We offer two upgrades for the 9/11 Museum. You can either tour the exhibits with a guide or get a skip-the-line ticket to visit on your own.

With both options, you can stay as long as you like after entering. There’s a security checkpoint, and all large bags must be checked.

Maybe it was just a windy day. Not as informative as I expected, but perhaps the weather was responsible

Set aside 5 hours. There is a lot to take in. There is not a lot of places to sit and rest if you are a Sr.
