Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty is located on a 12 acre island on the New Jersey part of the New York Harbor. The statue is made of a sheeting of pure copper which has been hung over a steel framework. Until 1916, visitors to the statue were allowed to enter the body of the monument and would climb the 354 steps right up to the torch. Now, just the museum and ten-story pedestal are open for visitors and are only accessible if visitors have a "Monument Access Pass". Visitors must book these passes before they visit and pick them up before boarding the ferry to the island. So make sure you book in advance as it is on a first come first served basis.
