Breathtaking. To think this was built in the late 18th Century is impressive. To go up to the pedestal or crown you have book well in advance especially the crown, but don't worry if you can't get these tickets as it still very impressive from the ground. The ferry over to the statue and then Ellis Island which included the immigration museum was good value. We left at 11am and came back at around 3ish, but rushed half of the museum. You could easily spend a full day here if you took everything in at the museum. The museum is very interesting. The view of Manhattan and the statue is amazing and a must do for first time visitors to New York.
