How to Visit the World Trade Center Site and 9/11 Memorial & Museum

How to Visit the World Trade Center Site and 9/11 Memorial & Museum, advice from a licensed NYC Tour Guide.

For the past decade, I've taken tourists ranging from royalty, the elementary school students, to survivors, first responders, and family members to the World Trade Center Site. Over the past ten years, I've learned a thing or two about what allows guests to have their most meaningful experience. It felt important to share how to visit 9/11 in NYC with the world so everyone can have their most meaningful experience.

The World Trade Center Site and 9/11 Memorial & Museum, also known as Ground Zero, will be a very personal experience to everyone. Some were in the buildings when the events took place, others were yet to be born. Be respectful when you visit and also allow yourself to feel whatever emotions may come up.

I do strongly encourage everyone to download the 9/11 Museum App (it's free) before their visit. You can even listen to the 9/11 Museum audio tours on their app before your visit to prepare.

If you would like to take a tour of the museum, please book a tour directly with the national 9/11 Memorial and Museum:https://www.911memorial.org/

The museum also offers tours of the World Trade Center Site.

World Trade Center Site Tours can be found on my website www.themegandaily.com

I also strongly recommend City Tales Sightseeing Tours, Experience First, and Walks as tour companies that offer impactful public tours of the World Trade Center Site.
