| I thought that the exhibition was incredibly well done. A small room can hold a huge amount of information. It was quite an emotional experience for me. |

| For such a small venue, this place packs a huge punch. Delivered in a sensitive and careful way, the story is told with photos, video and pieces of debris from the site. Be prepared to be upset. |

| Everyone will have their own reaction to this small museum, driven, I suspect, by varying degrees of humanity and political viewpoint. Whatever that mixture may be, the fact that one chooses to visit at all suggests the former is of some importance.
Because GZMW is an experience I won't go into detail about what to expect - enough is available elsewhere - but would recommend it as a reminder of those awful days and as a tiny insight into the toil and emotion of those who were involved in the recovery process.
GZMW is not enjoyable, but I am profoundly glad to have seen it and would urge you to take a deep breath and do the same. |

| We found the Ground Zero Museum Workshop extremely moving and thought provoking - I only wish we could have stayed a bit longer. We felt honoured to meet Gary, the creator of the museum and also our tour guide Joe who was able to provide real insight into the events on 9/11. The stories about the photographs and artefacts were, at times, difficult to listen to but seeing them certainly brought home the stark reality of what happened that day and in the months and indeed years that followed as the Ground Zero site was cleared. We would definitely recommend visiting this museum. |

| I found this museum very interesting and well put together. The stories about the different photos were sad and sometimes funny. Even though it is small, there was a lot to see and hear. The photos are amazing and touching. I recommend this to visit. |

| A Moving Experience.
The whole concept of the Ground Zero Workshop was extremely well organised and explained by informed staff. A hands on experience and not to be missed when visiting New York. Bring a handkerchief. "Never Forget"

| Highly recommend this tour, it is very over welming & very difficult to grasp the huge impact and devastation of this disaster, our hearts ached as we seen the remnants of what is left , it remains impossible to imagine the enormity of what happened on that day, unless you were there, but thanks to the people who make this tour possible it gives people like us a glimpse of what the people of New York experienced on that tragic day.
I believe some good always comes from a tragedy, I visited NY in 1973 and was affraid to walk the streets, this time we found it to be a pleasure to travel this beautiful city and the local people to be much more friendlier. |

Simply a great moving experience

| I was interested in seeing what really happened AFTER 9/11. As an Australian I did not believe we would be as touched by these pictures, but as a human being, I could do nothing else but get moved both emotionally & moraly. How could anyone do this to another human being?
The photos show how even a big city can really be a country town and show care, devotion & their lives to people they never knew and would proberly not say hello to if they passed on the same train.
The way they worked to save these people and the way they helped the people & family that was touched by this tragedy is EXTRODINARY! |
