[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks!  Definitely want to see Ellis island and statute of liberty—my grandparents came through there and I lhave never been, despite living in NY previously.

It seems like kind of a pain to go up the pedestal at the statute of liberty though.  Any thoughts on whether that’s worth it?  Looked like you stand in a line even with tickets, and it’s a lot of stairs in the heat with no bathroom.  [/quote]

PP who went a few weeks ago. There was a really minimal line for the pedestal when we went. You do have to go through another screening and they limit what you can bring (no food). There are lockers so you can store stuff. We did the stairs but you had the choice of stairs or elevator. I’m not in great shape and had no problem with the stairs. The whole thing took maybe 30 minutes-so the lack of bathrooms isn’t really an issue, we just went before going up the pedestal. The long lines were to get on the ferry.

You do have to get specific pedestal tickets, but they’re pretty much the same price as the tickets for the ferry. I’d go as early in the morning as possible, it gets more crowded throughout the day.[/quote]
