The Individual Impact Became Real
Fri, May 9, 08   11:00 AM aneubrech Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Coming from the Northwest I didn't know anyone personally impacted by 9/11. What I knew was what the media shared. The photos and stories from the Ground Zero Museum gave me a perspective about the individual impact to the local lives and the recovery efforts. I enjoyed the manner in how the museum presented the stories and would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about 9/11 and the aftermath. This was an appropriate visit for my boys too. It was not scary but they have a much greater understanding of 9/11. They are 13 and 16.

Our visit was extremely informative about the event ,all those involved victims and recovery personnel.It is sad that what is happening to the recovery workers police,fire fighters etc isn't being told to the world as the after effects of this tragedy is just as horrific as the event itself.I would and have suggested to others that this tour is a must for every human being and my heart goes out to everyone involved.Thankyou it will remain with me for the rest of my life

Very good job from Lou (FDNY Guide)

I' am in the German Navy responsible for the Damage Control aspects, including FF. Due to the job we stand in close contact with the Fire Brigade Hamburg for Ships firefighting. I can imagine what kind of task it was down in GZ. BZ to all this men. I know as well about your daily challenges and salut to every Fire Fighter. In our Team Trainings due to the Command and Control structures we use the DVD from the two french guys because the plans are good but have to work. By the way, if possible, greetings to Chief Pfeiffer. We spoke here about the museum and one of my officers ask me, why we don`t have some artifacts/images to show here and collect money for the different charities. As well we are always interested in presentations done by eyewitnesses. Looking forward to hear from you. Remark: The audio tour should be available in German Greetings Ruediger Grimm Lieutenant Commander German Navy

Must Do in NY
Sun, May 4, 08   2:00 PM geoffjeanine Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My wife and i spent a couple weeks on holiday in the US. That included just a couple days in New York. There are so many things to see and do in this great city, and visiting the Ground Zero Museum Workshop is one of them. It was an excellent experience and highly recommended. Its a great way to pay your respects to those who died and those who survived the 9/11 tragedy. There are some amazing images on display not too mention artifacts and remains that you could see and touch. A must do for anyone visiting NY.

Amazing and Emotional
Sun, May 4, 08   12:00 PM joderz Female Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Other
The Ground Zero Workshop Museum was an extremely emotional experience. To see and hear about the people who worked so tirelessly and carefully to find anything they could find after the horrible tragedy of 9-11 was amazing. It was all done in such a sensitive and caring way. The photos and the artifacts were incredibly moving. The space is very quiet and intimate and makes the experience all that more emotional. This is definitely a must-see when visiting New York. I highly recommend this museum to everyone.

Mixed feelings
Sat, May 3, 08   3:00 PM juliaahatch Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The photography was wonderful and the narrative and artifacts very moving. I was uncomfortable with the well meaning tour guides sense of melodrama..'.this will make you cry, thats why we have kleenex' , and a bit of drama about the events of the day, The events of the day need no false drama to make them moving or emotional...they speak for themselves. It would be like going to a Holocaust museum and being told this is a sad and disturbing experience. It feels somehow disrespectful. I think very little or no intro. from the guide would. have been better, just the facts., and then let the images and stories speak for themselves

Disappointed!
Sat, May 3, 08   3:00 PM annaroy Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I don't call this a museum. I thought it was a personal photographer's showing of his pictures. You play on peoples' emotions and probably pass yourselves off as firefighters when in fact you may not be. I was disappointed!

Highly recommended
Sat, May 3, 08   3:00 PM tinksnsc Female 50-59 Unspecified Individual
I would strongly recommend this tour. In an intimate setting, it is very moving and interesting to hear about and see the photos of the recovery efforts through the point of view of someone with such intimate knowledge and access. It is hard to describe the feeling that comes over you when you see the twisted metal from one of the planes, or when you see some of the items that survived pretty much intact, e.g., a pair of glasses, a magazine, a blush compact; items you use or see everyday and don't give a second thought to but which develop a new meaning because of where they came from. Being close to these items really puts a face on those poor people who thought they were just going to work as usual on a beautiful fall day without knowing that would be their last. God bless the recovery workers who had to deal with that on a daily basis.

I learned so much about the cleanup and aftermath of the attacks and thought it was well worth the money. I actually met the man who took the photos and bought a book and he signed it for me.

A Classic Intimate Experience
Thu, May 1, 08   1:00 PM Jwork0827 Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
My experience was very touching. I can't describe in words what this museum meant to me. Seeing the tragedy of 9/11 on television can't begin to describe the emotion packed into this museum. I highly recommend that anyone visiting New York take the time to come experience this museum first hand. Thank You, Jeremy Work

If you want to find out all about 9/11 then this is the place to go! Each tour is done in small groups so it is very personal. Its very moving and I recommend it to everyone visiting NYC.

Emotional,a must see for every traveller.
Thu, May 1, 08   11:00 AM SButler7 Female 60-69 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My husband and I were struck by the emotion we felt once we entered the Museum, The pictures the photographer took told the devastating tragedy and terror of that terrible day in New York.You are given a phone to use as you walk around the room and listen to his words. The young man there on the day told a lovely story about one of the husband's arriving there to look at articles and in particular a piece of the plane that hit one of the buildings. His wife had been killed on that day as she was high up in one of the Towers. There were tears running down several peoples faces including my own............... It has been put together so well and anyone who is travelling to New york this is a must . We travelled from Australia and it was one of the "must do's" on our list, and we weren't disappointed. 9/11 was a terrible, terrible day in everyones life wherever one lives around the world . It has changed our lives forever and this very special Ground Zero Museum enabled my husband and I to spend time there to just look, feel and listen to what went on that day and try to feel in some small way what that terrible day meant to all those families involved. I would highly recommend taking the time to visit Ground Zero Museum Workshop. My husband and I will never forget it.................

WORKSHOP VERY TASTEFULLY DONE
Sat, Apr 26, 08   1:00 PM gmd622 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
MY SISTER AND I TOOK A DAY TRIP TO NYC TO ATTEND THE GROUND ZERO MUSEUM AND ALSO VISITED GROUND ZERO AND ST. PETER'S CHURCH AFTERWARDS. WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE MUSEUM. FIRST OFF, THE SIZE OF THE GROUP WAS VERY INTIMATE (WE HAD ABOUT ONLY 8 PEOPLE WHICH INCLUDED MY SISTER AND MYSELF) WHICH WE ENJOYED. THE TOUR GUIDE EVEN GREETED US AS WE GOT OFF THE ELEVATOR WHEN WE ARRIVED. COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THE MUSEUM CONSISTED OF ONLY ONE ROOM, HOWEVER, WE WERE THERE FOR 2 HOURS LISTENING TO THE PHOTOGRAPHER TELL THE STORY BEHIND EACH INCREDIBLE PHOTO THAT HE SNAPPED ON 9/11 AND DURING THE PAINFUL RECOVERY EFFORTS. I COULDN'T HELP BUT BREAK DOWN DURING A VIDEO PRESENTATION. THE ARTIFACTS WERE INCREDIBLE AND WE WERE EVEN ABLE TO HOLD A PIECE OF GLASS FROM THE WTC IN OUR HANDS. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO TAKE PICTURES IN THE MUSEUM WHICH I BROUGHT HOME TO SHOW MY FAMILY. IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE OVERLOOKED WHEN IN NYC. MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.
