Did you know the wreckage of the World burned for 99 days straight? Firefighters tended to the seemingly endless inferno around the clock.
In 2001, the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists, leading to the biggest loss of life in history on American soil. The attack, coordinated to occur along with several other airplane hijackings and catastrophic collisions, was a moment that shook our nation to its core, with its devastating effects still felt today. The breathtaking monuments and memorials erected at New York City's "ground zero" serve as a tribute to the victims and heroes of 9/11.
"This was such an emotional tour! We learned so much and we're so grateful for the experience."
The Ground Zero Tour takes you on an impactful journey around Lower Manhattan's Financial District, where we ill visit the area around the original World Trade Center and remember those who lost their lives on one of the most devastating days in American history. We will honor the first responders, local residents, and business owners who risked their lives to help others, and we will observe the effect that 9/11 has on present-day New York City. You will have the opportunity to visit various memorials in the surrounding area, explore the architectural significance of the monuments, and marvel at the heroism, compassion, and sacrifices made on that fateful day.
Honor the heroes and remember the fallen on this moving and inspirational journey, where you will view:
Experience the echoes of unity when a badly shaken nation came together for a moment in a spirit of grief and patriotism in the aftermath of a day that would profoundly change the world, and the New York City skyline, forever.
Join us to explore the impact of September 11, 2001, a day that lives on as a reminder of the American spirit, and a loss that will never be forgotten.
"No day shall erase you from the memory of time."
