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.

This experience was top-notch, starting with the app, which helps a ton by keeping you updated with text messages about the day and time of your booking. That way, if you get distracted visiting other places, the app reminds you when the time for your tour is coming up. Scanning the tickets was super easy, the on-site service was super fast, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was an experience I won't forget, and I want to highlight the A+ service—they made us feel very welcome. The museum is huge, and the employees made sure we didn't miss a single detail. Highly recommended.

Super fast service, and the staff was totally friendly and helpful. We were lost and asked someone on the street for directions; to our surprise, she was an employee there! She took her time and led us straight to the doors, and she wasn't even working—she did it in her free time. Even though it was cloudy, the view was a very lovely experience, and the interactive light section before reaching the platform is incredibly beautiful and fun. I recommend it 100 out of 100.

Experience the 9/11 Memorial with Dex

The 9/11 Memorial Dex experience is an interactive self-guided tour available exclusively with selected 9/11 Memorial admission tickets booked through Headout.

Put on your earphones and follow a story that unfolds across the memorial plaza and the museum below it, connecting the twin reflecting pools, the Survivor Tree, the slurry wall, and the Last Column with the quieter details that are easy to walk past.

First-hand accounts and historical voices lead you through stories of the morning of September 11, 2001, the people whose names are inscribed in bronze around the pools, the rescue and recovery effort that followed, the engineering of the original towers and the long rebuilding of the site, accompanied by original music and restrained sound design.

How Dex guides you through the memorial and museum

  • Dex uses your phone’s location to guide you along a recommended route covering the North and South Pools, the Survivor Tree, Foundation Hall, the Memorial Glade, and quieter corners of the plaza.
  • As you reach each location, it automatically begins the story connected to what you are seeing.
  • The route is only the starting point. When a name on the parapet, an artifact, or a detail of the site catches your attention, pause and ask your Dex guide a question.
  • Photograph a supported memorial feature or museum object to uncover more about it, open a related story, or return to the route when you are ready.
  • Dex also points you towards quieter parts of the site and details of the plaza and galleries that are easy to walk past. You decide when to pause, where to go deeper, and when to continue.

How Dex differs from an audio guide and a group tour

An audio guide gives you a collection of prepared recordings. Dex builds those stories into a location-aware route, automatically connects them to what is around you, and lets you ask questions or investigate supported objects along the way.

A group tour gives you live interpretation from a human guide while following a scheduled departure, shared route, and group pace.

Dex offers a different experience: a structured tour that you can begin when you choose, pause whenever something interests you, and explore at your own pace. Choose Dex if you want the direction and storytelling of a guided visit with the freedom to explore the memorial and museum independently.

Unlock 9/11 Memorial Dex

Selected 9/11 Memorial admission tickets booked through Headout unlock the complete 9/11 Memorial Dex experience at no additional cost. It is not available as a standalone purchase or with tickets bought elsewhere.
