GoPro: Statue of Liberty Crown 

POV: you just came from Jared Owens “whats inside the Statue of Liberty” video 😏

They should make a slide down instead of stairs. ;)

Thank you for posting this! I did this very climb as a grade schooler many many years ago, I'm 73 now! I love seeing the stairs, they WERE very tiny I can attest to that. I was going to ride the elevator up but my little brother, being a brat like they can be, dared me to go up the stairs, and of course I did! It was not a busy tourist day so we were not sandwiched in between tourists, etc. We were visiting NYC from our grandparents' home over in NJ. It is one of my favorite childhood memories; my own children and I donated to the restoration back in the 1980s but I've not had the privilege of taking them...Thanks again!

She's taking one for the team, while I sit on my fatass watching something I'll never go to.

Those security guards look like they absolutely hate their jobs

I'm so glad that someone posted this, because heights give me "the willies!"

The climb up sounds like an herbal essences commercial. Jesus

"So you're pretty bored up here?!" Like you had to remind them poor guys!!! 😂

Thank you for filming and posting - now I feel like I have seen it and don't have to do it. You saved my legs from misery.

So excited because tomorrow I'm going to New York for the first time and I'm going to see the Statue of Liberty and going in the crown!

how did the ghostbusters walk up all those narrow stairs and carry their gear with them?

My four year old likes to watch videos of people climbing the stairs to the Statue of Liberty and see the view from the crown. She totally pretends she's doing the climb. Can't wait to make her dream a reality when she's 4 feet tall and we buy tickets waaaay in advance. ❤️

It's funny everyone up there is breathing heavy and trying to talk after climbing those stairs 😂

Where is the heart?

.There are many cool things and little known things about the statue, "...inaugural fireworks for the statue took place on Nov. 1, 1886 at 7pm, red white and blue flares lit up sky as lady liberty's torch was lit for the first time." "Every part of the statue is symbolic. The severn spikes represent the seven seas and continents; the twenty-five windows in the crown represents the twenty-five natural minerals of earth..." These are excerpts from a chapter on the Statue of Liberty in my book, 'It Happened in New York."

Walking up those steps is not easy even if you're in shape. It's very tight and cramped and hot inside the statue. I've climbed them twice in my lifetime.

You can just feel the pain while she’s going up the stairs

Thanks 4 sharing... couldn't sleep and somehow the Statue of liberty popped into my head

I still think back on being scared of the stairs to the crown but overall such a good memory. You have to think one day they won’t let people walk up there anymore. Thanks for capturing on video!!

I could hear she was really tired walking up them steps. Really cool to be at the top. Such a tiny room. Great to take photos also.

I remember taking those ridiculous stairs to the top when I was 15 over 50 years ago. It was like being in a giant trophy. It's definitely an experience you'll never forget.

Thank you SO much. I am an old man who has wanted to have this experience all my life.

when ur not in shape and u get tired really fast

what do you do for a living? oh I watch people take pictures all day in the statue of liberties head

I can't believe the one security guard is supposed to stand guard standing on what is clearly not a platform.

I went to NYC and the Statue of Liberty way back in 1978 when I was eight years old. I remember the long climb to the top of the crown and how hot it was up there. I was amazed at how small the crown seemed once you were up there but I was amazed at the view.

Those stairs are scary! I hope I get to go one day, thanks for posting the video.

I did this in the 5th grade and we thought it was awesome counting the steps....LMAO!! At the time, the statue was being reconstructed, but we made it to the crown. It was a nice experience, though. I would not do the climb now however. Not as young as I used to be....LMAO!! I do remember those spiraling narrow steps too. I do plan on visiting the island again in March - just not climbing the steps. Thanks for posting!!

reminds me of ghostbusters when they take her into the city and make her walk around.

As crazy as this sounds I have wanted to see Lady Liberty since I was around 3 or 4 yrs old..I used to look for old pictures but back then in the early 70's there just wasn't that many out there..However, I am finally getting to go up this summer and I will be over the moon to finally see her in real life..Go ahead and laugh if you want to but for some reason I just became fascinated with her after watching the Planet of the apes (Lol!) I hope I can make that climb without hitting my head or almost knocking myself out ..Loved this video thanks for sharing it with us..

1:37 still laughing ;D

The glass bang lol great video :)

Thank you for recording this, so I don't have to

My family and I visited and climbed the Statue of Liberty back in 1988. Back then, her crown only had FOUR windows for viewing. I think the change (adding more windows) was to increase the flow of traffic through her crown.

Sounds like someone was really out of shape from the first step onward. lol

Skip to 3:58 ish to get inside the crown.

Got to take this trip in 2000 and it was exhausting but amazing!! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity for many, myself included. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊 🗽🤩😍

i thought their would be an elevator inside for elderly and disabled and people with buggies as i am sure they would wanna visit the statue too

Awesome video! Just did this climb with my wife and 8 year old twins this past weekend and it was amazing. I went up when I was about their age in the late 80's and had a very different memory of how long/hard of a climb it was (I swore it took at least an hour to climb). Still unnerving and tiring but the lighting and stairs are much better thanks to the renovations in 2012.

excellent footage, will be here August 2014, booked crown visit today, yay :-)

Thanks for posting this! You have just confirmed that I will never do it! I'll just enjoy the view up! LOL!

thank you for posting this... I have a bad ankle and this showed me it is a rough climb with a not so great view.

thanks for making the trip for me.

Thank you France for the VERY COOL gift!

I'm making that trip up there when I visit NYC for the first time next year (from Australia). Its the first activity on my first full day in the city. I can't wait!!

Going there in July , we're staying in jersey , than we're gonna go to some visits in the city (ny)

great footage thankyou!, im so surprised by how small her crown seems on the inside ... she looks so big from the outside!, i don't know what i was expecting it to look like but it wasn't that, it'd be a dream to be able to go visit one day. how amazing a job do those guys that sit in the crown have? wow

I was born,and grew up in NYC,and I remember going to the Statue of Liberty in grade school. It was a trip I will always remember. Even though the climb to the Crown is Very Steep,and almost exhausting,eveyrbody,or at least every American should visit The Statue of Liberty.Mmmmmmmmm

The Gift 🧧🎁 of Freedom that Keeps America as the Greatest Nation in the World 🌎🌍 !!! Thank You French the Gift of Freedom !!!

I'm so excited to go into the Statue of Liberty, even know I would hate the stairs I'll be worth it

I feel like I'm in Ghostbusters 2

This lady climbed a few steps and sounds like she ran a marathon lol

Omg I was screaming OPEN UP THE IRIS OF THE CAMERA when y’all was saying it’s too dark 😭😭😭😭😭😭

We just went there but not to the crown we are going to the crown next time we come oh and we went this morning

Thank you for taking that! Definitely saved us a trip. :)

I've just watched a show called The Secrets of Americas Favorite Places and this video was used on the show. Don't worry Ms. they did not air the audio of you out of breath. Great job of making it to the top.

I am feeling so anxious watching this. Almost a trigger for claustrophobia. 😂 This reminds of time I was climbing the dark and narrow stairs of an old lighthouse. But it's thrilling. I have not been here. Wish to visit sometime in future. ❤

The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The statue, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor and dedicated on October 28, 1886, was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The statue is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata.

I live in NY about 100 miles from NYC. Never been to the Statue of Liberty. Have been to the one in Vegas though. Strange how things work out.

This looks way different than gta 4

Lovely video, just arrived back from New York and went over to visit the Statue of Liberty and up to the Crown. Had my NewYork Pass and no it said Not for the crown. But arrived to go up and told only 3000 People a day are allowed up. And seen that some view and hard to get photos. Glad i didnt go up. Its wonderful video. Glad i saw it at Night by Boat now as that was amazing! Your wife done amazing job!

I know it's hard to climb all the way up and down but look on the bright side.... GREAT CARDIOVASCULAR WORKOUT!!!!

Stairway to the top more like stairway to weight loss

Thanks for the video footage. Going in May 2014. Trying to decide if I'm going to do the crown or not. I don't know if I can handle the small space inside.

I'm so excited I'm going in 2 weeks to the Statue of Liberty and King Kong statue im so excited!

their must be a lot of stairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing guys so lucky thank goodness sharing folks

This is a con to go up to the crown. You dont get a full circular view taking in manhattan, queens and the bronx. Because the second half of this tiny room is encased with plaster, your view is limited to statan island, the water around it and if you peek really far on one of the slivers of window opening at the top, you might see the tip of manhattan! Its not worth going up to the crown for the view. The pedestal gives a full 360 view.

Thank you very much for this perfect video♡ Greetings from Türkiye / Turkey♡

27 stories to climb with no A/C, no water bottle, no restroom. Behind this guy who just had it's beam meal.

damn that looks awfully tight up there! Does anyone get motion sickness up there?

Wow, I didn't expect it to be that small.

God bless America

Lol breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth!😂😂😂

Thank you for doing this. I think I would never have been able to go-to the Statue of Liberty and do this. This is amazing! 😊

Thanks for this video.

I’m not sure if I could walk up those stairs I have a huge fear of heights

When I visited the S.O.L in 2007 you couldn't go up inside it you could only go inside the base part under the feet and there was a huge glass ceiling where you could look up but not actually climb up.

I'm glad they are still letting people up there. I thought they stopped that a long time ago.

Going here in March 19. Think that tall security gaurd will be in a wheelchair by then though, by the way he's crammed in against the ceiling/wall. If i was him i'd be charging tourists a buck to take pictures. lol

Greetings from Germany, your Statue of Liberty is beautiful 🇺🇸🗽🌞

No problem, I can experience it from the comfort of my home, hah!

amazing awesome view 2 police up ther and the black cam is waching you

The red bit of the statue is the heart. GTA SA got it right

Dang it sucks for a smoker to. Climb them steps

it would take me 24 hours to get up them stairs lol

Kind of disappointing because it's so small inside the head and the windows are so small too . Can someone go up there on the statues hand by the way?

When to nyc in 2013 I never went up in the crown because my nana thought I would jump of the statue or something and whenever I tried to get a good view on the pedestal she wouldn't let me look down or lean against the edge

For people who are scared of heights, its only 100 something tall

In 1979 we were able to go up arm and enter the torch area. Now that was a view...

Im having an asthma attack just hearing all the breathing

There's 354 steps. I counted. It's the first three digits of our phone number so I never forgot!

A lot of people forget to look out the corner window and up toward the torch..

thank you for sharing

I’m nervous watching this video causing shortness of breath

The kid has to stand while Gramps gets the coveted Sleepy Seat.

When she bashed her head into the glass lmao

It's just stairs holy shit never seen anyone struggle this much to climb stairs but great video thanks

When I visit NY for the first time, I'm going to avoid all of these tourist money traps and just go straight to where the action is - QUEENS.

You really made my day.....thanks for the vid. :)
