| We both enjoyed the museum and workshop. The reason it is called a workshop is because you can touch some of the objects found in ground zero. This made the events on 9/11 more real and put a personal touch to each individual killed that day. |

Very memorable and worth the price

| For starters, I would like to start off by saying , the tour guides were very nice and professional. They explained thoroughly what we were to see, hear, and expect among the two hours of the stay. Even though the physical space is small, there was plenty of information to see, and hear through the state of the art audio tour. It put me personally back in the time period of September 2001. At times it made me emotional which was to expect. Just seeing the pieces of rubble, parts of the building and personal belongings that were gathered from the site just put me in another state of mind of tranquility, anger, and then saddness form all that happened that day. I LOVE the pictorial book that I purchased. It really explains the reality of what the photographer went through for the period of time that he and the firefighters/police/ EMT'S delt with this unbelievable tragedy. Thank you very much for the memory. There is not a day that goes by that I could forget what happened on that day. "I will never forget". And now, I have a new memory to remember daily!

| As Gary Suson said in his introduction, don't be fooled by the small size of the venue. It gives a small insight into what the rescue workers had to go through in their efforts. It was very sad to hear the stories of the firefighters searching, often unsucessfully, for their sons and brothers. |

| Upon entering the workshop's space, you think "this is really small, how am I going to spend 90 minutes here?" This thought soon dissipates as you realize you are in a small space which encompasses the enormous heartbreak of the 2,700 plus victims' families. You further realize that their pain is compounded by the sorrow seen in the faces of the FDNY recovery workers. This is an intimate place for you to see, hear, touch and feel a fraction of the profound agony thru Gary Suson's magnificent photographs and interactive workshop. The space which the Ground Zero Museum Workshop occupies is similar to a human heart, small in size, but rich in the love, sadness, loss, tears and memories that it holds on to. May none of us ever forget 9/11, the victims, their families and all of the brave recovery workers. |

| I did not know anyone killed on Sept. 11, but the museum helped me feel like they were all family. I would recomend this place to all citizens to visit and learn what happed that day. The photographs were wonderful and the audio tour helped me understand what it must have been like during the recovering period. Thank you. |

| The discussion of the event was provided by the photographer himself the day I was there, the video and display were very very well done. The pictures were so moving . It was quite evident how much the photographer himself had been affected by his experience of the horror that he saw,and the time he spent taking pictures at Ground Zero.
Frankly this little museum needs to be moved to a larger space to do it better justice. And I bet more pictures would be on display of this horrible event if there were more room. it was really a touching experience!

| Incredible. This is a must see attraction if you're visiting NYC. Don't let the size of the museum fool you, you'll need all 2 hours to absorb everything. |

| The many photographs give you a sense of what the recovery process entailed during the aftermath of 9/11. Particularly poignant were the photos of the retired firemen who had lost their sons in the tragedy. |

| We had traveled from the West Coast and felt that we got a real feeling for what NY had gone through on 9/11. It was tastefully done with great respect for those who were closely touched by this event, yet informative enough and thoughtfully done so many of our questions were answered. It put the tragedy and loss to so many in human terms and was the most meaningful activity we did on our visit to NYC. |

| It was O.K . The neighborhood didn't seem like the best place to be, even the cab driver said are you sure this is the right address?, but once we were greeted at the door by a nice looking young lady, I felt better. I expected the museum to be bigger than it was, and was a bit disappointed, because there were more pictures than items displayed. We took my grandson with us (11yrs old) I think he enjoyed it, because he liked the companion? (electronic listening devise) and he could go at his own pace and view what he wanted. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, but I thought the souvenirs were a bit pricey. $6.00 for a postcard. It was nice to visit once, but I don't think I will go back. |
