| I did not know anyone killed on Sept. 11, but the museum helped me feel like they were all family. I would recomend this place to all citizens to visit and learn what happed that day. The photographs were wonderful and the audio tour helped me understand what it must have been like during the recovering period. Thank you. |

"Best thing my daughter and I did in NY!"

| As part of our 18-year-old daughter's high school graduation gift, we decided to have a mom and daughter getaway to New York (we're from California). When planning our trip, I wanted to make sure we scheduled some more meaningful activities other than shopping. Luckily, during our research of things to do in NY, we came across the Ground Zero Museum Tour. We had never heard of it, but was quite impressed with the write-ups and the interview with the man who created this museum. So, I bought tickets and hoped for the best. To call it a "tour" does not do it justice... it's an intimate "experience", where you actually "feel" the emotions that existed during this significant and devastating event in history. Words sometimes cannot fully express the emotions that visuals can. Gary Suson, the sole photographer and owner did an amazing job capturing and sharing the heart and soul of September 11th. We were very fortunate to meet him during our visit and be able to thank him personally for educating us beyond what we saw and read in news coverages. Both my daughter and I agree that this Museum visit was one of the best things we did in NY! We definitely recommend this to anyone who will be visiting NY. |

| This might be the smallest museum in terms of square footage you've ever been to, but It's the biggest in terms of information and heart!! Amazing photos, information, and assorted items all connected to The World Trade Center attack. We had the good fortune of meeting the photographer / owner of the museum. You can still see how it still affects him. Be prepared to shed a few tears, but don't worry, they have plenty of tissues and chocolate to help you get through it. |

| The event was one that we never should forget. Through the museum, you get a little closer to some of the rescue workers lost as well as the rescuers after the tragedy. We found ourselves trying to listen to every explanation of every picture or artifact but we ran out of time and missed about the last 25 - we would have liked another 30 minutes. We felt the experience was meaningful and we hope that it continues to be available for visit. |

| 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. |

| A must see for all! I feel this exhibit may bring closure for someone who has been affected by 911. And a place to visit for people who have lost a loved -a place to mourn. I felt an indescribable presence. The exhibit is also a place to reflect on the giant tragedy that struck this unique country. A place to reflect on the value of life and how quickly it can be taken away.
The girls at the Workshop bring you through the events of the tragic day without the visual impact. The girls Lauren and Kelly were wonderful. I left with a feeling of living life to it's fullest. |

Mildly disappointing

| Mildly disappointed would be an accurate description of my experience with the Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour. I expected something much bigger - the museum is nowhere near Ground Zero and is in a single open room that's maybe 600 - 800 square feet. I kept wondering as we approached the museum if we were really in the right place. Maximum capacity is probably only 30-40 people at a given time. The pictures and artifacts are interesting and moving but they reflect only those taken by the proprietor. Granted, he was the official (only?) photographer for the NYFD but certain famous photos, presumably taken by other professionals, are not included. For example, the famous photo of the body of Fr. Michael - the beloved chaplain of the firefighters - being carried by several firefighters was nowhere to be found.
The museum certainly treats the event with great respect and reverence but I would have expected something that was broader in scale that included the collective work of many, not just one person. |

| Enjoyed the museum, we were surprised that there was so much to see and learn about since the museum itself is very small, but the narrative in all the displays makes for an interesting experience |

Do go.

| And I mean it. It's an awfully moving, and connecting experience. It's an insight into the days and months after, and I felt it was a privilage to have been. |
