Just in case you didn’t know, the Statue of Liberty is actually in New Jersey, not New York state. When the French gave the statue to New York, they had no where to put it, so gave it to New Jersey to look after. Liberty State Park is only a few miles from Big Blue off exit 14B on the New Jersey Turnpike. There is a Ferry service from the park which will take you to the Statue and also to Ellis Island.
