9/11 Ground Zero Tour + Freedom Tower Tickets

Join us for a tour of the former World Trade Center in New York City as we commemorate the tragic events of 9/11. You will hear firsthand accounts from our guides, who are New Yorkers with personal connections to 9/11. After the tour, you'll get to skip the standard ticket lines for faster entry.

We will start the tour at St. Paul's Chapel, New York Citys oldest public building still in continuous use. Just one block away from the 9/11 attacks, it miraculously survived the falling building and debris. St. Pauls Chapel served as a makeshift rescue center during the aftermath. Its iron fence became a bulletin board where family members posted notices of their missing loved ones. Today, with the mementos received from people around the world supporting New York City, the church serves as both a landmark and a tribute.

You'll enter the 9/11 Memorial, where you can pay your respects to those who lost their lives in the World Trade Center. Take a moment at Michael Arads Reflecting Absence, a man-made waterfall that symbolizes the void left behind by tragedy. Learn how the names of the nearly 3,000 victims were placed around the waterfall next to their friends, family members, and colleagues. See the new Freedom Tower and World Trade Center rise from the ground.

Also known as the One World Observatory. This panoramic observation deck is a marvel of engineering and architecture. The program begins in the lobby with "Voices" - a film dedicated to the men and women of the Twin Towers and the Freedom Tower. You will take the "Sky Pod" elevator which rises 1,250 ft (381 m) in the air in 60 seconds. This part of the tour is self-guided, and typically takes 1 hour.
