Moving experience - This was fantastic, and very moving. The walking guide was great, and the museum is a can’t miss attraction of NYC. Definitely worth the time to learn more about this time in our history.

Peaceful - South Tower Pool New York. This was so serene. Standing here brought a sense of calmness. Did not do a tour, just walked to the location. Although there were so many people present observing, everyone was respectful and quiet. What an experience. Worth it.

Very Moving Experience. - It was a 4 hour tour but it was definitely worth it. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and he covered every possible aspect of the occurrences of 9/11. It was a long talk and I think some seating should have been available for the less mobile people. However, we proceeded on to the Museum which was outstanding. We spent about 2 and a half hours there but only saw a fraction of it. Congratulations to the organisers who have done a wonderful job with the museum. We had a memorable day, and the sun really shone upon us, with a clear blue clarity and the blessed warmth of 26 degrees!

We booked a 90 min tour of the 9/11 Grounds with Experience First. Well worth tour before going to the memorial. - We had Marc, a knowledgeable New Yorker from Brooklyn. We met up with him at the steps to Saint Paul’s Chapel… we went to different sights where he explained to us what happened in the area… I would recommend people do this tour prior to entering the memorial. It helps to understand what happened on that terrible day.

Sobering Experience - The 9/11 Museum itself is built atop the footprint of the South Tower. It wends its way through the day of 9/11/01, starting w/ views of the Twin Towers and progressing through the day. There are numerous mementos, including personal effects from the planes and towers; a police cruiser; and two fire trucks. Besides the pictures, the moment-by-moment voice/visual experience of the plane crash in Pennsylvania was very emotional for me, as well, as the structure signed by rescue personnel and the stairwell used by many of those who escaped from the tower. I had to skip the room filled w/ pictures of the victims. My daughter noticed that no where in the museum was it pointed out that folks jumped to their deaths from the towers. IDK how this is too much to handle when other horrific items were displayed, such a crushed helmet worn by a firefighter.... I also was amazed at how SMALL the footprint of the towers was, compared to the enormous height of the buildings. It's not a fun museum to visit, but an important one. #nohate

Teens loved it too! - My four teens and I really enjoyed Jim’s storytelling and style. It was a very special educational experience for American teens who were born after that fateful day.
