9/11 Memorial Museum Admission

What it is

The museum beneath the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center site, telling the story of the attacks through artefacts, recordings and the remains of the original towers' foundations. The memorial pools above ground are free; the museum is ticketed and takes two hours or more.

Things to know

Timed entry. The flex ticket gives a window of entry on your chosen day. It is a heavy experience and not one for young children. Bags are screened. The Oculus station and Westfield mall are next door if you need somewhere to decompress.

Our verdict

One of the most affecting museums anywhere. Go, and give it time.
