Begin your visit on Liberty Island, home to one of the most iconic symbols of freedom in the world. Stroll the grounds at your own pace, take in stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, and explore the Statue of Liberty Museum, where you'll learn about the statue’s design, symbolism, and evolution over time. Stand face-to-face with the original torch, discover how Lady Liberty was constructed, and hear the powerful stories behind her enduring legacy.
