Great, interactive tour. You are provided with a set of bose headphones and over 100 exhibits to ponder at and listen to the photographer's story behind their meaning and significance. It was quite moving, especially the section about the dogs that helped out. The biggest piece of glass found within ground zero is here, and its quite incredible to look at!

I received confirmation for this trip on my phone, and assumed since there is only one 911 Memorial, there was only one tour. When time approached for the tour, four friends plus myself, took the subway from our hotel to Ground Zero and got in line to get our tickets. It was there we learned our voucher was for an entirely different tour, that required us taking a subway several blocks and for which we were already late. We opted to stay at the Memorial and take the tour there. The GZMWT called me and was very understanding, offering to reschedule for the following day. That option sounded best until we realized our last and final day of our short weekend trip would be spent at another study of Ground Zero. We opted to skip the rescheduled tour in order to take in some different sights. I telephoned GZMWT and Gary was extremely cordial and offered to mail me the gift they provided, even though we would not be attending. Maybe on a subsequent trip we will have opportunity to experience the GZMWT.

The Ground Zero Museum Workshop space was much smaller than expected. In about 1000 sq.ft. of space it had an amazing collection of exclusive photos taken during the clean-up of the ground zero devastation. Each photo was accompanied by a moving audio description of the image by the photographer. The space also included a number of artifacts found at the site. We did not know what to expect before visiting the Museum but found it to be an engaging and moving experience.

Absolutely outstanding. Very informative and a true reflection of what happened after the event. Real life stories. Extremely moving. A definitive must. Highly highly recommended.

Don't bother. It's no where near the memorial site. It's a small room full of photographs, most of which are in the official museum. It was all rather awkward and uncomfortable and amateurish to be frank.

We had a wonderful experience at the Ground Zero Museum. The young man running the tour was a pleasure and we enjoyed being able to appreciate and pray for all of our FDNY service men and women who did such an important job on that horrific day. We are humbled by their great losses and heroism.

I visited here in August 2016. We had visited the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and the 9/11 Tribute Centre but this was a completely different experience. The girl working the day we went was very welcoming and professional. We arrived about 15 minutes after the start time and didn't think we would be let in but she was very accommodating and even let us have extra time at the end so that we were able to see everything. I cannot praise her highly enough. I would definitely recommend this workshop.

Very interesting, was good to hear the story of how things unfolded and what it meant to so many people and how people helped . Sad but worthwhile.

A location a little hard to locate prior to 1100 am as no outside advertising till 10.45, being a 2nd floor attraction. Over 100 items of interest, on head phone recording by the FDNY official photographer. 1 1/2 tour could have stayed longer to complete listenings, Value for money on my part

Lots of photos and items packed into a very small room, with an audio explanation of each item. Very interesting and moving. Need to allow about two hours for the full audio tour. Near to Chelsea Market and the High Line.

Probably the most impressive photo museum ever. The actual photographer was present the day of our tour and his stories and photos were electrifying. This tour os a MUST for anyone wanting to pay tribute to those that died on 911.

Fine little museum with a big story
Review by: Patricia C, September 2015
I was a bit disappointed with this tour having read the reviews. The museum itself is 1 very small room and the guide we had - to be honest - really didn't do anything. We were shown a video, then he explained a few items maybe 4 and then gave us a headset to explore ourselves. This trip is advertised at 2 hours - we did it in 1 hour and didn't leave anything out!! _br/_ It's a cheap visit and the photos are amazing and very moving - but if you're going to the 9/11 museum I wouldn't bother with this one.

Still trying to get a new date. It is taking forever
Review by: Dorothy C, May 2015
This is not the tour you think it is. It's a 400 sq ft room in the meat packing district with photos and a few artifacts taken from the recovery at ground zero. Most of the focus is on the firefighters. It's fine for what it is, but if you are looking for the story of the 9/11 tragedy go to the other museum. I think some who wrote prior reviews confused which museum was which. If you choose to go here, you'll be done in an hour.

Brilliant - so glad we did this - very emotional!
Review by: Kim D, March 2015
Not the exact tour I actually had thought I booked and wanted, but this was still nice and moving experience. To see artifacts and hear the stories behind these were quite moving.
