9/11 Memorial & Museum

This was such a humbling experience. I’m not a huge museum person, but this museum was very well done. It captured my attention and there was so much to see and do. I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday so this museum really hit hard since this happened in my lifetime. I spent around 3 hours here and was able to take my time going through the museum. This is definitely a must see when visiting NYC.

A truly beautiful place. Very sacred. Honoring those who lost their lives and loved ones that day. A very breathtaking monument. There was no wait time, and was minimally crowded. Highly recommended tourist spot for sure. (Went October 28,2023)

The entire memorial and museum was extremely emotional. It was very surreal seeing the reflection pools and having a chance to read the names of those lost.

I decided to go into my current industry because of the events on 9/11, so seeing the museum was very surreal for me and helped reinforce my desire for public service.

I was very impressed with how well some of the equipment (damaged on 9/11) was maintained and preserved.

Definitely plan a few hours to truly spend in the museum to make your time worth. And pack your patience. There were so many people everywhere!

When visiting New York City, a visit to the 9/11 Memorial is an absolute must. This memorial left an indelible mark on my heart and soul, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

From the moment you approach the site, you are met with a sense of reverence and solemnity. The Twin Tower Memorial, with its twin reflecting pools inscribed with the names of the victims, is a breathtaking tribute that captures the magnitude of the tragedy that took place on September 11th, 2001.

Walking alongside the pools and reading the names etched into the bronze panels was an emotional and humbling experience. It humanized the immense loss and reminded me of the importance of cherishing every moment in life. The cascading water and serene atmosphere created a peaceful space for reflection and remembrance.

The accompanying museum is a must-visit as well. It provides an in-depth and sensitive exploration of the events of 9/11, offering a profound insight into the impact and aftermath of the tragedy. The exhibits, artifacts, and personal stories are curated with care and respect, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of this pivotal moment in history.

The overall atmosphere of the memorial, coupled with its educational value, makes it an exceptional place to pay tribute to the victims and learn from the past. The staff members were knowledgeable and compassionate, further enhancing the experience.

If you're ever in New York City, the 9/11 Memorial is an essential stop. It serves as a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the importance of unity in the face of adversity.

America Will Never Forget 9/11/2001. The area is well lit, very clean, and well designed in honor of those who lost their lives here. Its beautiful design compliments the open area. The museum is a must see. Makes you think how steel that thick could melt.

I found it incredibly beautiful and moving to witness. The concept of the unfilled void, dedicated to honoring the deceased, is deeply poignant. Being there evokes a profound sense of peace and reflection. A must-see in New York, as it encapsulates a tragic yet significant aspect of history.

The musea is een must to see.

This place is so beautiful! Such a great way to pay tribute to the Hero’s and all who made sacrifices on this day. Get your tickets in advance, the lines were extremely long. We went on a Saturday. Also, be aware that some exhibitions you will not be able to take pictures. Recommend you get the audio tour, it explains a lot of what happened in the events leading up to and some of the exhibition’s if you want to go in detail.

The 9/11 Memorial Museum left me profoundly moved and reflective after my visit. The sheer magnitude and beauty of the place are immediately striking. The museum is impressively large and thoughtfully designed to commemorate the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Wandering through the museum, it prompts deep contemplation about the profound impact of that day. The exhibits skillfully convey the enormity of the tragedy, offering a space for reflection on the lives lost and the indelible mark left on history.

The design of the memorial is poignant, creating a solemn atmosphere that pays homage to the victims. The incorporation of roses and images of those who perished adds a personal touch, allowing visitors to connect with the human stories behind the tragedy.

The experience was overwhelming, invoking a range of emotions as I grappled with the gravity of what transpired. Facts about 9/11 were presented in a way that invited thoughtful consideration of the historical significance, leaving a lasting impression. The 9/11 Memorial Museum stands as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of tragedy, and it's an essential visit for anyone seeking to understand and honor this pivotal moment in history.

This museum is a must see during any NYC trip. You can see and feel what happened on the tragic day in 2001. Everything is presented with honor and respect to those who paid the ultimate price. I would allot atleast 2 hours of time, if not more to tour this museum. I did a self guided tour and not the guided one. Some areas do not allow photography. You can buy ticket online or at the ticket counter. Can pay cash or credit. Very close to the stock exchange also. The heart of the world.

Highly recommend visitors from other countries to visit the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. Absolutely insightful and well curated exhibition within.

Staff were very helpful, and also have a free coat check.

this was such an incredible, interesting museum. The respect they have towards the victims and their family members speaks volumes. They don’t allow photos taken in certain zone which is the zones with the most impact photos. They are on top of you and have an eye on everyone. I teared up a lot and was emotional. I spent about 3 hours total reading everything detailed. I recommend it 1000% to everyone.

Very respectfully quiet and sombre around the memorial. No traffic. I felt really emotional when I first arrived. The design of the memorial itself, I thought, is very poignant and thought provoking.
It was one place we both felt we had to visit when in NYC, and I'm glad we did. Definitely a must see if you're in NYC.

It's a very beautiful place and a great abode to the tragedy that happened on 9/11. It was really inspiring the heroic tales of first responders and the people, and how things that were destroyed in the attack were preserved in the museum. The memorial is a clean and amazingly well kept place. Spend time - 2-3 hours.

Every American needs to visit this memorial. Very humbling and emotional, sacred place. Never forget those who lost their lives that day. Always in our hearts and minds. Rest in Paradise. Sept 11. 2001.

Wonderful place to visit! It's not set up very well (you have to back track to see displays). I would recommend everyone to visit the museum if possible!
The only issue in the museum is there is not enough benches or places to sit.

As expected, this is a very emotional and even difficult exhibit to experience. As I was moving through and touching the memories of that day, it was difficult to believe that it was 22 years ago. The museum evokes such strong remembrances that it feels incredibly like it was only days ago.

The museum has done a nice job of pulling together together photos, video, audio, and artifacts that truly capture the personal stories of 9/11 not only from the perspective of NY, but Washington and Pennsylvania as well.

Its a huge museum that you need a lot of time for. We spent four hours and it wasnt enough to take it all in. It almost feels like the kind of place that you need to visit multiple times as it can be very overwhelming to the emotions as you take in each piece. The videos offered are also quite well done and worth seeing.

May none of us ever forget that this is a memorial...a tribute...to the thousands of innocents who lost their lives on this gentle autumn day so many years ago. The story continues to be one of bravery and heroism amid unthinkable terror and tragedy. I pray that all of those families impacted continue to know the heartfelt compassion of the world as they grieve for loved ones who did not come home.

All in all, the memorial and the museum are tasteful tributes that remind those of us who live that we should be savoring the blessing of each passing day in the richest way possible.

The 9/11 Memorial is a profoundly moving tribute to the lives lost. The serene atmosphere and the powerful design create a solemn yet impactful experience. It's a must-visit to pay respects and reflect on the resilience of the human spirit in the face of tragedy. A poignant reminder of the importance of unity and remembrance.

This is an amazing, amazing memorial to a tragic day.
It's very difficult not to be emotionally affected here.
The reflecting pool memorials to the 'Twin Towers' is terribly emotional. However, the 9/11 Museum...
I'm sure I would be hard-pressed to find someone not affected by the pictures, the videos, the stories, the voices.
Truly a heart-wrenching tour.
Beautiful buildings, great interiors, wonderful artifacts, a very thoughtful layout.
I will be going back.
And I cannot wait to do so!

Wow. This museum & memorial truly moved me. I was just a baby when this horrific incident in New York happened. This museum is extremely educational and has so many well done exhibits to explain everything that happened on 9/11. My favorite exhibit was a memorial to the victims. It showed everyone’s photos along with quotes and who they were as a person and what their passions were. It gets very busy so I recommend buying tickets ahead of time online. The museum is extremely popular so expect it to be busy when you go! We were pretty much on top of people when we went. Other than that, it was a phenomenal tribute put on by the state of New York to honor those whose lives were lost and changed on 9/11.

Despite the painful memory of September 11th, and the painful feelings it brings to the United States of America and the entire world, the state of New York has turned this painful memory into a tourist attraction, and to this day it has become one of the most important tourist centers in New York. It is the memorial to the memory of September 11.
The memorial center contains the names of the people who died in the accident, and there is also an exhibition containing the remaining items, which bear traces of the destruction to which the building was exposed. In addition, there is a comprehensive display of the famous accident, and this is available to all visitors who wish to learn more about the graphic details of the accident. .
In September 11 Memorial Square, a huge basin was built, containing a wonderful fountain, enabling visitors to take the most wonderful pictures with it, so do not miss this distinguished visit.
