The 9/11 museum is very impactful. Pieces of the previous WTC structure helped me understand the size and strength of it. Timeline explained exactly what happened. Artifacts demonstrated the impact on real people. Some of the audio was shockingly moving. Interesting discussion on the aftermath for victims. Many angles of the attack are explored. There is no discussion of the terrorists, motivations, organizations, methods, planning, their history and relationship with the USA, etc. The view from One World Observatory is incredible. We watched the sunset. The elevator ride was fun. I almost wish it was a little slower so I could enjoy the great graphics more!

As the area was closed due to the king and queen visit, we were grateful to have tickets to the Museum. It was an awesome experience but humbling at the same time.

My ticket for the 9/11 Memorial & Museum was for a set time and there was no line. The museum was very well conveived and allowed us to learn more about the chase to find Osama Bin Laden.

Ee visit One World Observatory at 8:20 pm. The view was fantastic, but it wasn’t possible to take good photos because the indoor lighting was reflected on the glass.
