Lady Liberty Wants You To Come Over After Dark
It seems like just yesterday that the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor re-opened her crown to the public. And ever since that day, which really was back in June, Lady Liberty has had a head full of tourist, with tickets for the 354 steps to the top selling out well in advance.
Seeing as how that went so well, the city is kicking it up a notch in celebration of National Public Lands Day on September 26. On the evenings of September 24 (for Ellis Island) and September 25 (for the Statue of Liberty), you'll be able to visit the landmarks after dark. Spooky? Not so much; you'll take the tour boats over to island as normal, and are free to wander around so long as don't expect to go up in Lady Liberty or get lost on Ellis.
Interested in a little patriotic night owl action? The LA Times has the deal:
Boarding for both tours will begin at 6 p.m. with departure at 6:45 p.m. The tours will take place between 7 and 9 p.m.
Where: Departures will be from two locations: Liberty State Park and Battery Park.
Cost: $29
Contact: Statue Cruises, (877) 523-9849
And! Important reminder! National Public Lands Day means that all 391 national parks have free entrance on September 26.
