Liberty Island: Pedestal Access
Description
Access to the Pedestal of the statue, including right to the top underneath the feet of the statue. There's even a glass ceiling you can look up through to see the structure of the inside of the statue. From the Pedestal you get amazing views across to Manhattan and Brooklyn, as well as very good views of the statue. In the base of the Pedestal is a small museum that tells the story of the construction and donation of the statue - though much of this is now replicated in the free museum at the end of the island. From the museum you can either take the 190 or so stairs up to the top of the Pedestal, or you can take a lift and then 25 steps. From the top level of the pedestal you then descend back down and out onto Fort Wood which stood on this site before the statue and whose structure was used as the foundation for the statue. From here are some of the best views of the statue itself.
