Outstanding. Moving. Not to be missed.

It far exceeded my expectations. We were lucky in that the photographer conducted the tour and his descriptions and stories were utterly moving. We had tears in our eyes, but they were tempered by pride and, yes, joy that our country came through this stronger than ever. Everyone should see this.

what a tribute!

Even though I am not American you cannot come here and NOT be touched and moved by the displays at the Ground Zero Workshop Museum. It's not large, but it's very well thought out and even manages to show humorous moments as well as very sad stories to hear about. You will see photos, pieces of glass from the World Trade Center, you can even touch it! You will be given an audio guide with numbers on the items which will explain to you what they are and what they mean. Staff are available to help and answer questions. One of the highlights of my visit to New York!

The Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour was excellent and I highly recommend it. Mr. Gary Suson, the official photographer at Ground Zero, was present during our tour which was an extra plus. The photos are moving and the narration is extremely informative with a personal touch. The only possible downside is the location which is a little inconvenient. I had my mother with me who is in her upper 70's and the stairs were a little tough for her. No one offered her the use of the elevator.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Highly recommend it to EVERYONE

This event is an AWESOME experience. It made the whole 911 event so much real for me. I was in Atlanta when it happened and had to get home to Louisiana without air travel. All I could think about was getting home to my kids who were with my Mom while I was out town on business. My drama was nothing compared to the folks in NYC. The biggest impact to me from this workshop was the realization that after the news stories slowed down and the rest of the US and world went back to our daily lives, the rescue efforts continued for 9 months! I had no idea how long, how intense and how overwhelming it all was. Being so far away, it is just not easy to imagine the horror of it all. The families and the fathers and sons impacted along with the long lasting affects blow my mind. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to the workshop, but it was worth the effort to get there, the time away from "fun" stuff on vacation and the time spent inside listening and looking. I looked at and listened to every picture I could fit in to the almost 2 hours I was there. And I still didn't get through them all. I applaude Gary for his efforts in putting this together, for being present when we came to the workshop and all he is still doing for families impacted. Him being there was very special in that it made it so much more personal an event. His personal stories and input were invaluable. I will recommend this museum/workshop to everyone I talk to about my vacation. I've already started! The 2 friends I was traveling with had very similar thoughts and feedback. They were both tahnking me for finding out about the workshop and getting the tickets. All I can say is WOW! It was amazing!

Emotionally changed
Thu, Dec 6, 07   1:00 PM TeresaAPaul Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
We didn't know what we expected to find, but we found a reverend museum of expression for what occurred on 9/11. Talking to the photographer added a layer of more emotion we weren't expecting. To go here first and then to go to Ground Zero made the day emtionally draining, but definitely special. I think it is a very special museum. Thank you so much for offering it.

Non political. About the rescue effort and following year, Not about the event. Artistic. Sensitive. Extremely well done. Meet the ONLY photographer who was allowed into Ground Zero.

Fantastic insight to the pain suffered by so many
Sun, Dec 2, 07   1:45 PM dennis1959 Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
It was a real opportunity to see the other side of things not shown on the TV or documentries. It gave a great insight into the work, stresses, tears, and laughter of the people searching for remnants of thier loved ones.It was one of the highlights of our visit to New York.

Well worth the visit, so glad we went.
Sun, Dec 2, 07   1:45 PM vanquish Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
On the day we visited ( Sunday 2 Dec 2007) we were fortunate to have Gary Suson head up our tour. The room was smaller than I imagined but so much information and emotion came over during our time there. The tour was due to last 1.5 hours but 2 hours later we were still there. The pictures, audio comentary and artefacts that you're allowed to hold or see tell you so much you might never have known. Gary freely talked to us about his role as photographer and it's clear to see the whole experience has taken its toll but the results of his work are amazing. We'd already been to the ground zero site the day before and it wasn't at all what I expected. However this museum and Gary explained so many things and makes us feel that people will never forget the heroes of 9/11 as long as this museum is there. It's not on the normal "tourist" routes but well worth your time off the beaten track.

A very special and unique museum
Sun, Dec 2, 07   12:00 PM davidkirkham Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We were very fortunate to have Gary Suson himself as our tour guide. We are from The UK, and whilst we were not personally affected by the tragic events of September 11th, we have been touched by the emotion and stories ever since. On arrival you receive an audio headset full of stories narrated by Gary Suson. There are at least 100 exibits each telling their own story, which are both fascinating and sometimes very moving. If you have an interest in 9.11, for whatever reason, I would strongly recommend a visit to this very unique and special museum.

Heart catching!

We loved the museum. There is and will be no other like it. It is very tasteful and respectful to all that were involved in the disaster. If you have even begun to forget, this is a must for all. I thank Gary for the love it took to create a place to think and remember the days of and following the bombings. He was also very kind to talk to us, since we were so very lucky to meet him.

provided healing to the pain of the past
Sat, Dec 1, 07   11:30 AM jcooke Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
I have wanted to do something and know more of how to pray for the families and friends of victims. This was a wonderful tribute to our fallen heros and has given me a history lesson and a reminder of how good Americans are - deep down inside. The reverence provided to the victims, the support to the families, the memories shared all were done very tastefully and respectful of those gone and those remaining. I highly recommend this. it's an intimate setting where you can remember and not be jostled and shoved around as you are on the streets and in tourist attractions! REMEMBER and take you kids (recommend 9 or older) and tell them of the day we were attacked.

Ground Zero Museum Workshp Tour - Excellent
Sat, Dec 1, 07   11:30 AM jdmaylath Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We were lucky to have Gary Marlon Suson introduce the tour. He and Lou (the other FDNY fire fighter that hosted the tour that day) were very personable and willing to answer any and all questions. It's an intimate experience, and I'm glad they're keeping it that way. It was powerful to hear the various stories, see the artifacts, and remember the events of 9/11 and the years of recovery that have followed. Would publicze to future participants that this tour does NOT actually involve a visit to Ground Zero. Thanks. We enjoyed and appreciated the experience.

This tour was put together with an amazing amount of respect towards the families and victims. There is nothing else like this. I was moved by the pictures, artifacts, and stories. I want to go back to see and hear more. I HIGHLY recommend this!!
