Would definitely recommend booking if you want to do the crown, i looked while i was there in Sept & it was fully booked.
I'm going again in May & will be booking in advance.What came first, the music or the misery?
Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?0 -
It's a bit easier if you avoid weekends, when there are a lot more domestic tourists around. Been many years since I did it, so don't know how much prebooking is necessary, but unless it's pouring or stormy, weather shouldn't be a major issue for a visit to Liberty/Ellis Islands.
IIRC, the view from inside the crown isn't that amazing, but it's more the experience of doing it and I would still say it's worth it.LostSoulForever wrote: »Would definitely recommend booking if you want to do the crown, i looked while i was there in Sept & it was fully booked.

Thank you, think we will take the chance and book before we go.
I've been to New York many times, including the Statue, and every time I go I say 'next time I will go up the crown...' :rotfl::rotfl:

I wouldn't worry about the weather- we did the crown on a grey and rainy day in September (could barely see Manhattan from the SoL) and it was still fab0

I am looking at going to the 9/11 museum the first week in February.
If you turn up on the day, are there long waiting lines?
Or do people recommend pre-booing?0 -
