NGC: Statue of Liberty Info

[Kevin M]

I'm heading to the national rally & am interested in seeing the Statue of Liberty. I'm wondering if someone can tell me the easiest way to do it. I know traffic and can be tough and driving or riding can be an issue, if there is a good place to park & ride public transportation, best place to catch a tour or any other information that would be helpful. I would like to avoid traffic as much as possible but will do what it takes. Thanks for any help.

I was there in 2000 and went over from the jersey side like guzziowner said. Once we got to liberty island it took probably 4 hrs to get up to the crown and back down again. Worth every minute. Greatt tour!
