Explore rare 9/11 images and recovery artifacts in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, with 100 audio stories and a hands-on museum visit.

About this tour

Step into a quieter, hands-on account of September 11 and the months of recovery that followed. In Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, the Ground Zero Museum Workshop pairs rare photographs with personal stories and artifacts from the 9-month recovery effort.

Spend about 90 minutes exploring the exhibit with a self-guided BOSE audio tour featuring 100 stories, available in English, French, Italian, and Spanish. View images by Ground Zero’s official photographer, watch a 12-minute film, and hear additional insights from an on-site guide. Visitors can hold and photograph select artifacts, offering a tangible connection to the people and work behind the recovery. The experience is described as family-friendly and non-graphic, with audio designed to engage younger visitors as well as adults.

The Ground Zero Museum Workshop is a separate museum experience in the Meatpacking District, not the 9/11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center. Plan your visit to explore this intimate collection and its stories at your own pace.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.3.
