| Though small, this museum had an intensive display of photos and items recovered from Ground Zero with audio stories of each display. Very tasteful account of what happened on 9/11/2001 that literally took you back in time to that horrific day New Yorkers endured. I was able to buy a beautiful book by Gary Suson who was the appointed photographer of this horrific event. I will treasure this book as an important part of American history that affected the entire world. The young tour guide did an awesome job of respectfully narrating the contents of this modest museum and, out of respect for this nation, ALL Americans visiting NYC should visit this Ground Zero Museum. I was there - my room overlooked Ground Zero...part of me felt self-loathing for looking down into it, yet I could not stop. God bless Gary Suson, the citizens of this awesome city, and God bless all of us. THANK YOU. |

| Hadn't heard too much about this museum except for what was on their website. I am very glad we decided to go. This is a must for anyone interested in 9/11 and should be done if you have any interest in seeing Ground Zero. It is a very small, intimate museum, which at first is a surprise when you walk in. However, it is very well done, and you appreciate the intimacy as you experience it. The videos in the begininng are very well done and the recordings of the different items are excellent. We went with our two kids ages 11 and 14. We spent about a 1 hr. and 15 minutes there. The 3 young ladies who were docents also did an excellent job. |

| When you walk into this museum the first thing you notice is the size. It is a very small room. This must not put you off, as described by its staff, it is the biggest little museum.
Gary's photgraphs and the items that he salvaged from Ground Zero really reflect the bravery and spirit that was present all the way through the search for survivors.
My husband and I found the visit to the museum to be moving and an experience that we will never forget. We would reccomend this to anyone. |

| This was a fantastic exhibit and well worth the time. Our whole family was moved by the pictures and all the stories that were told in the exhibit. We enjoyed the small intimate setting and the ability to take our time to view all of the pictures. The exhibit gave us a better appreciation of the tragic event and it made us realize that good can come from evil. Thank you for providing this opportunity to the public. It is a must see for everyone. |

| What a pleasant surprise the Ground Zero Museum Workshop tour was! The workshop venue was very tastefully done. The narrative, displays and videos were very thought provoking and informative. i would highly recommend booking this workshop prior to even going to the site, as it puts it all in perspective and in some ways shows the events of 911 and the victims and heros who perished and survived in a different light. |

| I was expecting so much more. Was a very small room where we watched a movie first and the movie had the same images as were on the wall that you looked at afterwards. |

| I enjoyed the verbal presentation and particularly liked the photos. As the museum expands it would be effective to have more relics of the actual day. The glass display is great, as is the fragment of the plane. |
