She's beautiful! The ride over to see her on the Circleline Ferry was very enjoyable. It costs $11.50 for Adults (13 and up), $9.50 for Seniors (62 and up), $4.50 for Children (4 to12), 3 and under free. You must go through 3 security checkpoints. One before boarding the ferry (www.statuereservations.com/security.html) and two after you reach Liberty Island (originally Bedloe's Island). Once there, they have a nice gift shop and cafe. Had a hotdog and some hot chocolate. I had a nice chat with a man they hired to portray Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, Architect of the Statue of Liberty. We skipped Ellis Island since none of our relatives came through this immigration point, and we were trying to fit as much as we could into 3 days. Definitely go to see her, she is awe-inspiring. The steps are strenuous so you might opt for the elevators. You can only go to the top of the granite base now, but looking up inside the structure is awesome.
