A great trip! There is plenty to explore here on the island even without going into the statue. Make sure to get the audio tour of the statue - it is free. The story on this audio is fantastic and guides you around the entire statue giving it's history and personal stories of those who's lives have been touched by her. If you have children, make sure you stop by the National Parks building before doing anything else. Ask for the Junior Ranger booklet. Children who finish the booklet while on the island can then turn it in for a Junior Ranger badge.
