Sightseeing
For a free view of the Statue, take Staten Island Ferry - be sure to stand on the right side of boat when heading to Staten Island so you get the closest look when passing by. Budget about 2 hours because the ferries run every 30 mins and you need to line up early. Also, when getting to State Island, everyone disembarks and has to wait for the returning ferry on another dock.
