Such a touching memorial to the lives lost, the terror attacks, the first responders and survivors of September 11th. It is at this pool that you understand the size of these buildings and impact they made when the fell. I recommend just standing quietly and have some time for introspection. It can be very quiet here and should be so please be respectful as you visit.

There is no direct entry to the pools anymore. You have to go through a zigzag of barricades before reaching anyone of them. Entry and exit signs are not visible upfront and there are very few people to assist. I paid my respects to the people here at the pools many times before, and I always believed that if there was a higher ground to some how see the pools in there entirety it would explain the true scale of the hole which was left in peoples hearts.

Very nice to visit again... but very weird to find it very empty.

This photos are from 2019 but this still a nice place to walk by and know more about 9/11 day. This a very turistic place.

To be honest, I didnt love going here but it is a place you should visit at least once.The sadness is tangible and the parts of the building that have been salvaged are phenomenal.From the personal stories of those that watched it all unfold to the voice overs of the families that lost loved ones with the last post playing in the background, is completely heartbreaking.I, personally went in not knowing what to expect, sombre tbh and I left, visibly shaken and upset.We need to never forget that dreadful day and the lives that were lost because of it

Sadly I never got to see the beautiful twin towers in person, so the pools were as close as I could get to experiencing them. The pools are massive, which sort of gives you an idea on how massive those towers were, which makes it even harder to understand what happened there in 2001, simply terrible. The silence there with the water sounds beautifully adds to the memorial atmosphere. It’s a place to think about the devastating events and simply to remember and to pay respect to those, who lost their lifes. Definitely worth a visit.

Very Somber atmosphere. Visit at least once to pay your respects to the lives lost in the tragedy. Visited early 2019.

Well thought out and definitely worth visiting!The fountains are mesmerizing and a nice tribute.

It was here that it hit me that this was the exact place the South Tower once stood - and collapsed. Very unreal. You have to experience it to understand. I wanted to go to the museum, but my g/f wouldn’t go. I will definitely go see the museum next time I am there. I am grateful for the opportunity to visit this place and remember.

Very much a heart felt place for those who lost their loved ones.

Its very interesting to learn all about the events that took place on the day. Its not just how the day happened its the construction process, public opinions, life after and so much more. We spent 5 hours there and we didnt even remember our hunger because we didnt care. Very well designed l, lovely staff and overall a very fun place for a family. 6/5 stars!

Nice place. And it is cute.

Truly this was awesome. It made me remember what I was doing when we were attacked. There was a film showing the president and others giving details about the affects of this event. Also, every Tuesdays its free admission. The let the long lines discourage you because it moves fast.The admission fee is $26.00, if a senior you get a discount at the window. Do not get your ticket from outside vendors because they charge more and no discount. Military get discounts with ID. Enjoy

What a truly beautiful place shame such a beautiful garden has to be in memory of all those who lost there life the people have done good in remembering the lost ones especially engraving all the names of the people who lost there life around the two towns waterfalls beautiful ️

Went on the tour. Enjoyed the tour guide and her explanation of what occurred on 911 and years since. It was worth the extra money. Very nice memorial.

The pools are looking stunningly beautiful and names embraced on walls are a grace ful remembering of those innocent lives lost on that fateful day.

So sobering to witness first hand all of the names of those that lost their lives that fateful day. They should not be forgotten and this memorial helps ensure their lasting legacy. Seeing how many selfless first responders gave their lives trying to save others gives me pause and much gratefulness for their service. Also very touching that the lost have their birthdays remembered as well.

This is a must see. There was so much love and time put into this.

Very nice design what the victims deserve. Also nice ppl can place roses in the names when its their birthday.

Beautiful fountain where the South tower once stood. Adds a great visual and tranquility as you walk around and read the names of those who perished that fateful day.

They did a good job representing what happened on this day. It helped my children understand the historical importance of 9/11. The infinity pools are breathtaking, and a wonderful piece of art to comemorate the buildings, and the lives lost. The museum is worth paying to walk through, masterfully done.

Although the place is shocking, it is sad to think about what happened, but it is great to know that they were honored

Never forget. The site is beautiful and very respectful of all the lives lost that day. A special section lists all of the first responders lost.

Amazing amazing experience. It’s free to visit this area and I absolutely recommend going here. The sound of the water from the pools frowns out the sounds from the crowds of people who visit, creating a peaceful reflective feel to the area. There are police patrolling there area which makes it feel safe.It’s very humbling to see the footprints of the towers and the names of all the people who died in the attack. There are roses that they put in the names, I believe for when it is their birthday. Very emotional. A must see.

A very quiet peaceful place and a very poignant place to visit and a must on your itinerary when visiting this great city.

Because it is history, impacting the greatest city in the world, where are we lost many thousands of lives.

This is the most impressive place in New York City. When in NY you must visit the memorial and museum. We bought our tickets at the ATM en could enter immediately after security check. Its big, really big, so take your time to let it all in. Its a respectfull museum and memorial. People who visit are very quiet. There is a special area where its forbidden to take pictures or make videos.I was quite emotional and really took me back to 9/11 2001. We visited this together with the One World Center Observatory. You want to see our video check out my y outube FilipG Thank you for watching!

This was a bitter sweet experience. Fantastic place but such sad memories. Well worth a visit. Makes you feel the enormity of what happened. Well planned and thoughtfully laid out. A sombre, thought provoking place.

Wow its huge inside . Its amazing the new place. And there is an ice skating. And beautiful view .

Best place in the world plus i cott ths on cam

Lovely place to remember! Love the idea behind the memorial and that the hole can never be replaced.

People were very respectful. This is a final resting place. Peaceful and beautiful. First time back here since and I am very happy with the memorial. Thank you.

A stunning reminder of the atrocities carried out on September 11 and of the undeniably bravery of those rescue personnel who gave their lives to help rescue over 15,000 people from the twin towers and as a beautiful tribute to the 2000+ victims of the terrorist attack. If you can visit the exhibition bellow, it is pricey at $26 each for a ticket but it is definitely worth a visit.

What a simply stunning memorial to the people that tragically lost their lives that day. It was such a solemn experience. Time almost stands still at the fountains. So glad to have seen this and to be able to pay my respects.

I highly recommend visiting this beautiful outdoor memorial. As a New York native, it is such a beautiful place to visit to remember and appreciate our past. The sound of the waterfall passing through the walls in the interior of the structure is uplifting and peaceful to listen to.Great place to take a thoughtful walk with family, friends or even solo.

It was incredibly touching to see all of the names on the memorial. It is a constant reminder of what happened on September 11th, and it is a wonderful memorial to those who lost their lives during this tragedy. I highly recommend coming to this memorial to remember the events and honor the victims

The Memorial is now one of the wonders of the world and it is breath taken. I will encourage friends and well-wishers far and near to visit this remarkable place.

Lovely memorial. Open all the time and looks brilliant at night.

What a memorial to remember those who perished. Highly recommend a guided tour! NYC did a great job with the display and patriotism in memory of all.

Highly recommend that any tourist come here at least once. I felt emotional through the whole museum and was on the verge of tears multiple times.

Its a memorial to the 2983 victims that were lost 19 years ago yesterday. Never forget this tragic day in american history, never forget our firefighters, police, and ems that responded on that day.

Every American should come visit. Always remember, never forget

Didnt do the museum but stayed around memorial area. Very beautiful

Important historical place to visit, well done!

Moving place that takes you back to the horror of the day. The museum is very detailed and covers the time line very accurately. The sound of witnesses and families voices are very poignant

Such an amazing memorial, R.I.P 9/11 deaths ):

We will never forget ️️

Emotional and stirring! A beautiful reminder of the men, women, and children lost in the terror attacks of 1993 & 2001. The facilities were very clean and the attendees were respectful as this does serve as a somber memorial for the families and loved ones of those whod passed.

In the memory of our loved ones whom we lost on 9/11.

Very emotional and vrey different from anything that you can see if you visit New York. Definitely a must see if you ever get to New York.

I would recommend everyone to visit this place at least once in their lifetime.

Beautiful place to respect our innocents victims.

Magnificent place to see a time back in history.

This is one of the most surreal peaceful tranquil places I have been. A moment of reflection and unity and the perfect place to show your respects. A beautiful tribute

Such a powerful feeling seeing the memorial.

The museum that we can feel what happened that day. Everythings are documentary very complete and.... pfuhhh... it feels like just happened....

My uncles friend was actually one of the people in the tower but he survived

One of the most beautiful memorials in the world. You cannot visit nyc and not visit this place.

A place of so much emotion. Amazing tribute to a major event on US soil.

Truly an awesome memorial. They did a great job remembering the victims and the tragic event. Well done.

Very importent place to visit when in new york. Dont miss the museum .

The architecture and surroundings are nice and refreshing even when looking at the memorial itself to remember the souls that were lost unfortunately on man-made disaster of the twin towers crash.

I come every year to leave my cousins Favorite flowers on the wall her name is not there she is still conceded missing or her body was never fond

A must do if youre in NYC on 9/11 anniversary for Tribute if Light. To see the lights projected in remembrance of those we lost, is not only moving but breathtaking. They project the beams south of the memorial so you can still gather at the pools and see the beams of light. #911 #twintowers #thingstodoinnyc

Very moving experience. The museum is a must do as it deals with the subject in a sensitive and emotional way. Tip: if you want to rent the audio tour you must have photo ID! Alternatively you can download the 9/11 Memorial app to your phone for free and a audio guide is on there.

So so so so so very sad.....God bless your souls for all time. Amen

I remember vividly 9 11. The museum was very well done and it serves as a reminder what can happen here at homeMore importantly I saw people younger than I who werent alive or very young when this occurred. The look and their emotions were so different than mine. It was they had heard about the events but until they saw the news reals, voice messages from those trapped it wasnt real.

Very beautiful but also sad and melancholic place. The running water sounds like tears.

A cold winters night. :). Frozen pool.

Human hearts are desperately wicked, who can search it out. This memorial place, the 9-11 ground zero reminds us of the wickedness in the hearts of men but better still the power of love in us all. Love is bigger and stronger than the faint glimpses of hate. A place to be; a location to rekindle the love for human race; a place to reflect and be inspire to leave this space better than how you met it. Never again! We all have it in us - kindness.

Definitely a must see. Short distance from boat docks and from China Town. Worth going to the memorial museum.

Please G-d, the resurrection of the dead very soon with the coming of Moshiach/Messiah

Very interesting tour. As I am not from America I know about the attack but never actually thought about the details and this tour was very interesting, sad and emotional all together

Gave us goose bumps! Absolutely worth seeing!

Thus is my first time ever going here since I was a kid and the twin towers were in tact. I never realised how massive the buildings footprints were untill this day. Absolutely amazing the scale of ground zero and all the names on the plates. This is a very beautiful memorial

Fantastic at night.. Less people.. illuminated and.. It feels like your own personal space to reflect and remember.. Never forget!!

They transform a terrible memory into a terrific place. I was amazed by such a strong history. Very touching.

This is a great place to visit at least once, you dont need to see both places where the towers were, with at least seen one you can truly see the beauty in it its definitely a place to visit and let history singing and without you noticing it will fill you with emotions.

Every American should go see this if they are ever in New York. It is heart wrenching but we must remember.

Very moving memorial. Seeing all the names etched into the stone makes it all so real. Great progress being made in lower Manhattan

A place to reflect and remember...

Only 1 exit and 1 entrance now on the East Side if the park . And you have to wear a mask but its open . Because of Covid19

Brilliant memorial to remember and pay respect to all those who lost their lives and their loved ones. The lighting of the towers only happens on the anniversary. I hope to be back to see that one day

Had an incredible museum worth checking out for the $30 it was to get inside. Fascinating and informative.

Beautifully executed reminder. The area is bustling but there’s plenty of room to get close and taker a few moments to remember. They put a flower on each name for their birthday. It was a humbling reminder of the life that was lost.

I thought I knew a lot about 9/11 until I went through this museum. It is great and some parts interactive. My family was there for 2h and that was not enough time!

Never Forget. 9/11

Every American needs to visit this memorial any time they are near New York City. We drove from Boston to see it. This was our first time to see it. We have not been since 2009, when ground zero was still just a giant hole in the ground. The museum told the whole story and was beautiful. The facilities are unbelievable and awe inspiring. Memories came back that we did not even know we had, of friends and associates that worked at ground zero in the aftermath, and ones that were in the city that day, and all of us that felt, we were there and it happened to all of us.

What a must place to visit. I remember the towers from way back. They have done a great job to remember everyone involved. Nicely done.

It’s a heartfelt visit for anyone from New York City or people who have lost loved ones during 911, i felt very touched in the heart when i looked at the profoundness of the pool realizing that there were human beings just like myself who are still inside the existing grounds ️

Our first visit. A very powerful experience.

Such an emotional experience visiting this place.Very educational with highly knowledgable staff.A well thought out memorial and museum.

The reflecting pools, meant to be the inverse of the old towers, are...well, there’s no ‘there’ there. You cannot see the other pool (tower footprint), so these features are just ok. Best to be there very early in the day before the rude tourists arrive thinking this whole area is an amusement park like the Seaport...it’s not.Btw, go check out the lobby of 4 WTC...it’s shown in my pic...a beauty of a panorama.

I was so moved by all the information given-the pictures to honor the heroes and loved ones that perished on that tragic day. To see the actual exhibits was eye opening, my heart goes out to all of us affected by this event.

A very well-done and beautiful memorial to one of the saddest days in the history of the United States of America. I loved being there.

Would recommend it to anyone visiting new York...must see and experience it

Nice done, all names and the two memorial pools .

While this is a great way to remember those who died on 911 it is still very depressing to go back there and relive that day and I remember that day very very well and it hurts to think about it.

Moving and beautiful, you must visit here while in NYC
