Purchased a Groupon for the 9/11 Tribute Museum after reading some online reviews. For some reason difficult time finding the Museum, Perhaps because the 9/11 National Museum is so big. The Museum is small, but has some artifacts and does a good job of capturing the emotion of that day. We decided to pay extra for the personal tour and it was well worth it. The museum hires survivors, family members of those killed, and other volunteers to serve as guides. Our guide was a gentleman who was a tv news reporter. He’s a native New Yorker who had personal stories about people he knew that were either killed or survived...very emotional hearing the first-hand account. He provided some personal opinions which were interesting because you would never get that from a scripted tour. Interestingly, we had a woman from the Netherlands and two women from Scotland on the tour. Their questions and interpretation of the events of that day were interesting. At the end of the day, the guide challenges us to remember what our lives were like, or how they had changed since 9/11. It put the event in perspective because it is truly a different world now. A very educational and informative tour. Not a national museum but well worth the donation.
