The Statue of Liberty is, perhaps, the most recognizable American symbol of freedom and opportunity and is among one of the first things visitors and immigrants see upon entering America from overseas. It was presented to the United States by France in 1886 and commemorates the centennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. To this day, it remains a major tourist attraction and draws large crowds year round.
Tourists flock to Ellis Island, site of the famous Statue of Liberty National Monument, to learn about its operation as a federal immigration station from 1892 to 1954. There are many options to choose from when you are planning on visiting the Statue. You can either purchase stand-alone tickets or combine a tour of the National Monument with tickets to another tour or attraction such as the New York Sightseeing Tour, the most popular tour in New York.
There are many ways to incorporate the Statue of Liberty into your plans, as an add-on to another activity including various helicopter tours of New York, cruises around the city, and double-decker bus tours. For example, the New York New York Sightseeing Tour plus Statue of Liberty provides you with a great opportunity to walk through Chinatown, Little Italy, Battery Park, and Greenwich Village in addition to driving past several well-known and highly regarded New York locations.
This tour lasts about 5 hours and includes round-trip tickets to the ferry and admission to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. It is offered in English and Spanish and for those who are not as fluent in English, additional tours are offered in German, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and Italian. This tour provides an excellent value, plenty of photo ops, and a full day of entertainment and education.
