| I bought the tickets by mail. I was very dissapointed when I arrive to the museum and find out that I paid twice more than the normal rate. I didnīt argue there because the environment of the museum makes you feel very touched, but the point is that prices shall be the same everywhere.
By the other hand, I donīt know what characteristics a place must have to be named "Museum" but I think this is just an exhibition of pictures and objects compiled by one brave man. |

Very moving exhibit.

| First, I would like to thank the staff and especially Gary. We got delayed at the Statue of Liberty and there was no way we would make our tour time. After Gary called and stated that we could make another tour time. We rushed over there and was very glad we did. It was the most heart wrenching , amazing place that I have ever visited. For everyone that goes to New York I recommand that you take the time to visit the museum. You will not be disappointed!! My group had two kids ages 10 and 6 and two teenagers 13 and 12. And they loved every minute of it! So with that said: Make SURE you go! |

| You will see a collection of photographs from Ground Zero recovery efforts as well as artifacts from the scene. There are about 100 different displays, which are either a photo or a collection of artifacts. Each display has its own story that you can listen to on a set of headphones provided by the museum. All proceeds go to 9-11 charities. Everything is very tastefully and respectfully presented, and this should be the number one stop on everyone's list of places to go in NYC!!!
They do have a gift shop where you can purchase a book with all the photographs (plus many many more photos that are not part of the display) and the stories behind them. Also they have poster and postcard size reprints of some of the individual photos. Again, proceeds go to 9-11 charities.
If you're still not sure you want to go, did I mention the free chocolates?? |

| The setting and the artifact collection from Ground Zero is amazing. Do this musuem tour early in your stay in NYC to get more appreciation for the city rescue workers. It is so humbling to view what everyone went through on 9/11 and the months following. The photography is wonderful and he is such an amazing person. This tour shouldn't be kept a secret, but shared with everyone. |

| This is something i would recommend to anyone in New York or who visits New York. I also recommend seeing this before going to ground zero. I thought this museum/workshop was done very well and handled with sensitivity for family members of victims as well as people who can get emotional. I think about September 11th, 2001 everyday and I learn more over time, Ive wanted to get to New York for 7 years and I finally did it this year. Looking forward to returning Thank you,

| The museum is small, but a perfect size for the timeframe. The images and artifacts are very powerful as well as the stories behind them. It was one of the best experiences of our trip to NY and well worth the time and money. |

| We very much enjoyed the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. It was a very enriching experience and we recommend it to those who want to learn about what happened on 9/11. Requiem, the book of Gary Suson, is really worth buying. Sometimes, the emotions that come out of the book are even stronger than the ones you experience at the Museum itself. One little downside : The Museum is extremely small and people should be warned in advance of what to expect : a video and explanations about real life events. We had our two small children with us (3 years and 15 months). Despite the fact that they did behave very well given their young age, the requested silence and the small room in which the Museum is set up ( a living room basically), one woman looked at my 15 months daughter who was crawling on the floor without no sympathy whatsoever as though we were disturbing her in her review of the Museum. Very disappointing.... |
