Full description No trip to New York would be complete without visiting and learning about one of the most famous monuments in the world: the Statue of Liberty and the Museum of Immigration on Ellis Island. About Since 1886, the Statue of Liberty has welcomed millions of people in New York City and the United States. You'll get up close and personal with this international symbol and learn the story behind the statue and how it came to be on Liberty Island.

You'll have the opportunity to ascend to the sixth-floor pedestal observation deck on Liberty Island for expansive views of New York Harbor and the iconic Manhattan skyline.
