| I, along with three of my girlfriends from the UK, visited the museum on Dec 11th 2007.
We were not at all certain what to expect, hoping it would not dwell on the morbid.
Our main purpose was to pay our respects to all those who lost their lives on Sept 11th, also to their families and friends.
We need not have been concerned. From the moment we rang the bell, we were warmly welcomed by Lou, who gave the talk, also Gary Suson himself who happened to be at the museum that day.
We appreciated the ability to absorb the exhibits in our own time. The hand held commentary devices were ideal.
We found the entire experience to be moving and a great testimonial to the ultimate love and comradeship of the "first responders"
Thank you Gary |

| It far exceeded my expectations. We were lucky in that the photographer conducted the tour and his descriptions and stories were utterly moving. We had tears in our eyes, but they were tempered by pride and, yes, joy that our country came through this stronger than ever. Everyone should see this. |

| My wife & I and both adult children were very impressed by the Ground Zero Museum. Great video to start the experience. We were fortunate to have Gary Suson present & he spoke for 10 minutes & his insight was greatly appreciated. The photos are top-notch & the audio system that allows you to hear the story behind each photo, in Gary's own words, made the photos come alive.
We would encourage anyone to visit this museum. It has an amazing ability to bring you very close to the reality of what this recovery process was like. It will enable you to appreciate & admire the dedication, bravery & sensitivity that was a part of every individual involved in the process. |

| We didn't know what to expect as we approached the museum. We were happy with the reverence respect shown to the families of the disaster.
It was a good way to (if you will) ease us into visiting the actual site.
I have been telling my friends and family about our experience and I would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting the city,.

| An experience that you will not get anywhere else. The Ground Zero Museum Workshop is a moving experience that my sister and I will never forget. Definitely a most stop if you are in New York City. We liked the hands on experience. |

| I did not know what to expect after arriving at the location. Once you enter the room it is like you enter a part of history. Seeing the pictures and all the relics that were recovered from Ground Zero made you feel sad but overwhelmed by everything. It is unbelievable. A must see by everyone. Helps you inderstand more of what happened that day and for months after that fateful day. Gary did a wonderful job. I hope it stays open for a very long time. I want my grandchildren to see it. I stll can't stop talking about it and what I learned that day. The earphones and the ability to hear the stories behind the pictures and items from Ground Zero is the greatest idea. Thanks for the best part of my day trip to New York. |

| This was a very emotional experience. The small scale and the personal interaction of the museum serves the viewer very well. It is as close to being "there" as I would ever want to be. |

| Was not senstionalized, yet very sensitive & thought provoking. Helped realize what the recovery workers went through--although you could never realize the full intensity unless you were actually there.
Thought the project was done with a great deal of dignity & respect for all involved. |

This is GREAT!!!

| We were a group of 11 (ages 80 to 10). We were very impressed by our visit. I believe the adults got much more out of the presentation than the children; however, I am sure the children came away with much more of an understanding of this terrible event than they had going in.
It is such an emotional experience. Every picture has a story and they all tug at your heart. I found the story of the two fathers particularly touching. The museum brought tears to my eyes and a feeling of gratitude for firemen everywhere (and of course particularly in this incident) who gallantly go into terrible situations. I felt such pride in the courage and determination of the firefighters who determinedly went back day after day searching for remains. Our country needs to stand behind them now and take care of the health problems they are encountering due to their efforts. |
