Ground Zero Museum Customer Reviews

Average Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Very well done!

The museum is only one room but is full of touching stories and various items that really do a great job of showing the magnitude and human side of the 911 tragedy. The self paced audio presentation and small group allow you to reflect on different stories privately and spend as much or little time as you like. Very well done - I liked that it was tucked away, no touristy signs or neon marquee, no children - it allowed a very personal, meaningful experience. Thank you.

Ground Zero Museum Review

A wonderful experience, tastfully presented and moving. My wife and I were both impressed at the amount of 'history' included in such a small space. As a native New Yorker 9/11 was devastating but Mr Suson focused on the humanity of the weeks that followed. Very few cities could have suvived what happened that day, but the heroism of the first responders allowed all of us to go forward.

Ground Zero Tour Review

By far this is the most incredible must see of New York City. An incredible tribute to the heroes of that day as well as a tribute to all those who lost their loved ones. I will be sure every time I come home to New York to spend time at the best biggest little museum!!!

Question: I am considering purchasing 2 tickets to this tour. I have an infant (less than a year old). Can I bring him on this tour? If so, does he also require a ticket?

Answer: The Ground Zero Museum Workshop is known as a kid friendly museum. The collection of images is non graphic in nature. If you are bringing an infant, or a child below the age of 4, you do not need to purchase a ticket for them. However, if your child begins to cry, he Museum asks that you step out until your child has calmed down. The Museum is a small space, and it is difficult for others to hear and focus on the tour with a crying child.
Question: I am interested in purchasing this experience for my wife and I. Will we tour the site of the original twin towers of the World Trade Center?

Answer: The tour is not located at Ground Zero, and is not a tour of Ground Zero. It is a hands-on interactive tour that brings the Ground Zero "Recovery Period" to life. You will have headphones to hear the stories behind the real-life images and artifacts on display at the museum.
Question: Is the 9/11 tour self-guided?

Answer: No. Every group will have a personal tour guide. Occasionally the photographer, Gary Suson, will conduct the tours himself.
