Designed by Frédéric Auguste Barthold and Gustave Eiffel (of Eiffel Tower fame), the Statue of Liberty came to the USA as a gift from France in honor of the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Today, this 305-foot (93-meter) statue guards the entrance to New York Harbor on Liberty Island. “Lady Liberty,” and the land surrounding her was declared the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1924.

Great sightseeing tour
Great tour for the price! We had a great view of the Statue of Liberty and learned a few facts about the city along the way. The kids loved it. Our only complaint was a bus load of pushy tourists that didn't seem to listen when the tour guide explained we had plenty of time to get photos and kept pushing my 5yr olds into the side of the boat in order to get a photo! Thankfully we were able to get them to safety downstairs (and found the front of the boat, which had a WAY better view!!!).
