Statue of Liberty Tour, Page 3

What do the rays in the Statue of Liberty's crown represent? They represent the seven seas and the seven continents of the world. Can visitors climb up to the Statue of Liberty's crown? No, the crown is temporarily closed for security reasons. Before the attacks of 9-11, visitors could walk up 354 steps, which is the same as climbing to the top of a 22-story building, to get to her crown. There is no definite date to reopen the crown.

Can people see New York City from the Statue of Liberty? Yes, they can!

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free ... I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"  The New Colossus by American poet Emma Lazarus
