| We enjoyed the museum. It was very interesting and educational. It is a very touching tribute to all the people who lost their lives. It is something that we will never forget. |

| My wife, my 4 kids, my mother and I went on our last day of our NYC vacation. Since I had read many reviews before we went, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations. It is a very personal experience and it was definitely an experience that we will never forget. The personal human stories that you will hear are incredibly moving. You will find that the two hours go by very quickly as you become emotionally consumed by the myriad photos, artifacts, and stories of the heroes of Ground Zero. If you have only one day in NYC, set aside two hours and go there. You will be glad that you did. |

| Touching and moving stories of rescue workers at Ground Zero, as well as a close and personal look into their sacrifices. Excellent photos, great audio guide. |

| We attended as a family of four with two daughters aged 11 and 10.
At first glance, the room appears too small to offer a 'value for money' experience. However, after subsequently being totally absorbed in a new depth of emotion and a discovery of highly interesting and hitherto unknown (to us) facts, two hours passed by so quickly.
Make no mistake about it, this was a fabulous experience, very sensitively presented, highly emotional and often deeply disturbing. Everyone appeared to be so absorbed that you could have heard a pin drop as each of us tried to deal with what we were seeing and hearing - in disbelief, shock and horror whilst at the same time in complete admiration of the courage and selflessness exhibited by all the emergency workers and rescuers.
Our daughters were too young to watch the horrific events unfolding on that September day in 2001 and whilst we have made them aware of it over the years since, it is difficult to tell how tragedies like this are seen and processed through the eyes of a child. We wondered whether they would wish too see this tour on our trip to NYC, but with tears rolling down their innocent cheeks, we witnessed first hand the impact of the unlikely marriage of evil (the perpetrators) and heroism (the emergency services) on their developing characters.
We were just about the last ones to leave - our group was fortunate to meet Gary Suson towards the end of our tour and that made it even more special. A great big thank you to him for such a respectful presentation.
None of us will ever forget this tour for as long as we shall live. Of course, we wish this tour never had reason to exist at all.
In conclusion, this tour is most highly recommended - we then went on to the museum at the WTC site itself - both are compelling and offer similar but different perspectives of 9/11 - and deep and lasting memories. |

| This is a small museum with a large number of photographs all numbered to enable you to listen to an explanation by the photographer. It is a powerful account of 911 and the impact on lives. I found it to be very emotionally draining but am really pleased I visited it and congratulate the founder on dealing with the subject matter so sensitively. |

| 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. |

| This off-the-beaten-path hidden treasure is a must-see for everyone. The intimate setting and self-guided tour of the museum allow visitors to reflect on the over 100 displays at their own pace. Mr. Suson's photography is exquisite, and the tone of the museum is one of hope, rather than of mass destruction. Our children, ages 11 and 9, were very captivated and eager to learn about the events following 9/11 through the numerous photographic and artifact displays. My husband and I were also mesmerized by "witnessing" all of the heroic efforts that ensued following this tragic event. Thank you, Mr. Suson, for your talent in creating this museum. May God bless you. |

| This was a wonderful place visit. It really opened your eyes to the tragedy of 9/11! I loved that every picture had a story and that it was personally told to you by the person who took the pictures. |

| The workshop was both informative and inspirational. Mr. Suson captured the emotion of a tragic time with class and respect. I would definitely recommend this event to both tourist and native New Yorkers. |
