In remembrance of September 11, 2001 this walking tour takes you through the former World Trade Center in New York City, where the events of 9/11 took place. Youll be guided by New Yorkers who have connections to the event, listening to their personal stories and touching accounts of the heroism of many others. Ground Zero Your tour starts at St. Pauls Chapel, the oldest public building in NYC still in continuous use, which miraculously survived the falling debris from the 9/11 attacks despite being one block away. It became a makeshift rescue center during the aftermath, and its iron fence became a bulletin board where family members posted notices of missing loved ones. Today, the churchs collection of mementos received from people around the world continue to serve as a tribute to the people of New York. Continue to the Firefighters 9/11 Memorial Wall, where youll hear the heroic stories of the emergency responders, and see the Engine and Ladder Company 10/10, the fire station at Ground Zero. 9/11 MemorialEnter the 9/11 Memorial, where you can pay your respects to those who lost their lives in the World Trade Center. See the Reflecting Absence Memorial, the manmade waterfall inside the memorial, symbolizing the vast void left by the tragedy. Read the names of the nearly 3,000 victims placed around the waterfall next to their friends, family members, and colleagues, made all the more poignant thanks to the new One World Trade Center building that now rises behind the memorial. At the conclusion of your tour, your guide provides you with a timed entry ticket to minimize your wait time at the museum, which youll enter first, followed by the observatory. 9/11 Museum Your guide gives you a preview of the museum and what to expect so you can optimize your time spent inside. Your visit is self-guided, so youll explore at your own pace, checking out artifacts from the attacks and hearing recordings from people who were there that day. One World ObservatoryWith a pre-reserved ticket, you won’t have to wait in
