9/11 Memorial & Museum
Location: 180 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10007
For a solemn learning experience about the 2001 terrorist attacks that rocked the country, there’s no better primer than a visit to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. Greenwich Street, New York, NY, is the home of the site of the memorial and museum that honor the 2,977 people killed in the 9/11 attacks and the additional six that were lost in the World Trade Center bombing in 1993. It’s an incredible and humbling stop for tourists in New York City who want to make most out of their visit. At TopView Sightseeing, we make it easy for tourists to visit this site by providing hop-on hop-off routes that pass by this important landmark.
Since the museum is located on the site of the attacks, history is steeped in the 9/11 memorial. New York, NY, residents may remember that 10 years after the 9/11 attacks, a dedication ceremony took place on these grounds. Immediately afterward, the memorial was opened to the public, making it one of the most important landmarks and popular tourist destinations in the country. Three years later, on May 15, 2014, a dedication ceremony for the museum took place; curators welcomed the public six days later. At the World Trade Center memorial, tickets to the museum sold fast, and the site counted more than one million visitors just three months after inviting visitors onto the grounds.
As an inherent part of the layout, the museum offers exhibitions in three distinct segments following a linear timeline. Visitors can choose to see exhibits that explore the nation’s reality before 9/11, delve into the particulars of Sept. 11, 2011, or find out how 9/11 has changed the global landscape.
There is ample opportunity for education at the WTC museum. Along with learning about the events that led to the 9/11 attacks, visitors can absorb knowledge about what happened at the Pentagon and on Flight 93 on that day. A comprehensive overview of the attacks is offered and put into perspective, as their immediate and lasting effects on the local, national, and global stages are examined.
While the WTC museum offers insight into this catastrophic event in American history that continues to affect global affairs, the personal component of this tragedy isn’t ignored. Visitors can also see the In Memoriam gallery, which examines the lives of the individuals who were lost on both 9/11 and Feb. 26, 1993, the date of the World Trade Center bombing. In addition, visitors can gain additional insight with a variety of guided 9/11 Memorial & Museum tours; tickets for these can be purchased with museum admission.
When you book a seat on our Downtown Tour and hop off at this important NYC landmark, you can explore this museum at your leisure and take all of the time that you need to assimilate the lessons that this site has to offer. Note that while the 9/11 museum does charge admission to cover its operating costs, to visit the World Trade Center memorial, tickets are not required.
