Definitely worth paying for the ferry to Liberty Island 🗽
If you’re in New York City 🗽 and want to visit the Statue of Liberty, definitely pay for the ferry that takes you to Liberty Island. Trust me, you won’t regret it! The free Staten Island Ferry lets you see the Statue of Liberty too, but only from a much farther distance. 🇺🇸✨ . . #nyc #statu
