The Statue of Liberty will reopen on July 4 following the closure of Liberty Island in October last year after Hurricane Sandy. The reopening will also bring an enhanced visitor experience with reduced wait times.
Until then, Statue Cruises, the official concessionaire of the National Park Service, is expanding its daily Statue of Liberty Harbour Tours to give visitors more opportunities to enjoy close views of the statue. Statue Cruises offers up to 20 departures a day, seven days a week.
Sights on the tour include the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the 9-11 Memorial, the South Street Seaport, Governors Island and the Brooklyn Bridge, among others. The hour-long tours depart daily from Battery Park at the foot of Manhattan every 30 minutes.
Tickets for the narrated sightseeing tours are $24 (adults); $17 (seniors) and $12 (children). For more information, please visit www.statuecruises.com.
