Statue of Liberty's Crown Sells Out Through September

Good news for those of you who would no doubt be browbeat into climbing the 354 cramped steps inside of an overheated Statue of Liberty during the height of summer: tickets have sold out through at least September 1.

When the tickets became available on June 13, we checked out the official site's calendar and noticed that most weekends were swiped already. At that moment we decided to wait for cooler temperatures before attempting the climb, seeing as how the Statue staff warns visitors that the interior of the statue gets up to 20 degrees warmer than outside; that means if it's a 90-degree day in August and you're climbing at 2pm, you might be stairclimbing in 110-degree claustrophobic conditions.

If autumn in New York City is on your itinerary, then you can book visits to the crown for $3 on top of a $12 roundtrip ferry ticket. See if your preferred dates are still up for grab here.
