My family visited the Statue of Liberty when our daughter was just about 2 years old. The look of sheer amazement and her squeals of excitement on seeing the statue were priceless.
Sincerely,
Statue of Liberty National Monument
The statue stands on Liberty Island in New York, and overlooks New York Harbor and the city skyline. A symbol of liberty and relief from oppression, she was the first sight of America for US immigrants who arrived by boat.
State(s): New Jersey New York,
Established: 1924
“Supporting the Parks is ever so important because they boost mental and physical health, they are very therapeutic. Nothing can beat the sound of birds just doing what they do best or seeing animals in their natural environment. Future generations can benefit immensely by having somewhere safe and serene just to relax and unwind. ”
