ℳ𝒶𝓎♍September 7, 2016This is a very emotional place, be prepared for lots of intense emotions. The museum takes you through the entire day and mixes displays with media and artifacts in an elegant way.Upvoted Feb 28
Hani AlawadhiJune 10, 2014The museum is a must visit attraction in NYC. It takes you back to 9/11/2001 with a lot of details and stories told by witnesses who lived this tragedy.
TingJuly 30, 2015Beautifully done and powerful memorial to remember the victims who perished in 911 WTO tragedy. Gone are the 2 square towers, in its place 2 hollow square holes with water falling infinitely.

The informative movies are great and museum is worth seeing. FYI there is no pictures allowed in the in memoriam and historical exhibit. Other than that pictures are allowed.
Clifford RyanMay 30, 2014The Museum is respectfully awesome. Plan for at least 2 1/2 hours. Must purchase tickets prior to going. Be sure to arrive at the museum 10-15 minutes PRIOR to your entry time.
A tribute of remembrance and honor. Occupying eight of the 16 acres at the World Trade Center, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum are tributes to the past and a place of hope for the future.
Amazing 21st-Cent museum, made more poignant via interactive features, video, audio & salvaged every day items. Massive space - a sepulchre. Visit. Never Forget.
Christian ChewSeptember 23, 2014Open up your schedule when you plan to come (because you need to). You'll want to spend at LEAST 2.5 hours here to just take everything in. This place is deceivingly ENORMOUS.
Nadia ArkhipovaJanuary 27, 2015Beautiful place and a very touching exhibition inside the 9/11 museum. Don't miss "on the day, before and after" exhibition - we spent about 3 hours there.
- Ernie BelloJuly 27, 2015An overwhelming remembrance of the tragedy that happened, and a celebration of the courage that New Yorkers had coming together to help and support their own. Set aside at least 3 hours to go through.
Michelle CJuly 26, 2016Mandatory for anyone who lives in or visits the area. Incredibly moving. Save time getting inside by purchasing tickets in advance at a kiosk (there are a couple tucked away).
Tim RaymondSeptember 18, 2019Pack your headphones and download the app ahead of time. Renting the audio tour onsite requires an $8 fee and the impounding of your ID card as collateral. The app has the same audio tour content
Eli ShererOctober 13, 2015Do not rush through this. It will take an hour, two, maybe more for the museum. There is a lot of impact. Be ready for it. Kids should understand and be ready to take some time to explain.
HLApril 17, 2014A very impressing place. Prior online booking allows you to pass the long queue. Don't be lured by bracelet offered for donation: near the exit there's a visitor center with lots of merchandise.
Jonathan BrandonJuly 9, 2015My hotel room overlooks the 9/11 memorial. I worked in the Trade Center years ago and finally got up the courage to walk over. It's wonderful and everyone should visit it to remember and honor.
- Michael OhrJune 24, 2015Very moving, if you have time, check the museum as well. Plan at least 2 hours for it, you can also easily spend 3 or more in there
Gordon MeiJuly 27, 2014A pair of structural tridents from the base of the original 1 WTC tower are visible through the museum's glass atrium, by the north pool. The pools -- epic in scale and graceful especially after dusk.
Daniel DelgadoJanuary 26, 2015Very somber museum, tastefully designed and humbling. It is an excellent rememberance to the victims of the 9 / 11 tragedies. Godspeed to them all.
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014Hard to describe the feeling you have when you see the sheer scale of the two great, black pits before you, that were once the footprint of the WTC towers.
Hawk PangApril 7, 2016This memorial was incredible. With lots of artefacts and sound recordings from the day. I had hoped for a more positive ending to the exhibition - but it stays on the tragedy throughout.
A quiet place to reflect and remember, especially if you are old enough to remember the original towers. Take photos but be respectful.
The best designed and curated exhibition I've ever been to. The artefacts and stories will keep you immersed for hours.
Colleen GrimSeptember 28, 2013Breath taking,you walk up & every inch as you get close. U r in awe!!! God Bless America!Also note all the oak trees,not only do the set the footprint of the trade centers,they're there for a reason
Steven AndrophyFebruary 8, 2015An extremely moving (and crowded) museum. Buy your tickets online beforehand and don't be afraid to spend as long as you need inside--I recommend at least 3 hours.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019A very emotional exhibit. Anticipate investing at least two hours to truly experience the entire Memorial. There is also a self-guided tour you can download.
Lori CarlinSeptember 5, 2012Do yourself a favor and don't just walk up to the memorial and take a picture. Take a guided tour or something to allow yourself to feel. If you don't want to honor lives lost, stick to Times Square.
Wim MathuesMay 27, 2019A very impressive and even emotional tour around the disasters and victims of 9/11! The audio guide is 8 dollar (!) but did provide extra value and information during the museum tour!
Raymond CieloSeptember 29, 2015Unbelievable experience for me and my family. Schedule a visit if you can. It will move you. We reserved the 9am Sunday time slot for the museum. I am glad I did.
Oleg GaevoyMay 24, 2017One of touching places I've ever visited. There're always a lot of people but crowd of people keeps silent. Just beautiful, peaceful, and impressionable memorandum.
Christine SJune 29, 2015Beautiful pools outside. It was so serene to see all the names of such courageous Americans. I didn't go inside the visitation center or the Freedom Tower, but they were both awesome looking.
jansen cJune 26, 2016Give yourself at least three hours for this, it is an amazing museum and worth reading the details of the event. They have tissue paper inside each auditorium just in case if you feel emotional..
Scott KleinbergJuly 26, 2016This is an emotional place to be. You should go at least once -- everyone should. An important note: if you come here, please DO NOT take selfies in front of the memorials. Thousands died here.
Gabriel LouzaoAugust 21, 2014Tuesdays have free entrance after 5. The museum itself is huge and has lots of articles. Closes at 9, i got in at 6 and had to rush through some of the end exhibits.
Erik RowleySeptember 12, 2018It’s important to come and pay tribute to the memory of so many lives cut short. Very surreal to be standing at the site where the worst attack on American soil took place. The Memorial is incredible.
Stephanie 🎀September 11, 2012Remembering those dear ones who lost their lives, the first responders who worked tirelessly, & the military who stepped up to defend what we hold so dear. God Bless the USA
Sweta MohapatraNovember 29, 2014Take a seat at one of the benches near the Last Column. They have different first hand accounts from volunteers that are so poignant and amazing to listen to through a handheld speaker.
Julia ColosimoDecember 27, 2017Extremely crowded museum but a must see. Set aside lots of time and do not miss the timeline: the recorded messages, memories, and videos are fascinating and tragic.
IWalked Audio ToursSeptember 10, 2011The Memorial consists of two waterfalls created in the former foundations of the twin towers. The waterfall is surrounded by 400 trees. Design selected from over 5000 proposals. More info in our blog. Read more
Rachel WilsonMay 25, 2013People take pictures to remember. No one should forget or be cocky about such a tragic event. It's beautifully done, and the queue moves quickly. Don't complain about the queue; show respect.
Marwa☕️February 26, 2017Very emotional place, I enjoyed my time there , would be ranked as the best thing that i did while my visit in NYC 🇺🇸
Shn JuayJune 11, 2018Probably the saddest place I have visited, a good reminder to cherish what we have in life and to pay tributes to all the heroes and 911 victims
Tim BushnellMay 13, 2017A beautiful, sobering sight, the starkness of the memorial is reminiscent of the Vietnam war memorial in Washington DC
AndrewGroveSanAntonio GroveDecember 31, 2018Great experience, wonderful tribute. Would do it again. Lines are long be prepared to wait even if you bought a skip the line pass.
If you're going to the underground museum, Give yourself 5 hours. But tickets online , show up at your slotted time you'll be rewarded with no lines bring tissues. And they're supplied there too.
Ben GaspariniAugust 16, 2016Beautiful memorial especially the waterfalls at night. Try the World Trade Center observatory if the line isn't ridiculous.
KarenJanuary 6, 2018Warning: you will be overwhelmed with the gravity of September 11 and the horrible history surrounding it. It will make you upset and you will cry. But, you will also feel profound pride in America.
Rob CDecember 9, 2014Excellent exhibit! We spent 7 hrs here just looking at things. Tip: there are multiple videos at each station. Don't just watch one!
Rachel KAugust 25, 2014Snap a picture of a few names around the endless pool and pay tribute by finding their name and picture in the In Memorandum exhibit in the museum and send their picture to the inner chamber.

"I highly recommend visiting when there isn't a crowd (late night to 8am) to fully reflect. There is lots of security present and the area is under CCTV via the light posts"
Quintein - 9.3
"No matter your politics. A lot of people died in a terrible event. As memorials go, this was very nice and had an eerie calm born from respect of the visitors. Worth coming here"
