The 9/11 Memorial was very moving and getting to read about alot of the victims was super special as well. The One World observatory's views of New York were amazing! Highly recommend both experiences!

The overall experience was really good. Just one advice for the visiting people, don't take the ipad. Watch the show for better understanding

The views were spectacular and the video of the City's growth overtime on the elevator ride up was really cool. It would have been good if more instructions were provided about the use of the $15 voucher and the tablet provided. I booked in advance and didn't remember everything I paid for when I got there.
