What to expect
The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. It was a gift from the people of France to the United States and is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The statue is a figure of a classically draped woman, holding a torch above her head and a tablet inscribed with the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Visitors can access the rim of the pedestal and the interior of the statue's crown, and explore the Statue of Liberty Museum, which tells the history and influence of Lady Liberty. The statue is a major tourist attraction and a symbol of welcome to immigrants arriving by sea. Audio tours are available in 12 languages, and a family-friendly tour is also available. The statue is fully accessible to all guests, and the museum offers a unique look at the Statue and sweeping views of New York Harbor
