since i'm planning a trip to new york shortly, i just wondered if anyone can tell me if they re-opened the statue so that people can go inside. would hate to miss out on that :-/
Don't mark my words, but as far as I know it is open - but the crown has been closed since September 11, 2001. Since the Statue is anything but a conventional structure, making it easier for people to exit the crown, in the event of any emergency, is not possible. The National Park Service has therefore decided to close the crown.
The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero...........each has it's history............each has it's own meaning in each of our hearts as Americans. And aside from the city.........New York is a truly beautiful state. Enjoy your time there .
