| We visited the Ground Zero Museum after reading about it on Tripadvisor. Its a really small museum. At first we felt "Is this it?!" Thankfully by the end the experience makes an impact !
The video at the beginning is a TV interview with Gary, the photographer. Its a good introduction. However the lady introducing and explaining, could use a microphone as the audience at the back of the room can barely hear her.
The pictures are nice, but what's best is the hand held audio guide and the description and story behind each picture. It REALLY transports the viewer to those days in 2001. One can truly connect with what the people went through then. Touching !
My young brother (14 yr) really loved the museum.
Do make a stop. |

| My husband and I are from MO and haven't had a chance to visit NYC since the tragic September 11 terrorist attacks so when we made our way to down to the Ground Zero site we were disappointed there was only construction going on there although we still said a prayer for all of the lives lost there. We then stumbled upon the Ground Zero Musuem website and hesitantly booked tickets not having any idea what we were going to see. We were overwhelmed with emotion as well as grateful that the memories of that day are not lost completely. The currator has preserved moments in time and stories through pictures that capture the day and months following the tradegy at the same time showing a deep respect for the victim's familes. All proceeds are donated to the benefit of the 911 victims' families and other related charities.
I wouldn't miss it and as a matter of fact, I would like to go back and have the time to inspect and absorb each and every remenant and picture in the museum. The staff was very knowledgeable and courteous. |

| This tribute was very moving and emotional. We met the photographer Gary Marlon Suson at the museum and his work is just incredible. It really brings you in touch with the people that 9/11 affected. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone. |

| This museum was fabulous. New York offers other amazing tourist hotspot museums like madame tussauds and ripleys, but the ground zero workshop topped it all for me. You get to witness artifacts that you never thought would be shown to the public. The people there are kind and generous, they really treat their guests with respect and gratitude. It is DEFINITELY the biggest small museum in the world.
100% recommend, you would be missing out if you didnt go! |

| I recommend this place to people who are looking to heal from 9/11, want to learn more about the days events, and hear special stories that you will only be hononored to hear at this museum. The museum is small, but packed with so many pictures, stories, and artifacts (which you can touch) to last a lifetime. We were very lucky to have a tour with the actual photographer who was amazing!!! So humble and caring. He took the time out to talk with us, and even sign our book that we bought of his pictures! I recommend going to the museum first, then to Ground Zero. Also, visit the church across the street and firehouse #10. This will def give you a new outlook on life. |

| Gary has captured the recovery efforts from the World Trade Center in a powerful and moving series of photographs. He personally narrates each, which brings you right back to that day when our freedom and innocence was stolen. The musuem is something that every person should see. "Lest we forget" |

| 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. |

| This museum was a place where you truly felt connected to 9/11. Well worth the trip. We liked how personal the experience was. Definitely an emotional journey but one that we'd definitely recommend. |

| We had the privlidge of having Mr. Gary Suson lead our tour. The museum is well thought out and a tribute to all of those who lost their lives on 9/11. We will definately visit the museum again when we are in NYC. Thank you Mr. Suson for taking the time to lead our tour. |
