Before you go, in my words
Quoted from my own guidesWhat I go for
From Best things to do in ManhattanBut, if you’re okay simply seeing the statue up close – I suggest taking the Staten Island Ferry (which is free) and sails right near the Statue of Liberty.
What I’d skip
From How to Visit the Statue of Liberty in New York CityThere’s a lot of ticket sellers around Battery Park touting tickets to the Statue of Liberty but most of these are tourist traps, avoid.
When to go
From How to Visit the Statue of Liberty in New York CityWeekdays are generally less crowded than weekends, and aim for the first ferry of the day whenever possible. Check for special events that might impact your visit.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
