The statue and grounds were well maintained. We really enjoyed our visit.

Mario Castro

Amazing view and historical experience.

SP Kartheek

Agreet and amazing place ..

prhmusic

Worth the walk up the stairs.

Dani Fagiano

Had an awesome New York adventure with friends. It was super hot so luckily it was cloudy. The ferry was crazy crowded but overall great experience.

Su C

Amazing things to learn here and a lot of history.

ichigo kurosaki

I recommend using the free listening tour guide.

Gary Standke

Great time seeing how my parents arrived. The most impressive part was the tour of the old medical facilities. All in ruins but you saw the medical wards, surgical theater, staff housing, and offices . It was massive. The museum was very informative on the criteria used to see if you would be allowed to enter.

john sahlberg

Just wonderful American history.

sachin gurao

Had a great time at the liberty island, home of statue of Liberty. The weather was awesome. Audio tour helped a lot.. airways will recommend to use it. Could learn lot about the history of the place. Great rush though.. had to wait to get into the ferry. Always will recommend to book online.

Heidi Martin

We didn't actually go on the island we were on a Spirit Cruise and it got real close to the island and from what I understand it is much better to do the cruise and to actually go on the island and go up to Statue of Liberty

francisca

It's beautiful and is a great place to go to. I recommend everyone to vist this place

Charanjit Mudhar

Great place to visit lot of history

Sparkle Henry

This was a very insightful trip and I truly enjoyed it

Fiona Slater

Great national monument! Well maintained and helpful rangers!

Whitney Talcott

Despite all the immigrant bashing, it's still there.

Natasha Meredith

She's definitely a Beauty!! A welcoming to "The Land of Freedom and Hope"!!!

Chris Gray

There's just so much feeling, or lack there of, defending a nation's right to defend itself. No words can describe the change in the country the day those towers disappeared from the skyline. God bless America.

Alexandre Reyes

An absolute must tourist destination. We walked a circle around the island, stopping to take many photos and videos as any tourist should for their first visit. We didn't go inside the statue but hope to on a return visit. There are several shaded areas to retreat from the sun and spots to soak in that Vitamin D while you admire that statue up close.

Varat Ruangvanichayakul

The line is forever on weekends, about a mile. Estimate wait time around 3-4 hrs. Make sure to check the ticket office closing time, they close quite early. But anyway, still a must-see attraction once in the states

Freddy Dieters

Great place great views great Boat Trip. Me sending my ashes of my mother back to the Homeland. Love.

Roadblock Thompson

Absolutely awesome park! The 9/11 Memorial is really something special and of course the views of the NYC skyline are top notch!

robert ascoli

Breathe taking....an awesome experience every American should experience at least once in a lifetime

Laurynas Giriunas

More impressive than I thought. Got to know some interesting facts, like how thin the statue is. Also it has a view to a very nice New York skyline

Elene Chumburidze

Overrated, overcrowded and overpriced

Praveen Shabadi

An awesome place and info at Ellis island is really good to know

Beetle Butt

Truly is a sight to see. Sad because we couldn't go inside as all the tickets had sold out.

Audrey McKnight

Nothing much to do. In the end, just a statue. If you're into that, cool ig.

Chris Warner

Breath taking, wonderful history, and fun for a picnic.

Bookie One

Great tourist spot.

Jose Espinal

Awesome experience

Tanner Tracht

Great city's views and of course, lady liberty

Denise Crudo

Climbing to the crown is unnecesary but visiting the monument was incredible

Suzanne Iwai

I have to confess we didn't get off the ship. We were on a five day break with loads to pack in. Photos from a distance but the ferry journey was bright, sunny and extremely breezy.

catherine ferguson

Beautiful beginnings of America.

Angela Belanger

Loved the experience.

sreevin satheesan

Must visit place

Davi Gonzaga

One of the best experience that we have in New York.

Joseph Davis

You must see this at least once in life! I grew up always remembering seeing this fine pady in Ghostbusters and loved getting to see her up close! Such a beautiful island and the ferry ride makes it all the better!

chuck w

Lovely, windy.

Lenore Prachick

Unlike anything I've ever seen. So worth it.

Levente Klein

Very attractive objective.It is advised to get tickets in advance to visit the internal part of the statue.

Zane Blaine

LOL great experience going today again so fun

Kyle Milbrand

Super views of the Statue, Ellis Island, and NYC. Easy to get around and see the museum. The museum is occasionally hands on which made it more engaging for my young kids.

GUILLERMO HERNANDEZ

It is spectacular, great place for family time

Gail Loy

Love how much history there is. I wish we could go back to the way to our ancestors arrived and do this. The Statue of Liberty plays such a important part of our history.

Surrender Singal

Liberty Island remains a must visit for all nationalities coming to NYC

DA narc

lady liberty is just as beautiful as the pictures... well worth the ticket/ferry price

joseph pinckney

Had a good time

Tsvetomir Doskov

Good trip, good sights sing :)

Salman Yusuf

Just one glorious momument, nothing much entire activity 2.5hrs affair approx at maximum

Gianina Palermo

Incredible!!! Liberty statue is beautiful, this place is very crawly and if its summer you’ve got to take care of sun in the ferry lane

Tim Whelan

Great day trip out on a boat. The statue is amazing to see from up close. A great part of history well with the trip out

Marcin Tandecki

Of course the statue is the main attraction, but the island itself is a nice place to spend time, granted, it's usually quite crowded with tourists. The ferry ride itself offers amazing views of the island, as well as of downtown Manhattan (if that's where you're coming from) and is worth the ferry ride in it's own right.

martin rosario

It's very informative as well as enlightening, a must for history buff. Include the Ellis Island for more information.

Sandra Rogers

Clean, everyone was polite, nice tour

Jim InBrick

The statue and the island were great. The process to get there is awful.

Julie Conner

Very interesting walking tour, self guided. Lines are long on weekends and holidays to get to the ferry. Pack patience. Rest of experience was enjoyable and educational.

Yeison Osorio

Beautiful and vast views that take up the horizon. The museum is also great. Offers an in-depth analysis of how out Statue came to be and the great men involved.

Diamond D. Trent

Good place to relax and unwind!!!

Richard Blackston

It was amazing, and stood for our freedom

Mario Melone

We came in March..cloudy day really means bring warm clothes and head gear for ears...wind is brutal.

Antonio Smitti

Not to bad ok if you what and need to know the history of this place but hard to get off give yourself more time to do so.

Isaac Anaya

The iconic statue of liberty. Is really awesome to see it so close. If you go to NYC and do not come here, is like you didn’t come to NYC. Is good to buy the package, so you can take the ferry from battery park and go to the statue of liberty and then to Ellis Island. Try both islands.

Laura A. Fox

It was really fun on the boat seeing NYC from a different perspective!

Tom MacNeal

It's always a great experience. No matter how many times I see it I have to take a picture. The ones posted were from the ferry going to Staten Island after taking my family earlier that day. Visiting, tourist, or local it's a great way to spend the day of you haven't been in a while, or bringing someone for their first time.

Carey Drum

Leisurely walk around the island, free audio tour was informative.

Richard Hart

A fantastic part of history great for the whole family

GAURAV INTERNATIONAL Online e-commerce company

The island is very clean and beautiful..........The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel......... There are some historical moments at here like.... The statue of liberty and other things....... We found it very beautiful....... thanks............

Luis Gonzalez

Soo beautiful, I recomend that place to visit

jvmusic 107

Nice island with great views of Lady Liberty and the Manhattan skyline

Raymond Miller

Heart full of love for America the brave,beautiful, and the free lady liberty!

Paulie/Frankie

We Love the USA, Julie

Hasan Tahsin Gençoğlu

After a small trip on sea, arriving to a cute and so small island.

Jarat-aroon Jaroensawat

Have to go in the morning. The sun will raise at front of the statue.

Noel Mockler

The story and history behind Liberty Island is a must for anyone traveling to NY

Marcey Mason

Amazing to see the statue of.Liberty!

Kaushal Verkey

Awesome place.. Must visit.. Felt great.. Great scenery and fabulous

Ahmad Millwala

Just lovely

Andrea Calderón

The view from there is amazing! Is a nice trip pretty much anyone can afford and besides, it's a nice to learn something about one of the most important icons from USA.

Ephrem Mechessa

It is a must see place. I loved the boat trip. The city that never sleeps. Love NYC

PAULUS SUSYHARTO

Very nice view to recreation on liberty island many of tourist was there to go with small boat to the island and many souvenir and interacating people as well

Hugo Jorge

Great Place

Jasmina Basic

If you have a significant other then this can be a great place for the two of you to visit. Its so beautiful and can be totally romantic. Or you can just go alone and have an adventure. If you seek a perspective of history, then I suggest you definitely get a tour guide if you dont already have knowledge of your own. But if you just want great photos then I mean any and everywhere in NY is a great opportunity!

Michael Chimezie

Fantastic. Enjoyed the boat ride. Very nice tour guide, good view for taking pictures. Well worth the time and money

Roibe Duran

Pro: Magnificent experience, this place is full of culture, history, emotions and beauty. Perfect for family, friends, lovers or be by yourself. Con: There is just a very limited tickets to be inside of liberty Lady.

Hugo Nieves

If you have never been before it's a must. It's a beautiful place and imagining all the people who passed through this site is a very emotional place. What this location symbolizes speaks for itself.

Robin Lacey

Fun

TamaraMary Hernandez

Beautiful , just beautiful ! I will keep that in mind for a return visit , this place is breathtaking , I'm certain that if I died and went to heaven , this place definitely would be it ! Highly recommend visiting this place !

Ayla Kim

There’s so much to do on this island other than checking out, marveling at, and taking pictures of and with the Statue of Liberty. There’s a lot of space to walk and stroll around and just take in the atmosphere of New York City. And the island offers some really nice photo ops, especially that of the NYC skyline. This place is great to hang out at especially when the weather gets nice and you can really spend the whole day here learning about the statue and its history as well as New York City’s.

Ivan Varghese

It is worth visiting this island. In addition, there are amazing views of the Manhattan skyline and the New York Harbor. So, you can consider it as 'hitting 2 birds with 1 stone' Note: Use the promenade on the perimeter of the island for good close-up/selfie/group shots with the NYC skyline (and harbor) in the background. Keep your phones (and any other fragile photography items intact) as the pavement is concrete. A small drop (from about 3 feet) can damage glass components (such as the screen). Mine did!

Bill Edmonds

We had a very nice time great Tours thank you

Kyle Sterling

I can here in the summer of 2001....im from Atlanta, we have our own culture too. But there is no place in of itself like New York and particularly Ellis island. Man, I can still remember the waves crashing up against the ferry. Climbing the spiral staircase to see the skyline. A lot has changed in 17 years but the memories are still vivid and will never fade.

Teresa Suarez

Beautiful. Such a great monument

Philip Goldberg

Loved it! Once in a lifetime experience. Very glad I went. Just give yourself enough time, and dress for the weather

Peter Schönefeld

Must-go when visiting New York. A bargain, also, if you reserve online in advance ($18,50 including ferry trips, entries to Liberty Island and Ellis Island, audio guides and especially access to the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty).

Avinash Dhadphale

Water ride nearer to statue of liberty is enjoyable, .it is free ride .one must visit this island to witness symbol of liberty.there is always scope for improvement hence 4*.

Damon Shodrock

A Must See in NYC

David Hunt

What an amazing place to visit. It reminds you about how lucky we are to live in this great country, warts and all.

senthil kumar

Privileged to be here..... Here only realised the colour of statue was never a green. When erected the colour was bronze and later because of oxidation it turned green because of corrosion. Authorities and people later started liking the green colour layer which in turn is actually protecting the statue from corrosion. Travellers can always view the Statue from ground but for pedestal and crown one need to book a slot atleast a month before. Statue ticket price is 20 USD . Which includes Ellis Island tour , Liberty Island tour and Manhattan

Keep Faith

My mother recalls coming to America,from Italy as a little girl, and how everyone went to one side of the huge ship. It was to see the Statute of Liberty for the first time. 70 years later it's as vivid to her as it was back then.

Avery Mack

Its awsome

Cynthia Ombasa

A great place to visit with an audio guide. The amenities and facilities are good.

Divyanshu Pathak

It's probably the best site to visit located in heart of city

Ram Kumar

Liberty Island is best known as the location of the Statue of Liberty. The island is a great place to watch the beautiful skyline of Manhattan. There are ferries from Battery Park and Liberty State Park. It's best to wear comfortable shoes and clothing according to the weather. The island is a great place to relax and enjoy your day.

Daniel Timms

What's not to love? Beautiful and historic.

Miguel Valencia

An amazing place to know

Levi S.

Nice to see the statue in real life but the highlight of the tour for me was Ellis island.

Pamela Meek

Bucket list item. Must go! God bless America!

Sarang Bani

What a fantastic place, enjoyed being there

Mimi

Great place, if you can get on the island! Be Aware the beautiful island is NOT always accessible to visitors.

Nurul Islam

The United States Lighthouse Board had responsibility for the operation of the Statue of Liberty until 1901, when the care and operation of the Statue was placed under the War Department. A Presidential Proclamation declared Fort Wood (and the Statue of Liberty within it) a National Monument on October 15, 1924, and the monument's boundary was set at the outer edge of Fort Wood. In 1933, the care and administration of the National Monument was transferred to the National Park Service. On September 7, 1937, jurisdiction was enlarged to encompass all of Bedloe's Island and in 1956, the island's name was changed to Liberty Island. On May 11, 1965, Ellis Island was also transferred to the National Park Service and became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument

Christine F

Highly recommend getting tickets ahead of time to go up to the crown of the Statue of Liberty. The view is amazing, and it’s so cool to get to be up there. The National Park Service regulates tickets well – it’s one of the few U.S. attractions I’ve been to that didn’t feel overrun with people (in part because the crown itself is quite small). Note that there’s no elevator to the top; you’re on your own with 350+ steps, many of which are on a small double-helix spiral staircase.

Sitaga

Liberty island cruise was great. Put together by TopView

Hamada

Must see for everybody, expect it to be busy on weekends and holidays. Make sure your phone/camera has full battery to take as much pictures as you can. Purchase your tickets directly from the castle. Do not fall for the guys in red or yellow golf shirts, they will rip you off.

Zayar Aye Cho

Great place.

Mark Pearson

Really Good but you got to book to go up to the Crown months in advance

Andrew Pelaschier

A little dirty, but the view was great and that's what I came for. Also just standing there and realising the history if the place is really crazy. It makes me proud to be an American even through all the struggles the country is going through.

Vance Wickham

Everything there is just amazing and the view is breath taking

Lilia villa

It was a very special experience being there in person, and not just from pictures or tv. I think everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. We didn't go inside the Statue of Liberty, but honestly just being there that close was enough. They have a cafe & a gift shop (with LOTS of souvenirs) on the island. On the other side of the statue, you have the most amazing view of NYC! Perfect for pictures! Definitely would love to come visit again!

Akshay vadher

Very nice

Ananya Bhattacharyya

Awesome place for your weekend going tour . Check it out !

Isatu Hatch

Very good point of view to the city. Also great experience , I had a great experience.

Brad Besher

It was fun

TEJASHVI VERMA

The word 'Liberty' with the same meaning that it has today, found common use several centuries ago. The reason for coining it was probably the European renaissance which began two or three centuries ago, but the meaning of word has occupied men's minds since ancient eras, and has assumed the Corm of a heartfelt ideas.

Nathan Cromie

I visited Lady Liberty five years ago and had an amazing time. Beautiful statue.

Todd Munro

Great welcome center museum. Friendly staff nice views of the city.

Teresa Herring

The island was very nice to visit. You have to purchase a extea ticket to go inside the Statue of Liberty. If you have the city pass, its only good for visiting the island.

Vishwanath Purohit

It was our first visit to US and on first day in New York. The place is very well places and statue is magnanimous and visible from all sides around the island. They also issue a certificate of visit one can add to his/her memory documents. Overall we all in group enjoyed the visit.

Dasarathan V

Very calm and cool place.All part of people visit here.Always crowded with people.very nice place to visit.But you need to book the tickets well in advance.Otherwise tickets not available to view at the top of the liberty

Joe Neale

What is there not to love about this place? It's the symbol of the city and it's a magical experience when you come up close to it. Nothing beats a once in a lifetime opportunity like this. Which is why if you go, take advantage of this amazing opportunity

Amanda Conley

Amazing piece of history! Great views of the harbor.

Christi Taylor

It was a very beautiful sight to behold!!

Naga varun

The island and statue are awesome.. However ticketing staff is not helpful in giving rightful information. The ticketing officer doesn't show interest in answering any questions as simple as do we have any openings for crown visits.

Jan Willem Uffen

A must see while in New York! Statue is beautiful, museum in pedestal is nice! You can just visit anywhere on the island. And, as long as if you have tickets (which need to be reserved months and months in advance) you can visit anywhere in the statue! But big, big minor: the organisation with Statue Cruises and National Park Services is horrible! Especially the service in New Jersey and in tent near the statue. Biggest issues: Lots of unnecessary queing, which make a visit to Liberty Island and Ellis Island last the entire day. No where good information about boat schedules, all needs to be asked at info counters. Specially in New Jersey site. Will call tickets at New Jersey have no advantage over normal ticketing, at will call desk normal tickets are being sold too. They make you pay for obligated lockers to get into pedestal and crown of the statue! And only payment in cash can be done! So bring in some dollars. Lockers are in an overcrowded tent with an overcrowded souvenir shop and overcrowded security check. Staff is loudly yelling all the time to move forward, but there's simply no space to move. Museum in pedestal shows a lot of the statue, but many artifacts from exhibition are missing, even though mentioned in audio guided tour.

arzamarskiborge

A great place to visit! The only downside is if you want to go into Lady Liberty you have to buy tickets months in advance. You can go to the island the same day, but to go inside you have to plan your trip ahead of time.

qwanblew320 Blue

Beautiful had a great time me and my family,,,we really enjoy ourself,,,

GABY TRUE

Great, was my fourth time here, and always it's great to visit the most value human right: "Liberty to do the right act of freedom to bring peace"

Nice place. Probably a have to place around New York. Well organized cruises to the island.

Ann Senyszyn

Great place to visit

Sumitha Tharasingh

Nice boat ride to this island. Landmark statue. Very elegant.

Joshua Oliveros

WOW!!! IM AMAZED OF THE HISTORY! VERY INFORMATIVE!!

Frank Perkins

I wish I had the statue of liberty pictures such an awesome experience

Josefa Sepúlveda

Long waiting in lines. Some tourists really need to learn some respect. But overall a worthy experience, statue of the liberty is way prettier if you see it that close and the color is so vibrant. The museum got some nice first-immigrant luggages.

Tove Sandaker

I am so happy to be there because it's very much beautiful places

Claudia Artazo

A historic spot. Setting foot in the island and getting up close of the Lady was one of the best experience!

Juan Bolívar

A place full of history of what US is!

Hemanth Bejadu

High Class Hotel with the Best

Ihate Allbuisnesses

Went there. Tasted Lady. Didn't taste like liberty. Big Facts. Touched green. Licked green. didn't taste like money. Big Facts. Money make da world go round. Big Facts.

Saxlife

Amazing! Stunning!

Nicholas Montalto

This shot was taken while riding aboard the NY fire departments newest boat. It was a cool day in october but the views were stunning. I definitely recommend a visit to those who have never been to New York. Lady Liberty in all her greatness!
