Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

very well done and moving tour

I would strongly recommend a visit to this small museum, I was not quite sure what to expect, but really enjoyed the fact that it was very small but contained everything relevant you would want to know. The lovely young lady who greeted us was very knowledgeable and explained everything about 9/11 in a very sympathetic way, the tour was very personal and much better than walking around a large museum reading about each item. It was a very worthwhile visit.

I have recommended this museum to friends and colleagues and described it as the best museum I've ever been to. Infact you should have a couple coming to see you in the next few weeks - Mr & Mrs Hewitt from the UK. Katy

A very moving experience. Definitely worth the time. The museum was very well displayed by using recorders that described the picture/item recovered from the site. You could stay as long as you wanted. We stayed 2 hours listening to descriptions. The girl, Lauren? was very good describing certain events and relating to us some of what went on that day. and Mr. Suson was on site to answer questions. He is a magnificent photographer who captured the despair and tragedy of so many people on that fateful day.

Thank you for putting together the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. It is impressive and respectfully done. All in our group agree that of the many places and things we saw on our first trip to New York City, our time spent at Ground Zero Museum Workshop was by far what is leaving the biggest lasting impression on us. It is set up in a way that allows visitors to learn as a group about it's purpose and history, but then go on individual journeys through the ground zero recovery process by means of audio tours. It allows for private reflecting about this life-changing event. The images and artifacts are very powerful. We were pleasantly surprised to meet Gary Suson during our visit. Have already recommended Ground Zero Museum Workshop to a friend heading to NY this week!

We came to New York on a "girls only" holiday and had heard about the ground zero museum on Trip Advisor. I think most people will agree that 9/11 was a historical event in that we all will remember where we were/what we were doing when the news flash came on and we saw the plane hit the first tower. As the horrific story unfolded I remember crying on and off for about four weeks solid thinking about the thousands who lost their lives and the thousands left behind. This museum was the most heart rending experience we have had, the graphic stories behind all the photos and artifacts around the museum will stay with me forever, from the retired fireman searching for months for his son's body to the really spooky clock which was stopped on the time the first plane hit, the iron boulders that landed in the shape of a cross and the look of desperation on the fire fighters' faces searching for their colleagues, but it was all created in such a serene way that we all felt quite peaceful when we came out and truly felt we had paid our respects to the poor souls who perished!

Mr Sauson's photo's reflect so much respect and generosity of heart. The FDNY made the right choice when they picked Gary.

Very touching tribute to 9/11. It really hits home to see the pictures and the artificats and the stories behind them. Recommend going and seeing it and remembering those that gave their lives to help others.

Last year we came to see the museum and we left in awe of Gary's work. Once again I have to say we will "NEVER FORGET", thank you so much Gary. Martin & Renee' Ratliff

My son and I really enjoyed this program. We were the last to leave. We were there 2 hours and 15 minutes. We have told several people about the things that we learned and have recommended this to people. Thank you.
