| we have visited ground zero once before, in 2007 but did not know about this museum. we found info about thru ttheir web-site. we booked in advance and were pleasantly supprised at how intimate and non-touristy this museum is. we were deeply touched thru the 2 hrs. we spent there. we read every and listened to every picture and artifact. this museum gives a whole different look at 911. it shows thru the eyes of people that were there and not just what our government wanted us to know. we will recommend this to anyone that visits nyc. thanks again,,, robert & julia |

| Don't be fooled by the size of this "museum" when you enter - I passed nearly two full hours there. The audio tour takes you through the photographer's recollections of the photographs as he took them, the stories behind the people in them, and the descriptions of the various artifacts. It gives an amazing depth and context to the experience, and the time simply flies.
If you are visiting New York and want a meaningful experience to remember 9/11 and pay tribute, make it this museum.
My only slight criticism is the very heavy religious overtones, which didn't sit well with my personal values and beliefs - but this is a very personal exhibition, and I respect whatever helped to get people through this appalling time. |

| This museum is excellent. It is very small and intimate. The gentleman who narrated parts of the museum was very knowledgeable and sincere. The pictures and artifacts are very nice and not at all grim. No pictures of body parts for example. We enjoyed ourselves very much and came away with much new knowledge of the 9-11 incident. Thank you very much for the opportunity to praise this museum to the public. |

| This museum workshop was intimate and honored those who lost their lives or their families on 9/11. It brought the reality of the World Trade Center losses to life in a touching and memorable way. I highly recommend this. |

| The ground zero museum is a fantastic way to get a deeper understanding of life at Ground Zero during the clean up. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The museum is quite amazing and the experience was tremendously moving. |

| Coming from the Northwest I didn't know anyone personally impacted by 9/11. What I knew was what the media shared. The photos and stories from the Ground Zero Museum gave me a perspective about the individual impact to the local lives and the recovery efforts. I enjoyed the manner in how the museum presented the stories and would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about 9/11 and the aftermath. This was an appropriate visit for my boys too. It was not scary but they have a much greater understanding of 9/11. They are 13 and 16. |

| Our visit was extremely informative about the event ,all those involved victims and recovery personnel.It is sad that what is happening to the recovery workers police,fire fighters etc isn't being told to the world as the after effects of this tragedy is just as horrific as the event itself.I would and have suggested to others that this tour is a must for every human being and my heart goes out to everyone involved.Thankyou it will remain with me for the rest of my life |
