Overview

You’ll learn all about the nine-month recovery after the events of 9/11 and the people involved through insightful exhibits and images.

At this unique workshop, you’ll also be able to handle some of the artifacts from the recovery operation.
Take a 90-minute BOSE audio tour around the exhibits for an in-depth explanation of everything you see, plus a short introductory video and walk through of artifacts with your tour guide. Audio guides are available in French, Italian, English, and Spanish. Images and artifacts on display include the largest piece of surviving WTC window glass in existence and rare images taken by official Ground Zero Photographer Gary Suson. You’ll see firefighters in action, the K-9 recovery dog and the Ground Zero cross. As you explore, you’ll also hear detailed BOSE audio stories and sound effects from 9/11 plus rare footage of the recovery operation. This exhibit holds the attention of even the youngest of children. The collection is also non-graphic.

More impressive in person than the photos. Transitions between rooms or stops felt purposeful, and overall it was one of our favorite stops.

Well organized from start to finish. Plenty of time to explore afterward, nothing felt confusing at the entrance. (Afternoon crowds were predictable.)

Audio quality was sharper than usual for this kind of ticket. Plenty of time to explore afterward, — glad we prioritized it.

Well organized from start to finish. Queues moved faster than expected, would recommend budgeting a little buffer after for souvenirs.
