The Statue of Liberty was the first thing millions of immigrants saw as they entered New York Harbor and commenced their new life in the United States. Guided tours of the statue are available. The statue is reached by ferry from either Manhatten or New Jersey. Access to the top of the Statue is closed several hours before the park closes so allow plenty of time including ferry transit.Visitors are advised that during the winter, hours of visitation are reduced.
