Thank you for posting this! I did this very climb as a grade schooler many many years ago, I'm 73 now! I love seeing the stairs, they WERE very tiny I can attest to that. I was going to ride the elevator up but my little brother, being a brat like they can be, dared me to go up the stairs, and of course I did! It was not a busy tourist day so we were not sandwiched in between tourists, etc. We were visiting NYC from our grandparents' home over in NJ. It is one of my favorite childhood memories; my own children and I donated to the restoration back in the 1980s but I've not had the privilege of taking them...Thanks again!

[@drewbitner5357]

.There are many cool things and little known things about the statue, "...inaugural fireworks for the statue took place on Nov. 1, 1886 at 7pm, red white and blue flares lit up sky as lady liberty's torch was lit for the first time." "Every part of the statue is symbolic. The severn spikes represent the seven seas and continents; the twenty-five windows in the crown represents the twenty-five natural minerals of earth..." These are excerpts from a chapter on the Statue of Liberty in my book, 'It Happened in New York."

It’s sad they didn’t keep the original blueprint. The statue was originally a black woman (former slave) and the french sent it to them not white Americans, but of course they had to change it

[@scottmoore1614]

I went to NYC and the Statue of Liberty way back in 1978 when I was eight years old. I remember the long climb to the top of the crown and how hot it was up there. I was amazed at how small the crown seemed once you were up there but I was amazed at the view.

[@412sportscards9]

I still think back on being scared of the stairs to the crown but overall such a good memory. You have to think one day they won’t let people walk up there anymore. Thanks for capturing on video!!

Awesome video! Just did this climb with my wife and 8 year old twins this past weekend and it was amazing. I went up when I was about their age in the late 80's and had a very different memory of how long/hard of a climb it was (I swore it took at least an hour to climb). Still unnerving and tiring but the lighting and stairs are much better thanks to the renovations in 2012.

[@jamesburnett7085]

Thank you SO much. I am an old man who has wanted to have this experience all my life.

I could hear she was really tired walking up them steps. Really cool to be at the top. Such a tiny room. Great to take photos also.

[@oltlghfan2008]

I did this in the 5th grade and we thought it was awesome counting the steps....LMAO!! At the time, the statue was being reconstructed, but we made it to the crown. It was a nice experience, though. I would not do the climb now however. Not as young as I used to be....LMAO!! I do remember those spiraling narrow steps too. I do plan on visiting the island again in March - just not climbing the steps. Thanks for posting!!

My family and I visited and climbed the Statue of Liberty back in 1988. Back then, her crown only had FOUR windows for viewing. I think the change (adding more windows) was to increase the flow of traffic through her crown.

The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The statue, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor and dedicated on October 28, 1886, was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The statue is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata.

What would happen if your were going up the stairs and their were people going down.

[@theishkid]

it's a double helix. One for going up, one for going down.

[@browserpower]

This is a con to go up to the crown. You dont get a full circular view taking in manhattan, queens and the bronx. Because the second half of this tiny room is encased with plaster, your view is limited to statan island, the water around it and if you peek really far on one of the slivers of window opening at the top, you might see the tip of manhattan! Its not worth going up to the crown for the view. The pedestal gives a full 360 view.
