Very touching! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Fri, Oct 9 11:00 AM	DougCampbell	Female	30-39	International Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
We were on our first visit to New York City and this museum was on the top of our list of things to do. It was well worth attending. We came out of the museum feeling very touched by everything that we saw.

The size fo the display was very appropriate for portraying the impact of the 9/11 attack on individuals.
Not to be missed Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

My husband & I are visiting NY from Melbourne, Australia and like all Australian's we were effected by the events of 9/11 and wanted to see the site and learn a little more about it. The museum/workshop is unique and we were lucky enough to be there on a day when Gary was there which made it even more touching for us. The photographs and artifacts were incredible and although the visit atmosphere was one of extreme sadness and horror you still feel a sense of closeness and an enormous bonding with everyone. I think if I had lost a loved one on 9/11 I would feel a sense of peace and comfort. It must have been an incredible situation for Gary but all his photographs and artifacts are shown with such high regard and respect for every situation and person involved. I was moved to tears by some of the touching moments, as was my husband, but when we left we didn't feel depressed, we didn't speak about it for some time, but we both were very glad that we had visited the museum/workshop. I purchased the book and Gary was kind enough to sign it for me and I will treasure it for always. It will stand pride of place in a special place in my home in Melbourne. Thank you for allowing us to share this with you.
This was the best activity we did in New York!!!!! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

We went to New York for our Mother's birthday and did all the tourist attractions. I some how before our trip stumbled on this. It looked great so we bought our tickets online. When we got there you instantly realized that this was going to be a very sad day. I cried just watching the introductory video. We were lucky enough to be there when the photogropher Gary was there. He seemed like a very humble man. The pictures were taken so tastefully that you felt like you were not being voyers, but understanding how hard the recovery process was for all involved. The stories that go with each photo will live in me for the rest of my life. I purchased the coffee table book and after we visited ground zero we went to a pub right around the corner called Ohara's. I was looking throught the book I had just purchased and the bartender stopped and asked where I got it. I told him and he asked to look at it. In one of the pictures there was a missing person flyer with a firefighter made by his fiance. Steve the bartender came running over to our table and said, "Thats my best friend Joe!" He was amazed that he had such a strong feeling to stop and ask me to borrow the book when he was tending a busy bar, and then there was Joe. He told us stories about that horrible 9/11 day and we shared stories we had just seen in your workshop. Steve said he was going to go to this workshop, he had never even heard of it until now. He went to call his wife and ran over to us and said he opened his phone and it was 3:43pm, the number of firefighters that died that day. The workshop really made the experience more than just going to ground zero, it made us never forget the men and women who died there. I was so touched that by the end of the trip I bought a FDNY sweater that I proudly wear in my home town in California, and I understand more what that means. Thanks Gary for such a memorable experience!
very good Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

We enjoyed it very much. The pictures and the stories with them put a face to what happened. It made it more then just a story on the news. We will remember what happen and what the people did for each other. The pictures were very good. You could get a feel of what the were doing, and how much emotion was running thru them at that time. The tour was good, but we felt like we could have been given the headphones and walked around on our own. We did not know that you had to go at the time of a tour. We had walked over to the museum at 11:00am (that is when the sign said it opened). Then we had to call and make reservations for a tour later that day.
meaningful and worthwhile Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

The Ground Zero Museum is a tough place to be...but important and valuable. The space is small and personal. The photos and items available to see...and in some cases, touch...will give you a firsthand sense of what happened, the power of the collapse of the Twin Towers, the incredible loss, and the healing process. The experience is an emotional one. Gary Suson was the official photographer for the Ground Zero recovery efforts. It is clear that he undertook that role with a great deal of honor and integrity. The small sanctuary he has created in NYC is well worth two hours of your day.
Well done and thought provoking Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

I treasure the time I spent in the Ground Zero Museum. I could have stayed another hour listening to the voices telling of their impressions on that day in 2001. I come from a family with three firefighters as close relatives so it was especially memorable to me. Your heart went out to the families just the same as when we watched it on TV on 9/11/01. Tears running down our faces that day and many, many more days as the stories of the dead surfaced. Some of the "behind the scenes" stories we will never forget. All those families that lost a mother or a father that horrible day. This was my first visit to New York. I am so happy one from our group encouraged us to buy tickets in advance for the Ground Zero Museum. I hadn't planned on doing much shopping in New York but was bound & determined what shopping I did would be items purchased at your location. Later that day someone in Battery Park noticed I was carrying a Ground Zero Museum shopping bag & commented on it. I will happily tell anyone I know going to New York that they will not regret a visit to Ground Zero Museum.
Emotional & Informative Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

This is a MUST see on your trip to New York!! The museum is small and intimate. There is alot of information shared, from the photographer that captured emotion, 7 devistation. You even get to touch a few peices of steel made as a cross that was given to all the family members that lost a loved one on 9/11 It's emotional so bring tissues!!!

Reverent Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Mon, Sep 28 12:00 PM	b1macsd	Female	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
Being from the central midwest, I am definitely not used to large cities and congested roads and walkways. As a "country bumpkin", I felt humbled and reverent in the walls of the museum. I fluctuated back and forth on whether I wanted to even go to see Ground Zero and this museum. I had seen so much on television and still couldn't believe that our USA was actually attacked. I guess the biggest thing I felt after going through the information and DVD introduction was that I had paid my respects to the many people who had paid with their lives and those that had worked so diligently trying to save and recover them.
Disappointed Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Sep 26 3:00 PM	Donegan	Male	60-69	International Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
I think we were expecting to see many more pictures and many larger pictures. They take you into this room not larger than the average livingroom - diningroom combination and have you take a seat facing a 42" TV screen and you watch a movie from a CNN TV broadcast about the owner of the studio who took the pictures. Because of the people sitting in front of you, you can't even see the screen without shifting to look between people. The audio descriptions of the individual pictures was good. I don't know how this museum got so many rave reviews on Trip Advisor.

A Respectful Tribute Capturing True Emotions Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Sep 26 11:00 AM	clean52	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
It was a very moving & emotional experience, especially being a member of the world-wide fire family. The museum setting provided a very peaceful, serene & healing environment. The pictures & artifacts truly captured the heartfelt emotions while honoring & respecting all involved. I enjoyed the individual hand-held devices to be able to set your own pace. Thank you for preserving such an important part of our history.
Excellent small, intimate collection Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Sep 26 11:00 AM	jkloni	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
I read about this little museum on tripadvisor.com. A friend and I were visiting NYC and decided to come. They limit the tour to 20 - we had 12 at the 11am Saturday tour. It's a large room filled with pictures taken and items recovered from the World Trade Center site by the only official photographer of the FDNY. Your tour guide gives you some information, then you watch a video narrated by Gary Suton. You are given headsets that allow you to roam the room and listen to the information or stories by pressing in the appropriate number that is tagged to each piece. I think the actual pieces found intrigued me more than the pictures. A business card, a box of matches from Top of the World, a shoe (could have come from one of the stores). A clock with its time stopped at 10:02:14 - the exact time one of the towers fell. Our tour guide was knowledgable and excellent. (She doesn't actually tour you around the room - you do that yourself.) Her commentary was moving and it was easy to become emotional. It's pretty somber - but I'm glad I went. It was very interesting. Just don't come expecting some large involved tour and rooms of stuff. It's an intimate look at his work. They only show approx. 60 people a day. You are allowed to take pictures of every exhibit - except one. I hear that Gary (the photographer who took the pictures and put the museum together) is sometimes there. I'd go back to talk to him.
