Tour the memorial with a local guide who has a personal connection to 9/11. Then, see historic artifacts in New York City’s 9/11 Museum and sweeping views of Manhattan from the One World Observatory.

 

EXPERIENCE:

This deeply personal tour of Ground Zero begins at the site of what served as a rescue center for victims and place for mementos after the attacks: St. Paul’s Chapel. The historic church was miraculously unharmed when the Twin Towers fell despite being only a block away.

You’ll then walk to the 9/11 Memorial where we’ll reflect on the lives lost in the World Trade Center attacks. See “Reflecting Absence,” the largest man-made waterfalls on the continent. Your guide will share the meaning behind the memorial, stories from the day, and how New Yorkers came together in the aftermath.

Afterward, visit the 9/11 Museum with your skip-the-line ticket for a self-guided tour of the exhibits and artifacts. Next, walk over to Freedom Tower. In the lobby, you can watch “Voices,” a film about the Twin Towers and Freedom Tower, before riding the SkyPod elevator 1,250 feet up. Visit the tri-level One World Observatory for panoramic views of NYC, immersive LED displays, and the See Forever Theater.
