| When I first walked in, I was surprised at how small the space was. However, I was quickley reminded not to "judge the book by it's cover". There were so many things to explore with the help of the guided audio tour, that I went over the 2hour timeline trying to look at everything. The museum was not at all exploitive, but rather allows you to immerse yourself in that day and puts you front and center of our beloved twin towers and the people we lost that day. |

| Captured the horror, as well as the overflowing love, associated with 911. |

| I visited the museum with my two children ages 12 and 14. They don't remember much of anything about 9/11 and I went to this museum for myself primarily. It was a poignant and moving experience for all of us. I have been traveling in New York and D.C. for two weeks and this museum was one of the highlights for sure!! The museum is very intimate and you can get very close to the artifacts and pictures. The photographer who captured the images describes each one in detail on the audio tour. The museum seems very small, but once the initial video presentation is over, you have an hour and 20 minutes to view the contents. I did not get to everything, although my children did. They learned a lot and so did I. The personal stories will blow you away. Visiting the site is nothing compared with this museum. It is definitely one of the best museums I have ever visited. Go, experience, you will not regret it!! |

| While this museum is small, it is well worth the cost. We brought our two teenage daughters who had only learned about 9/11 previously through conversations, TV and school. Seeing the artifacts, photographs and hearing the transmissions made it real for all of us. The museum is put together nicely. I especially liked how each individual could go at their own pace through the audio tour without losing the rest of your group. Well done Mr. Suson! Thank you so much for all of your efforts and most of all for sharing with the world. |

| The museum was much smaller than we had anticipated and we became a little skeptical at first. But once the tour started and we were introduced to all the artifacts around the place, it became so moving and emotionally powerful. It felt much more intense than actually being at ground zero itself. Very much recommended. |

| It was not a downer like my college kids thought it might be, It was very uplifting and reminded me of how much God loves us and doesn't forget us especially when we are in trouble and in great need. It also showed me the great love we can show toward our brothers. |

| I AS A REGISTERED NURSE, EDUCATOR, AND HUMAN BEING WAS MOVED BEYOND WORDS AT THE MUSEUM. MY FEELINGS WERE TAKEN ON A ROLLERCOASTER AS I CRIED, LAUGHED, AND EVEN AT TIMES BECAME ANGRY. I RETURNED TO FLORIDA WITH MEMORIES AND PICTURES BUT MOST OF ALL NEW HOPE WITH THE UNITING OF THE GREAT PEOPLE OF NEW YORK AND THE WORLD. I HAVE TOLD MANY AND STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO ALL.
THANK YOU

| The photos. The stories. The Lives. If you weren't there that day or didn't personally know someone who was there, when you visit this workshop, you will ... well, there's no real way to describe it... you'll just feel it. You'll feel a connection with the victims, with the families, with the fire fighters. My family traveled from California and the one request from friends back home was "You have to go to Ground Zero for me." For someone who is not from NY or didn't know what the towers looked like before - the sheer awesomeness of them; the real Ground Zero looks like any other big contruction site. That's not to take away from seeing the actual site itself. You sort of have to. Its just something we all as human beings; as Americans, need to see for ourselves. But when you walk into the workshop and you see the photos and you hear the voices, you can't help but feel the full impact of that day. I took my niece and nephew all over NY. We went to the Stature of Liberty, the History museums, Time Square...EVERYWHERE. But of all the places we went and the things we did, the Ground Zero Workshop is what they were talking about when they came home. They were sharing the stories of the father looking for his son and of three brothers. They weren't telling the story of a tragic event in our country's history. They were telling the stories of real People.
I won't give any details here. You just have to feel it for yourself. |
