the entrance.
