Visiting
The Statue of Liberty
Note: The Statue will close October 29, 2011 for a year-long upgrade project. All interiors of the Statue itself, including the museum, pedestal and crown, will be closed to the public while this work takes place. The interior of the base of the Statue, and the historic fort that is the foundation of the Statue, are scheduled for necessary upgrades to stairwells, elevators and mechanical systems. However, Liberty Island will remain open to visitors during the renovations, and views of Lady Liberty will remain unobstructed. Visitors can purchase the audio tour or join a ranger tour of the Island.
The famous "Liberty Bike"
built by Orange County Choppers and featured on the
popular Discovery Channel / TLC television series "American Chopper" will be on
exhibit throughout 2012 in celebration of Lady Liberty's 125th Anniversary
Year. Housed in a spectacular outdoor display on Liberty Island, this special
motorcycle was commissioned by Gold Leaf Corporation and is entirely plated in
copper that was preserved from the centennial restoration of the Statue of
Liberty National Monument through an exclusive agreement with The Statue of
Liberty - Ellis Island Foundation.
Please visit the Statue of Liberty's website to learn more about planning a visit - including information about security, buying a boat ticket, and how much time to allow for visiting Liberty and Ellis Island.
