Our 1st time in NY and we went full tourist mode! Lady Liberty is amazing up close and personal, the museum gives a ton of information about Liberty Island, the artist, inside structure (I never knew Eiffel was responsible for the inside!), as well as a 3 part movie about the process of funding, creating, transporting and building of Liberty. Tickets to Statue Cruises are purchased and include Ellis Island. If you want to enter the pedestal, plan in advance, tickets sell out a month in advance and tickets up to the crown sell out about 3-4 months in advance. It was an amazing experience!
