http://www.yctv.tv/new-york/ - These two sights represent freedom for millions of people, and the Statue of Liberty, a 450,000-pound gift from the people of France, is a must-see for anyone visiting the Big Apple. Access to Ellis is via a Circle Lines ferry, and a (free) timed pass is required. Ranger-led tours detail the history and technical aspects of the statue. Inside the base of Lady Liberty you'll find a number of exhibits and concessions, and from the observation deck the city and harbor views are unbeatable. There is no entrance fee to enter the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island, but there are Ferry fees. Fees for adults begin at $12 for those ages 13 and up, $10 for seniors and $5 for children 4 -- 12. Kids 4 and younger are free. Circle Lines recommends that guests arrive at least two hours in advance of their scheduled departure time. Reservations are essential and hours are adjusted seasonally.
