Pro tips to help you make a pick

The museum commemorates the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The experience can be an emotionally overwhelming one.

While there is no age restriction, the somber nature of this attraction may make it unsuitable for children below 10 years.

If you are visiting on a Wednesday afternoon, join the bagpipe tribute that plays to honor the victims. Bagpipers play every Wednesday at 1:30pm near the 9/11 Memorial Glade.

We suggest you opt for a guided tour to be able to fully immerse yourselves in the experience and discover untold stories with an expert guide.

Everything went really well, but we crossed over to Elíse Island, and when we wanted to come back, we had to wait over an hour for the ferry. It was so cold that we all froze. Aside from that, everything else was wonderful.

The Edge viewing area offered a different vantage point than Empire AND One World. It is very well staffed, there is no breakfast option up there, which would have been nice. Grest views on NJ, Mid Town, etc. MOMA is MOMA, one great exhibit after another....again, well/professionally staffed.
