Seeing the 9/11 Museum before going up One World Observatory was so memorable. The history of such a tragic event was done in such good taste. I would highly recommend doing both and experiencing what has risen from a dark time in history!

The line wasn't long when we got there (week day midafternoon) but it was kind of fun just skipping the line and going straight to security. The views were amazing even if it was a hazy day.

Honestly, it was a very simple visit without much interaction. The welcome speech was great, and the view of New York's past in the elevators was also great, but honestly, nothing out of the ordinary. Obviously, the observatory is beautiful, and the views are great. We would have liked more interaction with the views of New York's past, more information, something more entertaining. We found it a bit too simple for the cost.

The views from the Freedom Tower were wonderful. It turned out to be a clear day with great viability. As a New Yorker, who worked across the street from the Twin Towers and had friends who perished in the attack, it took me all this time to bring myself to go. I am very thankful that I did. The Memorial was very impressive and important for future generations.

So far this was the best day of my holiday.The one world observatory was a fantastic experience . And to see what had been done about showing the world about 9/11 , and one of the last things that was said about you can't always stop individuals from doing terable things, but it shows how people come together for the best in prices.
