About this activity

Meet your expert tour guide for a unique experience at the Ground Zéro site and experience a 1-hour walking tour of the World Trade Center around monuments and memorials dedicated to the victims and survivors of the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Visit St. Paul’s Chapel and learn about the role it played after the attacks. Gather at the 9/11 memorial, right in front of the memorial pools. Your guide will give you a detailed description of each monument, from the design of the pools to the architecture of the new World Trade Center and its symbolic use of materials, light, and reflections.

Pay tribute to the victims at the Firefighter’s Memorial and the Eleven Tears Memorial, often missed by visitors without a guide. Watch the reconstruction of the site by visiting Brookfield Place and the Oculus, the transportation hub of the new World Trade Center.

Itinerary

Ground Zero Museum Workshop

40 min

Experience an emotional 1-hour walking tour of the NYC 9/11 Ground Zero site. Pay tribute to the fallen heroes and gather near the different monuments. Your tour guide will help you to really understand what happened on that memorial day of the 9/11.
Brookfield Place

10 min

Brookfield Place is NYC's best destination for shopping, dining, cultural events and art exhibits in downtown Manhattan. The guide will just show you the place from outside but you won't go shopping. You can always come back at a latter time to shop by yourself.
The Oculus

10 min

The Oculus in NYC is an artistic landmark located within walking distance of the World Trade Center. The guide will show it to you but you won't enter inside. You can always come back and visit it by yourself another time.
St. Paul's Chapel

20 min

After the attacks of September 11, 2001, St. Paul’s Chapel, which sits directly across the street from the World Trade Center site, suffered no physical damage.

As recovery work started at the World Trade Center site, hundreds of rescue workers came to Lower Manhattan to search for survivors and begin sorting through the ruins. Slowly at first, rescue workers, police, and firefighters stopped by the chapel to rest and wash up.
