What People Are Saying About Statue Of Liberty
Featured Review

Facts – Lady Liberty stands approximately 151 feet tall; her total weight is 450,000 pounds (225 tons). The inscription on her tablet reads "July 4, 1776," in Roman numerals, the date of America's Declaration of Independence from Britain. Visitors are no longer allowed to climb the 354 steps to the windowed crown, but viewing options include the Observatory tour's inside peek at her unique structure and guided walks through the museum. – – The Background – Work on the statue began in 1875, under the supervision of sculptor August Bartholdi and engineer Gustave Eiffel…
Editor's Tips
- Save Money:
- Monument Access Passes are available free-of-charge with your purchase of a ferry ticket. It is recommended that you arrive at Battery Park two hours before your scheduled time slot.
- The Extras:
- Your ferry trip will also include a stop at Ellis Island. Here, you can get the first-hand history of how America became the melting pot.
- Know Before You Go:
- Security is very tight. You will be screened like at the airport before boarding the ferry. If you plan to enter the monument, you will be screened again on Liberty Island.

So Not Worth It
by George Bryant at Citysearch
Yes, it’s a really, really impressive statue, but getting to the island and back will take a third of your day, and the payoff simply doesn’t justify that cost. You’ll spend an hour waiting in line for the ferry and another hour getting aboard, making the trip and getting off. When you finally get to the island you’ll be awestruck. Then 30 seconds will pass and you’ll be ready to go back. Actually, you’ll want to go inside the statue, but you won’t be able to because they sell like five tickets to go inside per year. Avoid.

Something creepy about her
by magicloop2009 at Citysearch
She stands in the middle of the new york harbor. She can be seen from ships boat rides and the new york area. her torch lights up at night. she symbolizes freedom, if you go close and look at her face, she kinda looks like a man. her head was the sculpteres mother and the body was the mysteress. This does lie a mystery. Something creepy about that stern look on her face.
- Pros: A gift from France, a peace of history
- Cons: she's scary looking
