      You should mention for the benefit of tourists that you must book tickets weeks and months in advance if you want to enter the Statute of Liberty and climb to the top. There are so many tourists each day that they cannot accommodate everyone. They allow everyone on the island to walk around the statute but only ticket holders are allowed to actually go inside the statue.

    There's an official replica in Japan as well. I also saw one once in Guam.
