The Best View of the statue of Liberty From New Jersey

3 Tips on how to get even closer...

By far, Liberty State Park is the best place to view the Statue of Liberty from it's long and beautiful boardwalk . It is the less crowded side to take the ferry to Ellis Island and Liberty Island, if that wasn't enough, you will be treated with an awesome view of the downtown New York City Skyline. 


1.If you want to see Lady Liberty up close and personal..

..take the ferry to Liberty Island and give yourself the option to explore her pedestal or enter all the way to the crown(for this you will need to register yourself few months in advance). That will require a lot of walking but many people have decided to stay in the ferry ,get the close up pictures and then get back to the Park.


2. You will get a great view of the Statue of Liberty, downtown Manhattan NY and Ellis Island, from the 2 miles long and beautiful boardwalk at Liberty State Park. 


Do not take the views from this boardwalk for granted , it draws over four million visitors a year and growing, plus the Park is well kept with no shortage of clean restrooms and plenty of free and paid parking.


3. Flag Plaza/ Black Tom Island at Liberty State Park.


This is by far the closest place on the Liberty State Park grounds to see the Statue of Liberty without taking the ferry , it is a very peaceful area of the park with plenty of free parking, but in this very ground more than a 100 years ago the German government ,at war with the allies in world war 1 , staged a sabotage on a weapons depot at Black Tom Island and the explosion was felt more than 90 miles away in Philadelphia and it is because this explosion that the Lady's torch has been closed off to visitors.
