3h30
About this activity
Join us for a tour of the former World Trade Center in New York City as we commemorate the tragic events of 9/11. You will hear firsthand accounts from our guides, who are New Yorkers with personal connections to 9/11. After the tour, youll get to skip the standard ticket lines for faster entry.
We will start the tour at St. Paul's Chapel, New York Citys oldest public building still in continuous use. Just one block away from the 9/11 attacks, it miraculously survived the falling building and debris. St. Pauls Chapel served as a makeshift rescue center during the aftermath. Its iron fence became a bulletin board where family members posted notices of their missing loved ones. Today, with the mementos received from people around the world supporting New York City, the church serves as both a landmark and a tribute.
You'll enter the 9/11 Memorial, where you can pay your respects to those who lost their lives in the World Trade Center. Take a moment at Michael Arads Reflecting Absence, a man-made waterfall that symbolizes the void left behind by tragedy. Learn how the names of the nearly 3,000 victims were placed around the waterfall next to their friends, family members, and colleagues. See the new Freedom Tower and World Trade Center rise from the ground.
For the 9/11 Museum, you will be provided with timed entry tickets to minimize wait times. Museum entry time will be based on availability. Our guides will give you a preview of the museum and what to expect so you can plan accordingly, and still have time to see other sights important to you. The Museum visit will be unguided, so feel free to enjoy it at your leisure. Approx 2hrs.
