Statue of Liberty

[icem86]

I am thinking of going to the Statue of Liberty the day before our June 2016 cruise out of New York. We have two boys, ages 6 and 9, not super active, more laid back book readers. I see going to the crown requires a long walk up narrow stairs. A total of 377 steps, according to park web site.

 

Has anyone down this? Is it too much for young children?

 

Any other advice?

 

I thought I read you can reserve tickets one year in advance, but it looks like 6 months on web site. Is 6 months correct?

Took my six year old last year and he really enjoyed it. The guided tour headset has a kids setting. We did not go to the crown. Tickets were sold out way far in advance. Recommend getting those tickets if you want to do that.

Thanks for your help

At age 7, my son was obsessed with the SOL.

After we got down from the Crown, his first words were, "Can we do that again?"
