A mandatory thing to do in NYC. But the Parks Department and Ferry Service could make it a lot easier, especially in the summer. Like some awnings on the New York terminal side so you don't stand out in the summer sun for an hour or two waiting for the boat. Or like some complimentary bottled water for people who didn't bring any... just as a humanitarian gesture. Maybe get Costco or Uber or T-Mobile to donate water and some misting fans for promotion and good PR. Just food for thought.
7-20-23 currently under construction so there were fences and stuff in the way. I am sure after it’s all done it would look nice. Parking was a thing too. Well getting there was a beast but this was my first time driving in NYC which is an Olympic event in it’s self! We went at night so there were several homeless sleeping already on benches and the like. A lot of trash around as well. NYC is not hitting on all cylinders right now. I was here in 2018 and everything was a little nicer then. Terrible no. But still a little off. Will I come again. Sure.
This was a seamless tourist experience for us. A few tips - book your ferry tickets online. Go very early - it gets very crowded and in the summer the heat is very difficult. Make sure you pay attention to which ferry you are taking back - one goes to New Jersey and the other to manhattan. Beyond that it is a great experience and there are plenty of spots from which to get good pictures.
Great measum!. You could really get a feel of what all of the people went through to male it and have such a sense of pride ...I would love to go back 🙂
If it weren’t for the cold, it would’ve been a nice walk to this area. The statue is a little far away but you can still feel the power that comes with the statue. There is a big station not too far that looked like it had a few places to relax and eat. Worth going to get a little viewing but if you want to get close, this is not the spot for you.
A good spot to get a photo with Liberty statue as the background. A must visit in NYC, isn't it?
It might be appear small in your camera, but you can zoom it to get better result.
There's also a nice park nearby, you can take good pictures there.

We happened to be visiting NY on a rainy day, and didn’t really want to take the ferry to liberty island, so we decided to go to the view point. Honestly, it’s not really worth much besides being able to say you saw it. It’s visible, but it’s very far away and it isn’t facing towards the view point. It’s nice that there’s a park area nearby though.
The place was okay, but it was way too crowded. There was an extensive lineup for the ferry, which was also packed with many people. Also, if you are planning to see the statue, then book your tickets in advance because they only allow a certain number of people everyday.
