9/11 Ground Zero Tour & One World Observatory

We weren't sure how we would feel about doing a tour of Ground Zero, but it was done in a respectful manner and was a really moving tour. Having a guide who was personally there on September 11th made it all the more personal, and he gave his first-hand experience on the emotions and the hope of the aftermath. It was inspiring; I thought it would be quite depressing but they focus a lot on the community bond that was formed and recovering from the attack.

We learned lot on the walk around the memorial fountains, which takes around two hours, and after that admittance is included to the museum and One World Observatory which you can visit in your own time.

Top tip: Go early! It gets really busy later in the day.
