CHEAT SHEET
TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
After years of being closed to visitors, the Statue of Liberty's top observation deck located in the crown will open on July 4. The crown has been closed since the September 11 attacks because authorities said the narrow stairway exit didn't permit for emergency evacuations. The lower observation deck and pedestal reopened in 2004. Only 30 visitors will be allowed in per hour, and will undergo strict security screening before being allowed up.
