The most famous symbol of the "stronghold of democracy" in the United States, a monument that embodies the freedom and independence of the state. The statue was donated to America by the French and was originally a sign of friendship between the American and French peoples. The monument was recognized as a monument of world importance in 1984. From the observation deck of the statue, panoramic views of New York, the harbor, islands and suspension bridges open.

Ferry ride over was good and quick. The top gets full but you'll still get good views.

Iconic statue to see if you are in NYC, at least good to see once. My local connection here said that locals hardly ever go to see the statue because .. Read more »it's 99% tourists that are wanting to see it, which is understandable. The ferry ride is super fun and gives you great glimpses from all different sides. You'll definitely be able to see the torch and Lady Liberty up close. We booked a tour that allowed us to walk up in the statue and see the NYC skyline from her crown. If you are able to do that, it's a super cool experience. However, make sure you are not claustrophobic - it gets extremely tight up there and there are very tiny, spiraling stairs. It can get very tight if you're walking up to the very top.
I would highly recommend taking the ferry tour. However, if you're not dying to see it - if you want to just see it from a distance - it takes a lot of time to ride the ferry. Otherwise, still very cool to see if you're in NYC.

As for the Statue of Liberty, it was my first time seeing it in person so what I could say was a wow. It was absolutely amazing to see this monument. I also purchased the pedestal access so it was pretty cool to see the inside of the statue. They’re not doing the Crown Access due to Covid-19 concerns, but I hope it will be resumed soon.
There are a gift shop, a cafeteria and a museum on the island. I would say it takes around 2-3 hours to do everything here because you would want to take as many photos as possible.

The Statue of Liberty is a universal symbol of freedom; it is situated in a small island in the Upper Bay (also called Upper New York Bay).
The Statue of Liberty was devoted in October 1886 and designated as a National Monument in 1924. It was a joint effort between France and United States, intended to remember the friendship between the peoples of the two nations.
It represents a woman face holding a torch in her raised right hand and tablet in her left hand; it is a 93 meters high monument including the pedestal.

You can purchase tickets online and obviously they have different tour levels, purchasing online will save you a lot of time and purchasing the reserve ticket will also get you in the priority boarding queue. I purchased them right from my phone once I saw the line to purchase tickets.
The line waiting for an empty ferry is actually quite long on a daily basis, they do have more than one ferry transporting back and forth which makes the line move a little faster. There is only so much room on the ferry and on a hot day, the wait can be miserable in the sun so be sure to squeeze into the crowd when boarding the boat to ensure you're part of the cut off, having to wait for the next ferry.
The ferry ride is relaxing and on a hot day can help to cool you off. Looking at lady upon approach to the island liberty closeup is something quite spectacular and considering the difficulty they faced in getting the foundation of the statute initially built, its even more amazing closeup.
The tour will also take you to Ellis Island which is well worth the time and extremely informational. The old hospital on the island is also really cool to see and they do have a tour which would allow you to see parts of the old hospital which I at some point will have to do. I thoroughly enjoy spending time on Ellis island not just for the history lesson and opportunity to get a close up of the awesome architecture but also just sit back and look across the water at the magnificent skyline.
This is a good relaxing way to spend the afternoon.
Cheers!

If you book early on, you can even go to the head of Liberty, but we hadn't bought that.
