Yes, in fact you can. But not all the way to the top, only to her feet and look into her skirts. It takes a long time though, to actually get there. Yet, it's really interesting, especially the view of NY city and of Statue of Liberty's history!!! Liberty Island was closed on 11 September 2001, it reopened in December 2001, the monument itself reopened on 3 August 2004, and the statue itself has remained closed. On 9 August 2006 National Park Service Director Frank Mainella stated that the crown and interior of the statue would remain closed indefinately. Visitors must obtain a "Monument Visitor's Pass" at least two days in advance. On July 4th 2009, 10 visitors at a time will be allowed access to Liberty's crown for a spectacular view. YES<3:)
