Benefits of visiting the exterior of the Statue of Liberty:
Admiring the exterior of the Statue of Liberty gives amazing panoramic views of the New York City skyline and harbor. You can also view New Jersey too.
Reduce the long lines and large crowds since the most visited area is the interior of the statue.
Getting inside the statue is usually more expensive.
People with mobility issues will be more comfortable visiting the exterior of the Statue of Liberty; inside, there are many stairs to climb.
Due to the large number of people visiting at the same time, it can take more than 5 hours to finish exploring the inside of the Statue of Liberty.
