Being from the UK, the moment I saw the skyline I fell in love, such a magical view, and the staff are so friendly and made sure my stay was as unforgettable as possible. So informative and very knowledgeable, I loved every second. Thank you for the experience.

We liked being able to point out landmarks to our young granddaughters. I personally couldn't help thinking about the horror that preceded this "Phoenix" . We were wounded on 9/11, but the people of this country got back up proudly! This beautiful building is a testament and memorial to all who lost their lives.

The Museum Experience was sobering and pretty incredible. I recommend the Guided Tour. The One World Observatory experience was out of this world! I recommend going at sundown. The views are spectacular!

    Loved the part where we got to watch a video on a wall then it suddenly revealed the scenic view from the deck. Thanks for the smooth and fast transaction to get my tickets, headout!

    Bird's eye view was the best. Seeing where the rebuilding is occurring to honor those who lost their lives while showing we are a country that will not be defeated was impactful.
