| Having previously visited New York on a couple of occasions we were looking for something new, and were very impressed by the reviews of the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. The reviews were right; this is a very well thought out and compassionate dedication to the 9/11 victims and recovery workers. |

| Our efforts to find the Ground Zero Museum were indeed rewarded. The two hour tour of the museum was very informative and I highly recommend this to visitors to New York. The photos and artifacts gives a good feeling of what it must have been like to be part of the rescue operations - a very emotional experience as well. |

| I actually live here in NY and my cousin was visiting from Germany and she actually found out about the museum on the internet. I had heard nothing about it. My brother is fireman and was involved with 911 and thankfully one of the fortunate ones. My heart goes out to all those families and you have done a wonderful job in displaying some of the stories so that we'll always remember those who have passed but never forget the tragedy . Thank you for enlightening me and making me remember all the good that came from that terrible evil.

| I was glad to have gone, but was completely unprepared for the museum workshop to only be one small room, whilst it was thought provoking I did feel like I was penned up with not enough room to move and enjoy the photographs and other very informative and provoking pieces.
There was a small boy who although not delibrately, ruined the atmosphere throughout the presentation due to his bad behaiour and complete ignorance of how affecting the 9/11 attacks were and was unruly and behaved inapporpriately.
I think that parents should be made aware that it is important that the children who come understand the importance of behaving maturely as it is an event which is incredibly sensitive.
In general I would reccomend the workshop due to it's range of stories and rare photos. I think the museum is a great example of living education about an event which whilst morbid and depressing, helped humanity to understand that man, when at times of need is capable of amazing support and comfort and qualities that I would like to see more of without a devastating attack to prompt these. I have already told my parents who are coming in November that this is a must see gem of the city. |

| Having never lived in the US, 9/11 was an event that changed the world, sure, but not my world. My immediate world remained unaffected from the events of 9/11, of course it was affected but not in a way that was noticeable. Through the Ground Zero Museum, its stories and pictures I came to realize on a more personal level the lives that had been affected through this catastrophe. |

| A wonderful tribute to the memory of the people who died at Ground Zero. Well worth a visit whilst in New York. A small museum which has been organised with great thought and flair and enables you to participate in the audio tour whilst viewing the photographs and artefacts at your own pace.
Take a tissue or two for this one. |

| Gary Suson has achieved what he set out to do with this museum. It was a very moving experience and very thought provoking. The memories and feelings invoked by this museum will stay with you for years to come. 2 hours is really not enough time to take it all in. 20 people to a tour is an ideal number because of the size of the museum. |

| The experience was really worth it. I am not a new yorker and I did not have any relative affected by the attacks of 9/11 and yet, I felt really connected to the tragedy.
I think this visit is a chance to grow as a person.
You should go by all means.
Not recommended for children at all. |
