BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED, A MOVING TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

J. L.

Great memorial. We will never forget!

Natalie L

A place of so much emotion. Amazing tribute to a major event on US soil.

Evelyn LaNier

Beautiful memorial where people can reflect

Bill Mann

Enjoyed the visit, well worth visiting.

Robert Jimenez-Owen

A stunning reminder of the atrocities carried out on September 11 and of the undeniably bravery of those rescue personnel who gave their lives to help rescue over 15,000 people from the twin towers and as a beautiful tribute to the 2000+ victims of the terrorist attack. If you can visit the exhibition bellow, it is pricey at $26 each for a ticket but it is definitely worth a visit.

Very nice design what the victims deserve. Also nice ppl can place roses in the names when it's their birthday.

Bruce Smith

Very moving and very fitting. The flowing water is very healing.

Merten Family

The 9/11 Memorial pool is such a cool area to visit! The marble slate are cooler to the touch while the names unscripted are still is great condition.

LYNN BOWERS

Beautiful tribute to all the victims of 9/11. So glad we went

Meeten Shah

Well worth a visit. considering the devastating attacks that took place, this is an amazing tribute to all those that were directly affected, just walking around the place, you feel a sense of serenity and looking at The names that are so nicely carved of all those people that lost their lives is a stark reminder of the horror that unfolded on that day. The design of the memorial is fitting and I believe a moving tribute to those that were there - it includes officials, passengers and staff what worked in the tower. I for one am glad that I went to see it and it really was a heartfelt time to be where so much blood was shed. This is a fitting memorial to those that suffered in the atrocity in a buzzing and vibrant city. Make a point of visiting and I am sure you too will feel something in the pit of your being as you hear the water and look into the foundations of the 2 buildings that collapsed on that horrid day.

Something about this place. You can feel those people going down. Something runs through your heart at this location. You can feel the pain of all the family who lost someone that day.

Asher Smart

Great respect to those lost

Joseph Veilleux

Thus is my first time ever going here since I was a kid and the twin towers were in tact. I never realised how massive the building's footprints were untill this day. Absolutely amazing the scale of ground zero and all the names on the plates. This is a very beautiful memorial

David Drysdale

Wonderful museum that captures one of the saddest events in human history....and man's inhumanity to man. A very emotional experience walking and viewing those exhibits.

Mike Roach

Meaningful Respectful Classy, rightly so

Kathy Faber-Pitts

9/11 memorial is a very emotional place to visit. Should be on everyone's to do list.

Natalja Baranova

The memorial is giving the right feeling. It is calm monumental and understanding. In deep pain about the loss. But with no hysteria. Gives thoughts

phillip mirick

They did a good job representing what happened on this day. It helped my children understand the historical importance of 9/11. The infinity pools are breathtaking, and a wonderful piece of art to comemorate the buildings, and the lives lost. The museum is worth paying to walk through, masterfully done.

Jacob Van Rassen

Strongly recommend for anyone traveling to NYC. Very moving. Prepare to spend several hours on site. Need the audio tour, app or tour guide to fully understand.

WAYNE Adams

The 9/11 Memorial and Museum was unbelievable. It really pulled on my heart. Everyone should go there and experience ....hard to explain. Each person comes away with a great appreciation of our country, fire and police departments and all the beautiful people who were there to help during that great disaster. May God bless all the families that lost a love one

LegendsofPoison .

People were very respectful. This is a final resting place. Peaceful and beautiful. First time back here since and I am very happy with the memorial. Thank you.

Brittany Rayan

Emotional and stirring! A beautiful reminder of the men, women, and children lost in the terror attacks of 1993 & 2001. The facilities were very clean and the attendees were respectful as this does serve as a somber memorial for the families and loved ones of those who'd passed.

Dessie Mckenna

For what it stands for the death of the innocent

SammyFC

Amazing. Really great way to remember the ones we lost at 911

Ron M

Unbelievable! A definite must see in NYC. Best tourist/memorial site in my opinion.

Simen Kjernlie

Probably the best memorial I have seen. Very powerful.

B.V. Reddy

A place to visit when we go to Newyork city

Craig Brandt

Every American should go see this if they are ever in New York. It is heart wrenching but we must remember.

Filip G

This is the most impressive place in New York City. When in NY you must visit the memorial and museum. We bought our tickets at the ATM en could enter immediately after security check. It's big, really big, so take your time to let it all in. It's a respectfull museum and memorial. People who visit are very quiet. There is a special area where it's forbidden to take pictures or make videos. I was quite emotional and really took me back to 9/11 2001. We visited this together with the One World Center Observatory. You want to see our video check out my y outube FilipG Thank you for watching!

רז ג'והן

So pretty. Everybody should go to this museum

Victor Quinteros

A place of remembrance and peace.

Mary

Beautifully made and a great tribute to our fellow Americans who chose to defy terrorism with acts of bravery.

Joshua Vogelaar

Impressive. Beautiful spot in the heart of the bustling city

Megan Robert

Incredible. Take the time to see and feel it all...it takes 4-6 hours to read, watch and read it all. We only had 1.5 hrs, so we paid for a "911 Memorial Membership" for $120 and went to the front of the line and recvd an audio device, map and a canvas gift bag.

Julia G.

Peaceful yet powerful. Welcome to public and museum visitors! Green space, seating, sun, and shade.

CT T

Deep and dark and dignified, fittingly sombre and respectful

michael banvolgyi

Very importent place to visit when in new york. Dont miss the museum .

gail kline-coyle

Incredibly sad but necessary. Beautiful memorial.

Nathan Yamamoto

A place to mourn the loss of those killed in the building, on the plane, and the first responders who were killed in the collapse of the South Tower, and by the peer impact by the plane itself. There is a stone ring that surrounds this monument, and on that ring is all the names of those that were killed, white flowers signifying that the day you visited was that person's birthday. Overall it's a great but sad place, to commemorate those who's lives were lost on 9/11.

Briana Chapman

Both remberance pools are beautiful. Just remember that this is a place many people come to mourn, not as a selfie photo-op

Tracey Hayes

The family guided tour was spot on in meaningful and family appropriate experience! The pool, frankly the memorial in so many thoughtful ways is really toughing and important!

Tony Bainbridge

The museum made me sad! Remembering the day listening to recordings and watching videos. However it is well presented and I definitely recommend it

ROBIN O'Donnell

There are no words to describe being in the place of the greatest tragedy.. If you feel the need, you must make the trek to Manhattan NY and visit this site. You will be moved.

Ibrahim Diallo

Best to place to visit in Manhattan

Jaehyun Jeong

I was in a middle school and watching the news. And I was watching WTC collapse through the TV. I didn't know what was going on. I was just sitting in the living room and crying. What a tragic history. We all should remember this place.

Melise Harris

I mean, I didn't love it because it's so sobering but they did an amazing job here.

PJ's Coin Capers

This spot will not disappoint. A great memorial for all time.

Felicia Guerrero

informational, clean, sad, price should be a little lower unless some of the money's are going to the families of 9/11

Maggie Boyd

Makes you slow down and think of what's really important in life.

William Young

Totaly brilliant well worth the visit

Caroline Gowan

Very tasteful to remember all those people in the tragedy

Dee Alderman

A truly breathtaking sight. Very emotional.

Alan Bleam

Don't keep delaying your visit. Make time and go.

Suzette Keys

The place was so quiet and somber. Even with the many people that were here. We are from Colorado and yet it brought tears to my eyes and I can remember 9/11. I remember what I was wearing, what TV channel I was on.

David Jones

Moving place that takes you back to the horror of the day. The museum is very detailed and covers the time line very accurately. The sound of witnesses and families voices are very poignant

Libin T L

Must see place in NY. Be ready for a long wait if you are planning to visit the museum. It is worth the time.

Peter Bushell

What a truly beautiful place shame such a beautiful garden has to be in memory of all those who lost there life the people have done good in remembering the lost ones especially engraving all the names of the people who lost there life around the two towns waterfalls beautiful ❤️

Navroze Bhatia

It has history. It is a place to remember. And it is a place to appreciate the world we live in.

Jerry McDaniel

If you have time for only one place to see while in NYC the memorial and museum are the one.

Fiifi Clarke

It's very interesting to learn all about the events that took place on the day. It's not just how the day happened it's the construction process, public opinions, life after and so much more. We spent 5 hours there and we didn't even remember our hunger because we didn't care. Very well designed l, lovely staff and overall a very fun place for a family. 6/5 stars!

J.S.D.A Warriors Bunch

It was absolutely breathtaking and I absolutely cannot express the feeling you get explanation point to stand here 18 years ago and imagine these being knocked down on the anniversary was absolutely mind blowing. I still can remember exactly what I was doing and where about that day! Never forget

Joseph Smith

Every American needs to visit this memorial any time they are near New York City. We drove from Boston to see it. This was our first time to see it. We have not been since 2009, when ground zero was still just a giant hole in the ground. The museum told the whole story and was beautiful. The facilities are unbelievable and awe inspiring. Memories came back that we did not even know we had, of friends and associates that worked at ground zero in the aftermath, and ones that were in the city that day, and all of us that felt, we were there and it happened to all of us.

brian eykenboom

The design of the pools is quite significant in creating these voids or empty footprints of the old towers.There are white roses on some of the names at the memorial which they put out everytime it's one of the deceased birthdays which is a really nice touch. Exhibition was done beautifully but it's heavy stuff the weight of it all is alot to take in. One of the tour guides we overheard telling the story of his wife who died at the site and where she would have been when the building came down, then later pointing to her photo on the wall. Made me want to ball my eyes out but every one else seemed quite composed so I just rushed through some parts the end. You gotta go, but plan something light afterwards.

Adrien Ufferte

What am i looking at? The biggest pool on earth? At least it's very beautiful...

Dipin Sahadevan

Well maintained monument.It was clean and overall great experiance, though it was crowded on weekend.

Mauro Izquierdo

It's a unique place, it's pretty much unbelievable that an airplane crashed into the twin towers there, it makes you feel very small and vulnerable, you gotta understand that many things. You gotta respect.

Herby Beam

To think that this double decker bottomless bathtub was the best design to represent death, heroics and tragedy just blows me freakin' mind. I really think they should fill it up with water and make a koi pond. To the tourists, kindly keep your hands off the banister and teach your kids about reverence and respect. There was terror there. I was there. It was a site of horror. Kindly show respect and then buy something to support my koi pond idea.

William McKiernan

Extremely moving memorial. A must see for anyone visiting the city

Aaron

A very sombre monument, shame so many use it as a selfie opportunity

Miguel Ortiz

It's a nice place, the park its very clean

jennifer viera

Beautiful area. They did a great job!

Tony Kerley

HUGE and breathe taking is all I can say. Can't see the bottom in the center. Keeps going down.

Quality Automotives

Really felt very bad seeing the names. Merciless humans who carried this operation. My deepest sympathy to the family who lost their beloved.

Robert Gavasi

Good way to remember the place of the twin towers and especially the memory of the people.

Ric Cederholm

I was much more moved by this memorial than I had expected. It was so well done and beautiful

Anna Hulse

Moving and beautiful, you must visit here while in NYC

Hemanshu Mahetalia

Emotional experience to the world's most compelling grueling act of terrorism. But very well responded and respected by USA Govt. One must visit and just feel. Oculus is very well and thoughtfully done.

James Xavier

Tragic memory. But the place is well maintained as memorial.

Concepcion Emanuel

We will never forget New York

Cassie R. Bane

It makes you take a step back and realize the devastation that was caused.

James Adams sr

Very solemn place Americans don't forget what they did to us

chaz wade

What a memorial to remember those who perished. Highly recommend a guided tour! NYC did a great job with the display and patriotism in memory of all.

Josephine Clarke

Very sad but nice monement to commemorate it

Glenn Cody

It was incredibly touching to see all of the names on the memorial. It is a constant reminder of what happened on September 11th, and it is a wonderful memorial to those who lost their lives during this tragedy. I highly recommend coming to this memorial to remember the events and honor the victims

Cathy Hobson

I visited the South Pool (& the complete 9/11 Memorial site) 3 times over 2 weeks & at different times of the day. Very moving and beautiful memorial that will always remind me both of the victims and the brave spirit of New Yorkers.

Michael Nies

Gave us goose bumps! Absolutely worth seeing!

Jay Krishna Raman

Mohanie Sukhdeo

Good morning

Bharath Honnesara Sreenivasa

Very well done and maintenaned.

Delbra Woodard 4

Truly this was awesome. It made me remember what I was doing when we were attacked. There was a film showing the president and others giving details about the affects of this event. Also, every Tuesdays it's free admission. The let the long lines discourage you because it moves fast. The admission fee is $26.00, if a senior you get a discount at the window. Do not get your ticket from outside vendors because they charge more and no discount. Military get discounts with ID. Enjoy

Crystal Leonard

Love it and will return again some day.

Jonathan Eyal

Deeply moving, beautifully arranged, well worth visiting

Ann Lum

Very very interesting would go back again

Summer Latty

I would recommend everyone to visit this place at least once in their lifetime.

Jenne Ramsey

Epic. The museam nearby is well worth visiting too. This place is full of emotion. It is also beautiful. There will be people who list lived ones there so keep that in mind because they may be having a different emotional experience than you might be as a tourist. Hyper children, loud cell ohine conversarions, and obtrusive visitors can distract from the serenity that others need to hold on to in order to process their emotions.

Sasha E.

Really makes you think. Beautifully done and it's great how the water blocks out the city noise.

Gary Weis

A must see and always remember..

Jackie Weis

BEAUTIFUL place a must see.

Shane Angley

Hallowed ground. A resting place for heroes.

Larry & Luci Greene

This memorial is very well done . Must visit if in NY

David Kendell

The water is falling and falling... Ghost like shapes come and go in the moving waters as they plunge downwards. Very moving place and tribute to remember those that died here.

Arlie Suarez

It really touch the real effect of this attack, it brings you back to that day feeling..

Stephen Irvine

Very moving experience. The museum is a must do as it deals with the subject in a sensitive and emotional way. Tip: if you want to rent the audio tour you must have photo ID! Alternatively you can download the 9/11 Memorial app to your phone for free and a audio guide is on there.

Toni Linnusmäki

Very touching to visit. Worth the trip to see and realize what a a tragedy it was.

Darragh Garvey

Really brings home the scale of what happened here. The sound of the water drowns out the fact that there are so many people around you so you do get time to contemplate.

Kristy Eubanks

Mesmerizing.. Thought provoking

Salman Khan

A magnificent memorial, very well planned

Sergio Montengro

It's a beautiful place to visit if you are in NYC so many tourists from around the world come to visit.

Larry N

Very beautiful place.

George Asoee

Very nice monument with lots of images, videos and presentation of the facts.

Susan Gilberti

I am unable to express the depth of emotion standing at the footprints of the Trade Towers

Nicolina Štor

Very interesting tour. As I am not from America I know about the attack but never actually thought about the details and this tour was very interesting, sad and emotional all together

Halid Kalayci

Great memorial's for honoring the people who lost their lives in 9/11.

Marilyn Velazquez

Everyone should be adding this place to their bucket list. About 2,996 lives where taken.. A beautiful creation, where we all experienced one of the most horrifying moments in history.

Martin Seibert

It's impressive. I was constantly torn apart from two feelings: 1. A lot of people died. Make sure they are seen. 2. This was an act of terrorism. Do not give it so much room and attention. The best way to fight it is to ignore it. I think that this is the right way for America to deal with this incident. It's humbling to see, that they put roses for the victims that have their birthday on this specific day. The amount of people who died displayed on the surface is overwhelming. :-(

bhupendra bhatt

What a way to give tribute to all people who got killed by terrorist attack...you all will always be in our memories.

Dawn Mcniel

Beautiful. Our visit invoked so many memories!

Giosuè Finelli

You feel a kind of energy, the monument in its self is a question of taste, let everyone put their own interpretation.

Louise Simon Schoene

Moving experience. Even watching how lovingly it is cared for affected me.

jose gallegos

Visited with family. Not many places in the world like this. Surrounding area also nice

Anthony garrett

I work there every day it is a somber place to remember & reflect what happened on 9/11 where many people lost there lives

Angie Marcinko
