I was going to make up a joke about carpentry...But I can’t think of any that wood work!
Very clean. Even though there were a ton of people surprisingly everything flowed smoothly! Beautiful historical place!
-PHOTO SCAM , be aware photo lady parcel in front of the statue and stands in front of your camera too close to your face so you dont take a photo (without a mask)
- This is a public space, no one can tell you what to do ensure you get the experience 100%, feel free to scream this is your vacation dont let them tell you to move.
- photo crew forces big groups to stay in cold Right in front of the statue to blocks other visitors to be able to see the statue so visitors cannot take their own photo.
- Photography people charge $70 dollars for 6 photos and you have to stand in line at least 25 mins very crowded small space to be able to get your photos.
- they make you hold dirty things or wear dirty crown or things like that while taking photo thats not sanitized.
- please dont waste your money, You can print same quality photos on staples, walgreen or CVS in 5 mins for 10 dollars

It was good to have some shades and ice cream after walking a long time.
Me and my wife visited here in February 2019
What a lovely place
We had only seen this before on films television books
But been there in person we will always remember our time here

This 11-point star layer fort made of granite today serves as the base for the Statue of Liberty. It no more serves as a fortification and has no military installations today. A small gallery inside the building displays the history of the Statue of Liberty from conceptualization, engineering, construction, funding right up to the commissioning of the sculpture. Also a flight of stairs from inside the fort building takes you up to the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.
Only got to see the outside of Fort Wood but it was mesmerizing.
