User Reviews for Statue of Liberty National Monument

The Black Hills in the North, the Redwoods & the Golden Gate Bridge in the West , the Mississippi Delta in the South, the Archway in St. Louis, and the Statue of Liberty define the boundries of this great country. Shining as bright as the sun does off the cliffs of the Grand Canyon it is truely the World symbol for Freadom. Worth every breath it takes to walk the steps to the top and to enjoy the mueseum where many of our ancesters came through searching for a better life.
Pros: bueatiful folk work, museum of ancestors, night view
Cons: crowded, steep, damp

What else can you say about Lady Liberty? The symbol of the United States, over 100 years old still represents everything it did when immigrants were welcomed to their new country.
Pros: Symbol of USA

I first got a glimpse of Lady Liberty from the Staton Island Ferry. The $10 Ferry from Battery Park (which takes you right to Liberty Island) was of great value, as the overall impression of the Statue was much more powerful when you're standing right in front of it, looking up at it. A must see! Definitely worth the wait in line at Battery Park.

On my first visit to New York, I took the ferry at Battery Park to see the Statue of Liberty! It was wonderful and worth the $10!!!! The line moved very fast and the people were friendly, even the security guards that moved the long lines quickly! It was an enjoyable ride to see the skyline and the lady... I recommend everyone to experience Battery Park as well; just be aware of the fellas with the briefcases....lol

Climbing up in the Statue of Liberty is a lot of fun -- and claustrophobic. But, for me, the highlight was roaming around Ellis Island and setting foot on the very ground on which many of our ancestors entered the country years ago. The exhibits and photos are powerful -- and a reminder of how far we've come as a country.
Pros: Ellis Island
Cons: Summer crowds

Everyone should visit the Statue of Liberty at least once in there lifetime. It helps you gain perspective and appreciate what this country offers.

Many tourists may not realize it but The Statue of Liberty National Park is more than that giant copper woman holding a torch. It also incorporates Ellis Island, home of an excellent museum documenting the immigration experience--primarily from the early 20th century. Tours leaving from Battery Park usually incorporate either the statue and the museum or simply the latter. While extensive restoration efforts were made in honor of Lady Liberty's 100th birthday in 1986, I'm sad to report you still can't go up the arm. As it is, though, climbing up to the crown is no easy task. (Use the two hours spent waiting in line beforehand as a time to stretch your legs!) Looking out on the New York harbor from the elevated perspective, a new reading of Emma Lazarus' poem "New Colussus" will come to mind: "Give me your tired..." Indeed. It's worth it, though.
