The movie was like to watch cbs news at home Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

I was expecting more than I could see there. More action, different, more than I've seen on tv in 2001. The pictures are great, I liked to see some stuff but the movie didn't show more than I could watch on tv. The girl who works there is envolved and very polite, so, I am disapointed but it's ok, I enjoyed my time. About Zerve: you are so good , everything about the tickets and the informations about local, hour, etc. was ok. Next time, if I need to go to any place , I certainly will contact you. And you be sure that I will recommend you for all my friends in Brasil. Thank you very much for your help and attention, I really appreciated that. Regards, Myriam Pereira

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the museum. Like the rest of the world, we watched the horror of September 11th through the eyes of the media. This exhibit helped me to absorb and process the impact of the disaster - providing me with a insight and closure which I would never had without visiting.

This workshop / museum allowed us to process through the events of 9/11. I am not sure we took time to do this as a couple prior to this date. I was once again reminded of the tragedy and the heroism of our country faced. I would greatly recommend you visit to process through the events of 9/11 in a tangible manner.

The exhibit was presented in such a way that every person who visits will have some type of personal moving experience. The personal setting of the entire room kept the focus on the exhibit and it's importance. Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to visit. It was definatley one of the highlights of our visit to New York City.

A Spiritual and Emotional Experience Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Thu, Jun 25, 09 1:00 PM	DonnaFPope	Female	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
My friend and I went to the museum not knowing what to expect; however, we knew that while in New York we had to go there. She is a retired United Airlines flight attendent, and she wanted to pay her respects to her lost comrades. The museum is an amazing educational display of that fateful day and its aftermath. Gary Suson has done an outstanding job of sharing his experiences with the public and survivors of those lost on September 11, 2001. His photographs and narration gave a first hand explanation of what happened that fateful day and the months to follow. The museum is well organized, and each artifact tells a story. We were particularly moved by the page from Genesis 11 and the story of the Tower of Babel. We spent two hours at the museum listening to Gary's narration and viewing every photo and article on display. The next day we went to the World Trade Center site and watched construction workers build the new buildings. We were so glad we had gone to the museum first. As we watched the work in progress, we visualized what had taken place eight years ago. A visit to St. Paul's Church was also an emotional experience after we had heard Gary's stories and seen his photos about the work that went on inside the church to provide a place of rest for weary firemen, policemen, and volunteers. Every American should visit the Ground Zero Museum and St. Paul's. We truly understand why we must never forget what happened that day to take away our world as we knew it. Things have never been the same and never will again. We thank God for people like Gary Suson who will keep this information there for the public and the survivors to see and hear.
A must see! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

While filled with personal stories of loss from the tragedy itself, we were moved by the fact that the museum felt more like a tribute to the recovery workers. No photos of the tragedy (which many of us have seen over and over) but rather photos and stories of the men and women who spent months tirelessly working to recover their loved ones or the loved ones of others. This was one of the best and most worthwhile things we did in the city!
Well worth the money! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

A friend of mine recommended the Ground Zero Workshop and said it was a must see. She was right. It is very small and intimate, and that is what makes it so great!
Very informative and respectful Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Tue, Jun 23, 09 1:00 PM	lakewoodliz	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
Very well thought out, carefully put together, and really made going to the WTC site much more meaningful. At the actual site you cannot see much with all the barricades and draped fencing around the perimeter. It was almost impossible to figure out where the buildings once stood even though we had visited them several times in the past. We did not see written stories or many displays around this very active construction site. My group did not lose a loved one on 9/11, yet really appreciated the opportunity as fellow Americans, to spend special time learning more about that day, entering the time zone of 9/11 and feeling more a part of it, touching a bit of it, and paying respect to all those our hearts have poured out to over the past 8 years. There are comfortable sofas for anyone who wants or needs to sit and view the pictures and artifacts from them and listen to an audio tape explaining each one. The room was small enough that someone sitting on the sofas or in a wheelchair would have adequate access to the pictures/memorabilia mainly hanging on the walls. There were individual audio units to listen to stories about each of the 100+ exhibits. If you are hearing impaired, the video is not captioned and the audio players are not conducive even to those with mild losses. They are not set up with telecoil/induction loop/infra red systems, but you can request a written transcript which is very helpful. If this is the case, I would advise extra time which you might be allowed if you are the last session of the day (1pm?) (that's what we did so my hearing impaired daughter had more time to read the transcript). Dress cool in the summer months as it gets a bit warm in that room, and I highly recommend visiting this wonderful exhibit if you can.
well worth the visit Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

I'm glad I checked out this gem whilst in New York. I was only young when 9/11 happened, but recently I've felt compelled to go there and pay my respects. This tour was informative and in good taste. The guide was very approachable, and only too happy to answer any questions that we had. I would definitely stop by again on my next trip to New York, and I'll be recommending it to any of my friends that visit NYC.

Better than visiting Ground Zero itself Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

When you first walk into the Ground Zero Museum Workshop, you're not sure if you just wasted your money. That's because it's very small with lots of pictures you may have seen before. But, once you put the headphones on for the audio tour, you realize there's a fascinating story behind each one of these pictures. We went to the actual Ground Zero site the day after, and it was nowhere near as descriptive, emotional, or interesting as this little museum. Definitely make this a stop if you're interesting in 9/11. My mom and I went together and we couldn't stop talking about all of the stories. Although the subject matter is obviously heavy, the museum focuses on hope and remembrance. It's easy to brush the events aside or to not remember the actual lives that were effected. Once we remove ourselves from the emotional connection to the people involved in the event, we desensitize ourselves. That's a scary place to be. People, not buildings, planes, and terrorists, were involved in 9/11 - people with names, families, and lives. Don't forget them!
Speechless! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

Hard to describe in words. There is so much to take in that it takes a couple days to process it all. This Museum is put on by the official photographer for the World Trade Center site. They only allowed one person to take photographs. Gary has definitely put his heart into this and you get to see so many of the courageous men and women who gave their lives for the benefit of others. They use the proceeds to help families who have lost loved ones and also to help pay for medical bills of the workers who helped clean up the site that now are having medical problems from the fumes that they were exposed to. One of the best things to do in NYC hands down!
Can't Miss this Memorial! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sun, Jun 21, 09 12:00 PM	lorimiles	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
This one site, this one memorial, this one intimate setting was all I needed to experience a small piece of 9/11. My sister, my 9yr old son, and I had no idea what we were about to experience the day was visiting Ground Zero Workshop. We were on vacation and had second thoughts about anything entitled "workshop", especially 2 hours. We had a pack that we would bail out after an hour. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect to experience such emotions, sorrow, intimacy with the victims families, rescue workers, let alone, meet Gary Susson himself. I was so filled with emotion that I could barely speak, I just patted him on the back and walked away. The photos, this special place SHOULD NOT BE MISSED AND WAS TRULY THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR VISIT TO NEW YORK. That same day, we visited the actual site as well as St. Paul's Chapel but I have to say, nothing compared to our experience at the Ground Zero Workshop. When we returned to Sacramento, we met a couple who had traveled to New York and had visited the museum. We all shared a secret, it felt like, a commonality that brought us all closer to that tragic day. Our experience will never be forgotten...
Excellent and Presented with Sensitivity Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sun, Jun 21, 09 12:00 PM	ronjonpub	Male	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
This excellent museum was a highlight of our visit to the city, tastefully and thoughtfully presented, and worthwhile to increase one's understanding of the incident aftermath. While many of us saw the tragedy happen in real time, the clean-up was only seen in bits and pieces due to the lengthy time involved. Gary helped bring closure to all that. One bit of confusion... I could not figure out why you call it a "workshop." Please note that after a lifetime of developing, producing, and presenting workshops, the visit to your facility was just not a workshop. I almost skipped the visit due to the fact that I did not want to be in a traditional "workshop" setting. Also note that my comment should not in any way be construed as a negative. This is a worthwhile stop for anyone. Thanks.
