How far away is the statue of liberty from Manhattan?|106845

I know this sounds a crazy question, but my husband and i were discussing it earlier and i said it was a short boat ride? Am i right?!

It_s about a mile off of Manhattan. You can see it from land, but you can take a 15 minute ferry ride out to the actual island.

yes my brother went on the boat that takes you thier its about 15 to 20 minutes away

depending where u are in manhatten..but yes the boat ride is less than 1/2 hour right to liberty island. and it is worth the ride. that beautiful lady is one of our backbones of the USA

How far is Manhattan from the statue? Just across the water.

yes about 15 min by ferry

According to Wikipedia, _Liberty Island is 2000 feet (600 m) from Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey. By comparison it is 1-5/8 statute miles (2.6 kilometers) from Battery Park in Manhattan, this makes Liberty Island much closer to Jersey City, New Jersey than New York City. The island has a land area of 59,558 square meters, or 14.717 acres, according to the United States Census Bureau._ (See Liberty Island)

This shorter distance from Liberty Island to NJ is the main reason the Supreme Court just a few years ago decided that the Statue is part of Jersey, not NY.

While it is a short boat trip, the line to take that short boat trip can last a few hours--they suggest one leaves an 1.5 hours from the time they arrive in Battery Park to actually be on the boat.

you can go by car. it isnt a long ride . you will reach a place where there_s a ferry that takes you to the statue in a few minutes. when you make your visit of the small island on which the statue stands, you will take the ferry back to the bank .then take your car to your destination.

It is a short boat ride...you get off the subway at the bowling green station, by the water. Cost about $8...stops first at the Statue of Liberty (about a 20 min. ride) then goes on to Ellis Island, lets people off and on there, back to the Statue to pick people up then back to the shore. It_s a nice, scenic ride.

What is the weather like in Las Vegas in the middle of February?|185736

I am planning a trip to Vegas in February and wanted to know what the weather may be like during this time.

Right now in Vegas it_s low 70_s - mid 80_s, spring weather. Light clothing for days and evenings, bring a light sweater just in case the winds pick up - but overall it_s beautiful out there, practically perfect weather.

i was in vegas this past february for work, it was in the 60_s the entire time. vegas might be in the desert, but it still gets cold in the winter.

February of 2008??? Its mainly in the 80s...let_s just say its hot almost all year round.

The weather in February is in the 50_s and 60_s. It gets cold in Vegas in the winter.
