A visit to Ground Zero is an experience you'll never forget and something all Americans should do to remember those who died in a horrific terrorist attack. It's incredibly moving to walk around the site, read the names of the dead and contemplate what happened there. Make a reservation ahead of time and print out your free tickets, and be... More

On Memorial Day weekend, My husband and son,nephew and I visited Ground Zero. We reserved passes online and printed at home and were able to enter the site where the two reflection pools stand in the exact place of the two destroyed buildings stood.

Always, a emotional experience. Be sure to get a pass a few streets over before you go to the entrance. Also., noticed lines long midday. I walked right in in the morning.

According to my friends in the US, politics, sentiment and grief are all fuelling the difficulties... More

It was surreal to be there and to see these massive pools of water where the towers once stood. It was a very moving experience that made what happened here so much more real. Definitely worth the visit. The passes are free but its best to secure them online before visiting.

Workers... they still wear protective hats with USA flag.
