Statue of Liberty by Lizzie T.

Did you know that the Statue of Liberty just reopened? The Statue of Liberty is a worldwide known statue. It welcomed all of the immigrants to the U.S. When their ship came to Ellis Island, they saw Miss Liberty standing tall and proud! You can still go up it today, but their is a lot of security! It is an adventure that you don't want to miss!

For a while you could go up to the torch and the crown,but they closed the torch down because it was not safe. You had to climb a ladder to get up there! Now, you can still go up the torch, but you have to get special tickets. The Crown was closed up until a short bit ago, because of the 9-11 twin tower disaster. They are closing it again soon to create an escape stair case from the crown. I do not know when it will open again once they make an escape stair case.

The process of getting to the statue of Liberty is harder than getting up it! Make sure you order the crown access and audio tickets way in advance.If you don't, you can't go up!You do have to go through security twice, but it isn't too bad. You will be able to put all of your stuff in a locker for a dollar. It is your choice, but the audio is nice too! With audio, you can get more information while you look around in the monument exibit. this link is to more information on the Statue of Liberty. Have fun Climbing!( Type an extra w in the beginning and try again)
