9/11 and Ground Zero Tour
Embark on a journey to discover the bravery, passion and tragedy of September 11. Experience the Ground Zero site, as you seek to comprehend firsthand the events of 9/11, and listen to stories that illuminate the tragic events of that day, as well as stories of heroism and sacrifice. Gain a profound sense of the magnitude of the attacks and their disastrous effects. Visit the September 11 Memorial, with twin reflecting pools that sit within the footprint where the Twin Towers once stood. They feature the largest man-made waterfalls in North America and the names of the over 3,000 people who died in the attacks are inscribed into bronze panels. See the Freedom Tower, the structure being constructed on the northwest corner of the World Trade Center site that will stand 1,776 feet tall, in honor of the year of the United States Declaration of Independence. Explore the American Express Eleven Tears Memorial that features a 600 pound tear-shaped piece of Brazilian quartz, which was carved to have 11 sides, one for each American Express employee killed in the attacks.
