Statue of Liberty Crown is Reopening
When I visited New York City in 1996, I went to the World Trade Center, the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty.
I went up the top of the Statue of Liberty. Since the terrorist attacks of 2001, the Statue has been closed for a long time.
The top of the statue is goingto reopen on July 4. People will have to enter a lottery to get tickets to get in there.
THE view is all but identical to the one that Lady Liberty must have been admiring minutes before the first plane crashed into the twin towers in New York on September 11, 2001. Reporters and photographers have been allowed up to the crown of the Statue of Liberty for the first time since it was closed almost eight years ago for security reasons on the day of the attacks on the United States. The press tour on Wednesday was the preview to a symbolic reopening of the crown on July 4, Independence Day. From then, and for the next two years, anyone lucky enough to win a lottery ticket will be allowed up the spiral staircase that rises inside the statue like a spine.
Symbolic, crowning moment planned for July 4

To go up to the top of the Statue of Liberty, first, you have to win a lottery, then, do you have to pay the entrance fee or free of charge? How much would that be?

Hi Yuko,
As far as I know they haven’t announced the prices. I don’t know how much it would be.
They haven’t said how they are going to operate the lottery yet. So I don’t know how difficult it will be to win a ticket.
