Once you reach Liberty Island, your guide will introduce you to the famous lady herself and share some of the most fascinating facts about her—including why she almost wasn't built at all! You'll also have some free time to explore the Statue of Liberty Museum at your own pace. Here, you can discover artifacts from the statue's construction that tell the story of one man’s monumental dream that brought an entire city together.
