You made it easy to get tickets. If I had it to do over I would have scheduled the observation area on one day and the museum on a different day, with both starting on the earliest time slots before the crowds got too large. There is so much to see in the museum and we only allotted 2 1/2 hours. We could have spent 5 or 6 hours there.

At first, it is for the view on Manhattan, even if we can regret the fact that it is now impossible to see Central Park from WTC. Secondly, it is for the kindness of all the people workßng in WTC. It was a pleasant expérience in comparaison to the visit we did before at the empire state, very expensive and some antipathic waiters.
