Overall

We were here in early December 2004. It was a little chilly at 9:00 am. We chaperoned a high school group of teenagers - fifteen kids and six adults. The security personnel at the metal detectors would not allow our group to go through together so some of the group got on one ferry and the rest had to wait for the next ferry. Due to security concerns you don't get to go up to the crown of Lady Liberty anymore only up to the top of the base she stands on. At the giftshop were signs everywhere stating that you can ship your purchases home and to just ask any salesperson. We bought over a hundred dollars worth of knick-knacks and went through 5 salespersons and had to wait almost 20 minutes to get the shipping portion done. Even with all of that it is one of the most awe-inspiring sightseeing trips you can take in America. Standing on Liberty Island looking back at the Manhatten skyline should not be missed on any trip to NYC. Don't forget to take a gander at the Verrazano-Narrows bridge. WOW!
