9/11 Memorial, New York City

We took the guided tour and it was definitely worth the extra money. Our tour guide was knowledgable and detailed with an appropriate sprinkling of emotion, because how could you be good at this job without having some sort of emotional reaction to what you are speaking about. The tour was the perfect way to be introduced to the museum. The tour itself lasts about an hour with the opportunity to see more on your own if you so choose. They think of everything, including providing tissues throughout the building, which I did need to utilize. If all humans took the time to go through this museum, it may remind us of how to treat others - we seem to have lost the unity and love towards others we all felt the two weeks proceeding 9/11.

This is a MUST SEE. Talk about humbling. They say about an hr and a half to see all of it. We could have easily spent 5-6hrs. If you want to read everything they have in there, you need time. I would recommend not having anything else planned the day you attend. Definitely worth the money.
