Statue of Liberty Crown to Re-Open for Fourth of July, for the first time since 9/11
For the first time since it was closed following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the observation deck in the crown of New York City's famed Statue of Liberty will reopen to the public on July 4.
The top of the Statue of Liberty reopens to visitors on the 4th of July.
The statue itself was reopened in 2004, but visitors were only allowed into the pedestal at the base of the statue. But the pedestal is not the real draw, according to Bill Maurer of the National Parks Service.
"Everyone has been asking, 'When can we go up to the crown?'" Maurer told "Good Morning America." "Certainly, it is a pleasure to say that you can go up Saturday, if you have a reservation."
