Unique NYC: Climbing to the Crown of Statue of Liberty

[@jackbn9353]

When my mother and I climbed to the crown in about 1948, the crown was open (no windows). I raced ahead of my mom and grabbed one of the vertical bars of the opening. I leaned out in order to read the tablet -- no mom or security to stop me --. The tablet reads July 4, 1776, per my memory. In 1956, I was the first in my High Scholl class to walk to the top of the Washington Monument. Today, at 85, I can still climb stairs, but many fewer.

thanks for the tour! I've lived in the USA my entire life and I've never seen the inside of the statue, looked dangerous in there or claustrophobic but amazing at the same time.

2:47. IIRC the swaying happens for the outer copper skin. The main steel structure is mostly rigid. That's why the copper sheets are attached with flexible bars that can absorb a lot of force from heavy winds.

I went with my family when I was a teen back in the early 1970's long before the renovations. It was a hot summer's day and the thermometer at the site said that the temperature inside the statue was 120 degrees! Still we made it up the narrow shakey looking stairs, not like the nice ones in the video that they have today. It was very very slow moving with people crammed in front and in back of you. I remember one of the windows in the crown had a crack in it. Still all in all it was a memorable experience though one that my very claustrophobic today self would ever do! It's not for the faint of heart.

The elevator line is usually very long, but if you have tickets to the crown, it will bring you up to the base.

I did this once in 1987 and another time in 1995. A very memorable part of my childhood. I understand it's a little more difficult to get in now. Back then you'd basically just wait on a giant line for two hours. There wasn't a reservation or anything.

WHAT i REMEMBER MOST ABOUT THE CLIMB TO THE TOP WERE THE SEATS TO STOP AND TAKE A BREAK IN EVERY SO OFTEN. The cicular stairs have been redone I remember you could reach out and touch the "skin' now it looks much more enclosed.. how is that better ??? WE TOURED Washington DC for a 5 days (week), NewYork City and Philidelphia in 1976..our bicentenial tour.. 4 days new York and 3 in Philly We hit Philly first then NYC then DC and the museums were Great !! The only vacation I ever took with the Family Dad just wasn't into trips like that.. I do remember him telling us about this Fantastical breackfast pancake waffle place dozens of syruopts etc, found out later He was singing the praises of none other than what we now call IHOP.. He'd been to the International House of Pancakes in NYC when it was pretty new and impresive and here he was bringing his family nd well they just kinda dropped the ball.. I jst wasn't that impressive yrs later and well the International part wasn't there so to speak poor Dad he wanted it to be the majical place he'd seen it wasn't there anymore it was just a building that any waffle house could have called eh the house's house...

Many native New Yorkers have never gone to the lady. We're proud of her of course, but maybe sometimes take her for granted. I took my daughter to it , when I took her to see my home town. But now you have to make reservations. according to what the USNPS told me, 80% of the people who go to the island only get to the island. out of that 20% only 10% or less get to go to the crown. The rest can only get to the top of the base and look up through the plexiglass to see the inside construction and the emergency elevator. So what you got to do is more rare now than in the past. This is similar to visiting the Effel Tower , where most people never get to go all the way to the top as well.

What a great video...brought back a flood of memories. I climbed up to the crown in 1982 as a 20 year old (I'm 62 now). I completely remember that narrow, one way up/one way down staircase to climb from the pedestal. We were only allowed to stay in the crown for certain amount of time (can't remember that part). Also, some of the crown's windows were actually missing and you felt the wind blowing inside. The other part I remember (laughingly) is if someone ahead you on the staircase "tooted", you got to bathe in the fragrance LMAO! 🤣

(All buildings sway in the wind, some more than others. I looked up Statue of Liberty- it sways 3" in 50mph winds, and stands 111' high from feet to top of head. That is roughly twice as much movement as you would expect in a tall slender office building with the same wind.) This was a very interesting video. I've always been curious what it was like on the inside, your video shows it very well.

how long does it take you to climb those narrow stairs? Also the pedestal has an elevator? 🤔🤔

[@aKnightlyStory]

@fuzzyduck1989 Hi! Yes, the pedestal has an elevator. To go all the way up to the crown was like 20 minutes with some breaks in between.

[@fuzzyduck1989]

@@aKnightlyStory Wow! youre brave. I wonder what happens if someone has a panic attack and is choosing to walk backwards while people are trying to go up lol 😨😨

[@Izzytravels23]

Hi! We are thinking of doing this later this year. One question, do they manage the number of people going up? If you are going down, I'm sure no one can go up. (Looks like only room for 1 person on the steps). So do you know how that's managed? Thanks!

[@aKnightlyStory]

Hi @Izzytravels23 ! So there is a staircase dedicated to those going up and a whole other one dedicated to those going down so you don't have to worry about coming across someone from the opposite direction and waiting. You are right that there is only room for 1 person, and that's why they have this one direction stairs set up the entire way. I hope this helps! Enjoy your time there

Thank you for sharing we are going to New York in October I’m waiting for knee replacement so will only make it to the pedestal but my son will walk to the Crown he’s very tall do you think he will be ok ? 😊

[@aKnightlyStory]

Hi @janicescott7123! Devin is 6 ft and was ok but he definitely had to watch his head a few times. You can see how it was for him coming down at 6:58. If your son is taller, he may need to crouch a little bit but there are stops when you are heading both up and down. They also don't let too many people in all at once, so he can definitely take his time. There is an elevator to the pedestal for you. I hope your surgery goes well and that you both enjoy your time in NYC! :)

The most beautiful Statue of Liberty and Museum also in Battery Park in Battery Island very authentic. It was decorated nicely and sophistically. Don’t behave like a jealous spouse (Either husband or wife). Take a nice photo of this Statue of Liberty.

I went up to the crown in 1983, i was 29 y/o,. now 70 y/o,. i remember at the time access to to the torch was closed, looks like its the same scenario now,?

[@aKnightlyStory]

@@cabovermike yes unfortunately the torch is not accessible to the public. I think the structure does not support it

[@melmel4943]

yikes! so I can save myself some steps to the pedestal by taking the elevator? does the elevator take you directly to the pedestal? how many steps to the crown? did you book tickets way in advance or the same day?

[@aKnightlyStory]

Hi @melmel4943 ! Yes there is an elevator that takes you directly to the pedestal. After that point, it is only stairs and exactly 162 steps to the crown. And yes definitely book in advance, at least 3 months before your trip. Summer is definitely a lot busier though.

What happens if someone who makes it to the crown suddenly has a medical emergency? Like a heart attack, a stroke, a seizure, etc? Does the Statue's staff just have to let the person die?

[@aKnightlyStory]

Actually, it's funny, you ask. This happened to us last summer when we went back again. A lady fainted inside the crown, and all 4 of us (the 2 of us + 2 of them) were stuck up there with an officer until the EMS arrived. Since it's so small, we had to wait for them to come and examine her, about 15 minutes total. It seems, they have EMS and police staff on the island. It was an interesting experience! They do have a tiny elevator for absolute emergencies only too

[@johnvem949]

@@aKnightlyStory Wow! So someone fainted up there, and they did not consider that to be an emergency?

[@aKnightlyStory]

@johnvem949 i dont think she collapsed thankfully but got very overheated and very dizzy. We came when she was just recuperating, so I'm not too sure what all went down. After the EMS examined her, they walked to the platform right under the statue's head, and then the young lady and the EMS person took the elevator (since it doesn't actually reach the head). The boyfriend and police officer had to walk all the way down since the elevator only fits 2 people. Was a crazy experience and definitely made the small space feel even smaller! Thankfully, she was ok. As far as bigger issues like stroke, heart attacks, and such, it would be very tricky as they would probably have to carry them down at least one flight of narrow stairs until the elevator. I'm sure they are used to it, though 🤔

[@CH-dk5lc]

My parents can not climb, do they have an elevator to travel up please?

[@aKnightlyStory]

Hi there. Unfortunately the crown cannot be reached using an elevator - that is stairs only. However, there is an elevator to the pedestal (below the feet of the statue). To give you an idea, the view from the pedestal is at 3:32 in our video Here is more info if you need: www.statueoflibertytickets.com/faq/?gclid=CjwKCAjwrpOiBhBVEiwA_473dHtMLdWAMaWDLak80gkRbR5SpVsgar8lgt12yS7Cd0yFy3QcgwLS7BoCkQsQAvD_BwE#29

There appears to be an elevator that goes to the pedestal but not the crown

[@ahsanulhoque5671]

If there too old to climb there is no need for them to go

[@Engineer9736]

@@ahsanulhoque5671 What’s that for dumb comment? If a person becomes old, their dreams become invalid or something?
