| Unfortunately, circumstances prevented us from using our tickets and experiencing the workshop. I hope that we will be able to visit sometime in the future. |

| The photos. The stories. The Lives. If you weren't there that day or didn't personally know someone who was there, when you visit this workshop, you will ... well, there's no real way to describe it... you'll just feel it. You'll feel a connection with the victims, with the families, with the fire fighters. My family traveled from California and the one request from friends back home was "You have to go to Ground Zero for me." For someone who is not from NY or didn't know what the towers looked like before - the sheer awesomeness of them; the real Ground Zero looks like any other big contruction site. That's not to take away from seeing the actual site itself. You sort of have to. Its just something we all as human beings; as Americans, need to see for ourselves. But when you walk into the workshop and you see the photos and you hear the voices, you can't help but feel the full impact of that day. I took my niece and nephew all over NY. We went to the Stature of Liberty, the History museums, Time Square...EVERYWHERE. But of all the places we went and the things we did, the Ground Zero Workshop is what they were talking about when they came home. They were sharing the stories of the father looking for his son and of three brothers. They weren't telling the story of a tragic event in our country's history. They were telling the stories of real People.
I won't give any details here. You just have to feel it for yourself. |

| If you don't do anything else in NYC, do this! It is perhaps more important than visiting the Ground Zero site itself. It is probably the most emotional experience I have ever had. When you first go in, you see that there is only one room and you think "this doesn't look that imposing"........ I could have spent hours there. The pictures, the stories, the artifacts--it is the closest you can get to the actual experience of having been there during the recovery. Truly, words cannot adequately describe this experience. |

| At first we thought the museum was quiet small and weren't sure what to expect, but each picture and each artifact had its own story-we were the last one's to leave! We gathered so much information from our short time there-learned much more about what many people went through, especiallty the firefighters. We know people who volunteered and we watched countless hours of television, this musuem gave us a different perspective. Good for those who want to heal and those that want to remember to never take things for granted. |

| I would highly recommend this emotionally packed museum. It is easy to see that all involved in this endeavor have put their heart and soul into it. The photos really paint a picture of what happened on that day and the search that continued for survivors. We were lucky to meet Gary Suson who is the photographer for this amazing collection. Besides viewing the photos, you are able to pick up and hold artifacts from the site. We enjoyed our tour guide who easily answered all our questions and encouraged us to stay as long as we wanted. This museum is even more important now that you really can't get close to the actual 911 site. I would not miss this tour! |

| Very touching tribute to 9/11. It really hits home to see the pictures and the artificats and the stories behind them. Recommend going and seeing it and remembering those that gave their lives to help others. |

| This was my second time visiting this place and it is a very moving, powerful experience. It's really a memorial. Gary Suson is a wonderful human being and had a superb idea to create this museum. Having it in this one room that has 2 small sofas in the room and some chairs where you can just sit and take it all in, in addition to the audio and personal tour is just a perfect way to experience this. I think everybody in the universe needs to go at least once. My second time was just as moving as my first time. It is really not to be missed on a trip to NYC. |

| We (two adults and two children age 10 & 12) booked from the UK. I must admit that when we first walked in, the immediate impression was that it wouldn't take long to go round and after 20 minutes the children would be bored. How wrong we were!!. After nearly two hours we all finally agreed that we had gained all of the information. The staff were also very informative and the music set the scene
We later chatted about our experience and would highly recommend it to all visiting ground zero (either before or after) . |
