Some Tips About Visiting the Statue of Liberty
First of all just a tidbit about the statue. There are plenty of tour guides there that will explain
many of the facts about the statue. Such as; it was a gift from France and shipped in 350 pieces
and took about 4 months to assembled.
Also, when visiting the Statue of Liberty with young children, strollers are not allowed in some
areas and observatory. There is a Junior Ranger program available for children between ages 7
to 12 years old. Basically they learn about the statue with indoor and outdoor activities and the
program takes about an hour. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time. The day visiting will take
about 5 to 6 hours, and the ferry wait can take up to 2 hours during peak times. Another tip, bring
a lunch. Waiting in line for food can take hours and use up your visiting time. There are picnic
areas to eat a lunch. Lastly, look into getting a "Time Pass" in advance, online if possible. It
allows you to skip some of the long ferry wait lines as well as entering the monument and other
Ranger led areas. Look here to locate a "Time Pass" reservation: www.statuereservations.com,
or call 1-866-STATUE4 for a reservation.
Of course, when finished with your visit, don't forget we offer many Statue of Liberty souvenirs
and replicas. These can be seen here: http://www.greatplacestoyou.com/nystatueofliberty.html
