| I visited the museum with my parents, sister and two daughters, ages 13 and 15. What a touching experience and beautiful tribute to the victims of 9/11. My daughters loved it and we were very fortunate because the day we visited the photographer and founder of the museum, Gary, was there and he shared vision and purpose of the museum. Gary's incredible and moving museum was small in scale but huge in emotional impact. When I thanked Gary for creating this special place... he said ..."No.. it's my priveledge..." That really summed up his approach to this project.... his love for the victims and their memories and his stewardship of the photos and artifacts.....I think he believes this is what he was meant to do... and I believe it too. A really important lesson for my girls was for them to see that one person can make a difference and touch the hearts of so many people... Thank you Gary for your gracious spirit and passionate example. We will never forget 9/11 or you. When in New York.. don't miss this opportunity...visit the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. |

| We had the pleasure of hearing Gary himself relate his experiences during our visit to the Museum. What a moving tribute to those who perished on that awful day! Would definitely recommend it to all except children. We should never forget!! |

| The workshop is worth doing. It was our first trip to NY since the attacks and it felt like we were finally paying our respects to all those who were lost. The pictures and stories were amazing. We were there for a good two hours and only left because the next tour was getting ready to come in. It's a one room museum/workshop...a loft, with lots to see and stories to hear (audio tour). A VERY emotional experience. Do something light and fun after. I don't recommend this for young children (probably 12 and up). There was a toddler at our tour and she was fussy. She made it difficult to hear and was frustrating the other visitors. Poor little thing just didn't understand and had a hard time being quiet and still. |

| My husband and I very much enjoyed the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. There is not a lot to see at the actual ground zero other than a construction site. The workshop really captures the emotions of 9/11 and takes you back in time to remember how you felt in 2001. We loved the museum and even recommended it to a couple we met later that evening. |

| I met the owner in Florida and read his book while I was there, which made me cry so much but I had to visit the museum. It really puts you in touch with what happened that day and the horror of it all. You can get an even better understanding of what actually went on. The museum is done so well and keeps in mind the feelings of the survivors. Ex: a piece of the plane is on display, but in honor of the survivors feelings about it, they ask that you not take pictures of this one piece. I took a lot of pictures in the museum, but not that piece of course. I want to share them with a lot of friends and then when I know they are going to NY, I will recommend they go and visit this awesome museum. I would recommend it to everyone. GREAT job Gary!
