A moving experience for the whole family Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Dec 22, 07 4:30 PM	eal5061	Female	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
Wonderful experience for the whole family. My 5 year old son was intrigued by listening to all the stories and having such vivid photos and displays. Gary was there during our trip and he was wonderful, he was very informative, compasionate and caring. My son learned so much from him. This was a great experience for anyone, it is a true story in the pages of history.
A very reverent reminder of that fateful day. Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Dec 22, 07 1:00 PM	Sam111	Male	50-59	Local	Family Without Children
As a member of the Corps family, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to provide assistance to the NY District, USACE in November 2001. As it turns out, it was around the same time that Gary began taking photos of the recovery. While I never worked or was at the recovery site, I worked only a few blocks away. The smell in the air became imprinted in my memory along with the other sites and sounds. When I walked into the Ground Zero Museum Workshop all of the memories came flooding back along with the tears of that fateful day. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to see how Gary had documented what took place, and to meet and thank him for what he had done for all of us. It is through his work that we will never forget that day.
Very Disappointed Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Fri, Dec 21, 07 1:00 PM	JKELLY39	Male	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Couple on a Date
To much hype on this one... First of all I had to pay $42.00 for 2 tickets and I had to book it in advance? There was 6 people in my group. I had to wait on the 1st floor of this bldg for another tour to finish. While I was waiting, there were people taking fresh meat in boxes past me, not very sanitized. After waiting 15 minutes, while they tell you to be on time, I finally made it to the workshop. The workshop which is roughly a 15X20 room did have some very interesting pictures and objects from Ground Zero. I was expecting a "guided tour", instead I was given a headset and was told to put a number in this audio device and it told me a story about each item. I was not even able to watch the video that they talk about. You were not allowed to take a picture of a window from one of the planes, why not? at another museum you are allowed. To me, this is just an opportunity for someone to make money off of the tragic events of September 11th. He is mentioned about being an Honorary Battalion Chief with the FDNY and he uses it a lot, he was not even a firefighter, he was appointed this back in 2004 because his work at Ground Zero. For some people, they think he actually worked for the FDNY, he did not. The 9/11 tribute at the Fireman's Museum and the WTC Visitors Center Museum were better then this one and it only cost a donation of $10.00.
Excellent experience Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

My sister (age 39) and daughter (age 19) also thought this was the best part of our trip to NYC. The museum is thoughtful and respectful. I felt like the experience seemed therapeutic. Gary is an awesome photographer and narrator. I bought his book and although it is a horrible event, the book is written and put together beautifully. Gary is also a really nice guy. Lou, our tour guide, was fantastic as well. I honestly can say nothing negative about my experience. I am telling anybody who will listen to me that if they travel to NYC, to definitely check it out!
A great insight to a tragic event Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Mon, Dec 17, 07 12:00 PM	shanab	Female	20-29	International Tourist(s)	Individual
This is a must-visit museum with beautiful stories and interesting artifacts. You can hold history in your hands. My only criticism is that it felt as though it had religious undertones to it and so if this bothers you, you might need to be able to seprate the event from this.
Excellent and emotional collection! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

Highly emotional tour Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

A very sensitive and moving tribute. Everyone was touched during their time at the museum. Would recommend that those with small children refrain as it is intended to be an evironment for quiet reflection.
A Beautiful Rememberance of those lost on 9/11 Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Dec 15, 07 11:30 AM	DebraJJones	Female	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
I wasn't sure what to expect from this tour but hoped that it was respectful, meaningful and offered a sense of peace vs. a sense of reliving the nightmarish day all over again. It was all that and more. The setting provided a very soothing envrironment in which you could be comfortable crying, praying or simply remembering. It offered an incredible insight into the lives of those who were directly affected, particularly the firefighters of NYC. I didn't feel as if I was intruding in their stories but rather I was able to find a better appreciation than ever before for their incredible sacrifices. I highly recommend this tour to anyone - whether you lost someone on 9/11 or not. I did not and am forever grateful for that. Thank you for letting me get to know these incredible heroes.
Don't Let The Size Fool You Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

The photos were amazing and the museum guides were very knowledgeable. Gary Suson is a remarkable photographer and story teller.
awesome/incredible Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Dec 15, 07 11:30 AM	heatherbland	Female	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
What a moving, tastefully done experience. the employees are warm and knowledgable and the owner/artist was kind and very interested in our experience. i would recommend this to anyone. My only negative thought is that there should be no babies/small children allowed. Even though I have small ones- I did not take them and the presence of even the best behaved ones there detracted from the experience. i think minimum age of 8 or 10 for sure. Otherwise, this was the best thing I did in NYC- topping the Met, ballet, broadway, ground zero and foodie tour.
Over-commercialism of a tragic event Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Thu, Dec 13, 07 11:30 AM	fredcu	Male	70+	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
It seemed to us that the photographer has taken advantage of his position to do some very unattractive self-promotion. Much silliness here--kleenex boxes to absorb the tears which the slick film clips were designed to bring, forbidding the picture-taking of a piece of an aircraft because " a piece had been cut off by the heroic photographer and given to a grieving person" Everything just too "slick" for me. The solicited tears appeared to be the prelude to sale of the shirts and souveniers. Why this location? Why not at ground zero? Our visit to St. Pauls Chapel was much more meaningful to us- made this activity unnecessary and in bad taste.
An event that we will remember for ever. Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Thu, Dec 13, 07 11:30 AM	DCherry	Male	60-69	International Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
We knew it would be memorable from the previous reviews but nothing can prepare you for the 2 hours that you spend with Gary. The film footage is particularly emotional and we now understand the need for the boxes of tissues placed around the room. The tour of the images and artifacts is very professionally presented, please take time and try to see & hear them all. Don't be afraid to shed a tear. And please buy the book "Requiem". We did and will one day hand it to our Grandchildren to help them understand how the world changed forever on 9/11.
TASTEFUL and MOVING Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Tue, Dec 11, 07 11:30 AM	holbeach	Female	60-69	International Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
I, along with three of my girlfriends from the UK, visited the museum on Dec 11th 2007. We were not at all certain what to expect, hoping it would not dwell on the morbid. Our main purpose was to pay our respects to all those who lost their lives on Sept 11th, also to their families and friends. We need not have been concerned. From the moment we rang the bell, we were warmly welcomed by Lou, who gave the talk, also Gary Suson himself who happened to be at the museum that day. We appreciated the ability to absorb the exhibits in our own time. The hand held commentary devices were ideal. We found the entire experience to be moving and a great testimonial to the ultimate love and comradeship of the "first responders" Thank you Gary
Too much emphasis on the photographer. Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Mon, Dec 10, 07 12:00 PM	sqweeny	Female	30-39	International Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
This exhibition has the potential to be very interesting. However, there is way too much emphasis on the photographer Gary Suson. The museum seems to be more about him than Ground Zero. The stories are quite schmaltzy and it is almost easy to forget what a horrific event this actually was. In addition, there were some silly rules, like not being able to photograph the part of the aircraft yet being able to photograph everything else. There were some interesting stories like the beer cans and the dogs.
Outstanding Opportunity Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

Please make every effort to attend this museum if you are visiting New York. The program was amazingly put together and brought you much closer to events which impact America and each of us as individuals. Please do not miss this opportunity!
