The statue of liberty is located on Liberty Island and stands at 305ft tall, the statue was designed by Frederic Auguste (1834-1904) was given as a gift from France on America's 100th birthday. It was a working light house until 1902 and from July 2009 tourists are able to enter the pedestal and view the statues interior through a glass ceiling.
Times Sqaure is know as the 'crossroads of the world', best seen at night with bright lights, huge bill boards and filled with the sound and smell of New York, this destination isn't to be missed...
Originally named Longacre Square, It was renamed in the 1900s after the 'New York Times' moved there, interestingly it holds the world first scrolling electric news 'zipper' (1928). The photo below gives me butterflies inside as im filled with excitement for the trip!
Central Park is a beauty at the heart of New York, filled with a variety of landscapes, open meadows and woodland. The park offers a lot of friendly attractions too, such as Central Park Zoo and the picturesque Trump Wollman Ice Rink.
Enjoy New York from above on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building, this is the highest lookout point in New York. From here by day you can enjoy the view of all five boroughs and by night the amazing sight of New York lights and the cast of shadows from Manhatten all the way across to Queens.
