Highlights
Lady Liberty, a gift from France, has a remarkable story from conception to unveiling. It all began in the 1860s with a meeting between a visionary Frenchman and a talented sculptor, sparking a two-decade journey to create a colossal gift symbolizing freedom. On this tour, we guide you through the creation of this iconic monument, exploring the challenges, collaborations, and triumphs that made it possible.
Join the millions who have experienced this incredible journey. Entry to Liberty Island requires a paid ticket, and the only way to get there is by ferry, which customers must book and pay for separately.
