I love the history that our guide provided, which was additional to what was actually on the tour. He was nice and the sites were interesting.
Irish Hunger Memorial
Construction of the Irish Hunger Memorial began six months before the atrocities of 9/11, and it was almost lost in the aftermath of that infamous day. Pay respect to the Irish firefighters who saved this memorial and countless lives on September 11th, and learn about the role the Irish played in the disaster and New York’s larger story.
9/11 Memorial Pools
The largest man-made pools in America, the two 9/11 Memorial Pools are meant to signify “absence made visible” and pay tribute to the roughly 3,000 people who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks that shocked the nation. Sitting at Ground Zero, the former site of the WTC, they are some of the most emotionally moving structures in NYC.
The World Trade Center Sphere
Constructed between 1967 and 1971 and finished two years before the South Tower was built, the World Trade Center Spehre emerged from the wreckage of 9/11 as a symbol of the city’s determination. It was eventually moved back to its original location in 2017 after spending several years in Battery Park.
September 11th, 2001, is a day that will never be forgotten in the minds of Americans. Now, years after this tragically violent day, memorials, monuments, and museums act not only to remind us of what happened but to keep us in the present with all those whose lives were lost. Join the 9/11 Ground Zero: America Rising Tour to honor the heroes and victims who perished in the deadliest attack on American soil.
Walk to Ground Zero and witness the powerful depth of the Memorial Pools. The breathtaking pools hold 30 feet of water and represent “absence made visible,” a statement most New Yorkers and Americans still feel years after the 9/11 attacks. Many remember the feeling of loss and shock experienced that morning. On this tour, you will see those feelings demonstrated in the public sphere and gain a deeper understanding of the events that took place on these grounds.
Examine the heroic actions of the bold and dedicated NYFD as you walk the rebuilt streets once occupied by smoking rubble. See the National September 11th Memorial Museum and hear about the exhibits waiting inside. The museum was carefully designed with three exhibitions to commemorate the events before, during, and after. Enhance your experience on the 9/11 Ground Zero walking tour with a visit to the museum afterward.
Learn how the attacks affected the buildings surrounding Ground Zero. Many of them acted as shelters for those seeking refuge. St. Paul’s Chapel was where hopeful families once hung photos of their lost loved ones. “The Little Chapel That Could” now reminds us of the importance of community in our darkest times.
This historic and tragic day is all clear for those born before the 2000s. But even the ones who remember exactly where they ... were and how they felt during 9/11 struggle to understand the depth of the events. If you want to gain a clearer understanding of the September 11th terrorist attacks, or, for those who weren’t alive yet, learn about it firsthand, then take our 9/11 Ground Zero tour.
