NOT TO BE MISSED Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Thu, Aug 7, 08 11:00 AM	daisy123	Female	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
THIS MUSEUM WAS SO MUCH MORE THAN I EXPECTED !! THE GUIDE WAS TOP NOTCH . THE PHOTOS AND THE ARTIFACTS BRING FORTH SUCH A DEPTH OF EMOTION WHICH IS SO VERY DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE. I PURCHASED THE BOOK SO THAT I MAY EXPERIENCE THE WONDER OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND STORIES FREQUENTLY. THE ENTIRE PROCESS AND MUSEUM WAS TASTEFULLY DONE WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE DEVASTATION OF HUMAN LIVES. THE ONLY REGRET WAS THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET MR. SUSON. HE HAS GIVEN THE WORLD AN INTIMATE INSIGHT OF THAT DEVASTING DAY. THANK YOU, MR. SUSON. NO ONE SHOULD MISS THIS MUSEUM. IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES.
Absolutely unbelievable. Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

When we first entered the museum, we were doubtful as to what it would be, because it was one small room only. Well we have the pleasure of the currator/ creator, Gary there with us, and his staff of 2. Gary began the presentation and then turned it over to his assistant. They gave us a brief descriprions of the various pictures and some other background on various things relating to the exhibit. After that the tour was at our own speed with the use of prerecorded listening devices. Each picture had a number that corresponded to handheld listening device, which told the story behind the picture. We were free to do as we pleased at our own pace and re listen to things if we didn;t fully understand what we heard the first time. This museum even though it was as small as it is, gave a better first hand story of what really went on during the recovery, than any of the major news outlets worldwide. This probably was because of the access the photographer was given and the expertise in which he did his job. There are no pictures of anything that people could consider morbid ( no dead bodies or remains of any kind we photographed) by request of he Fire Department. He put into pictures what no other news reporter or other camerman was able too. For anyone who visits New York and does not go to see this exhibit, you are missing out on the truly greatest story of the horrific events of 9/11. This exhibit hopefully will forever remain the fitting tribute to the hero's of that tragic day.
Best Way to "See" Ground Zero Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

This is such a phenomenal exhibit of photos and artifacts. It was the most moving exhibit I have ever seen. The way the photos are depicted and the audio stories that go with each one allows you to feel like you were at Ground Zero participating in the recovery efforts. The exhibit is well presented, demonstrating a significant amount of dignity and respect for the events of 9/11 as well as the recovery efforts in the months following. Mr. Suson, the photographer presenting this exhibit is extremely talented, indeed. However, the characteristic that I most appreciated was his passion and reverance for event he was filming. I believe this is a "must see" for any one traveling to NYC who wants to "see" Ground Zero. It is a beautiful way of letting children experience this... even if they were not born when the 9/11 events happened.
Now We Won't Ever Forget Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

With this exhibit we will not forget the people, the images, the pain, the loss and our hearts can hold 9/11 to honor and remember our fallen fellow USA citizens. Even thought this was such a horrible thing and you see the picture with the big WHY? someone had written and we truly cannot understand you can still see the hand of God and khow he protected so many and even though we don't understand we know that His ways are higher and bigger than ours are and He is truly in control. He writes the final chapter in life and in the end He will prevail against all of this evil. Then all will know that He is the one and only true God. Thank you for sharing this exhibit with us. It spoke volumes to me and my children.

Well Worth It! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Tue, Aug 5, 08 11:00 AM	gennipher	Female	20-29	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
I enjoyed the Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour and I believe it was the highlight of my trip to New York. I really wished I would have gotten a little more time during the self guided tour to listen to all of the exhibits, but I can understand their time constraints. I believe that everyone should take the chance to visit!
Well worth booking - intimate experience Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Tue, Aug 5, 08 11:00 AM	andyclayton0	Male	40-49	International Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
Book this as it is well worth experiencing, very much an intimate exhibition which at first feels very small but the stories and commentary behind each of the exhibits and photos really give a feel for the history of the day and months after 9-11.
Highly recommended, best museum I've been to! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Mon, Aug 4, 08 2:00 PM	mstapp	Female	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
This museum was absolutely the best museum I have ever been to. I would highly recommend anyone going to New York to see this place. We had our eight year old daughter with us and she really enjoyed it too. She especially liked learning about the search and rescue dogs. We also got to meet the photographer who was at ground zero, and he explained alot of his photographs and artifacts to us. That was an unexpected surprise.
Must see Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

This is a must see! It is a thoughtful, respectful display of pictures and artifacts that has a personal touch. Thanks.
Meaningful prelude to visiting Ground Zero Site Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sun, Aug 3, 08 2:00 PM	MargiJahns	Female	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
We had not spoken with anyone who had visited the Museum but had read reviews. tThe experience brought us back into the moment of 9/11. Because eight years have pasted since the attack and the site is no longer in crisis mode, the reaity of the artifacts in the museum and the telling of the story of the recovery readied us for a visit to the site. I think the fact that life around the site has now returned to "normal" has its own special impact. We can imagine how unprepared and how vulnerable those who walked the streets that day... We then visited St. Paul's ...a fitting end to our journey of grief.
Definately worth the trip and the money !!! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

We visited this museum because my husband is a deputy fire chief in Massachusetts and like many others, watched the tragedy unfold on TV. While my initial reaction to this museum was "This is it ??" , due to its small size, it it just amazing how many artifacts, photographs and narrated stories of Ground Zero are actually in this museum. The stories give an in depth view of what it is like to be a firefighter in the aftermath of a disaster. It does not focus on the horrific act of 9/11 or the gruesome recovery of the bodies, but rather on the human spirit of triumph over tragedy. You will see unique photographs and hear stories of what went on at the Ground Zero site from the perspective of the official photographer hired by the fire department. It is a "MUST SEE" for anyone in the fire service or married to the fire service as it depicts the true nature of what this profession does, the sacrifices these people make, and the brotherhood that exists between firefighters that cannot be explained in words. You will "FEEL" sad when you look at a picture of a retired firefighter dad holding the fire helmet of his missing son, but you will "FEEL" joy holding one of the steel crosses or Stars of David that an iron worker cut from the wrecked steel beams of the towers so that each family that lost a loved one in the tragedy, has a piece of the building. You will leave this museum with an understanding that we must "NEVER FORGET".
Emotional but very informative Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Aug 2, 08 11:00 AM	nbarrett	Unspecified	Unspecified	International Tourist(s)	Family With Children
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) .
sympathetic Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Aug 2, 08 11:00 AM	johnrumb	Male	40-49	International Tourist(s)	Family With Children
A worthwhile visit , tactfully presented. As you can appreciate this is not a 'happy' place to visit; but it is presented in a positive light and the focus is on the recovery and human elements involved. visited with 10yr old who asked questions all day long after the visit. Probably not suitable for younger children as it's a self guided audio tour and location is very small.
Worthwhile so long as you understand what it is Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

I will admit to having been a little disappointed having read many rave reviews on Zerve before booking this activity. The video at the beginning is on a "home" sized television and is often duplicative of what the guides say and the recorded descriptions of the photos/recovered artifacts. As the tour before us was running late, we were forced to wait outside the building in an area that can kindly be described as malodorous. While the photos/stories are important and significant, they are not much different than what one could find with an internet search. This is a museum that should be visited if you are local or are spending a lot of time in New York, as there are many more interesting options available if you just have a 3-4 day stay in NY.
Memorable & Thought Provoking! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

I brought two co-workers NYC for a 'girls weekend' and their first trip to the Big Apple. Visiting your museum was the highlight our our trip. It really brought home all that was lost that day. I have undying respect for those who spent countless hours working to recover those lost at Ground Zero. Your museum is a MUST SEE for all those visiting NYC. I will be referring the Ground Zero Workshop Museum to all of my friends, family and co-workers.
