Visit the 5-star rated Ground Zero Museum Workshop for an intimate and detailed and introduction to the “Real Ground Zero” and to things you won't see at the nearby 9/11 Memorial & Museum. The “kid-friendly” non-graphic imagery, 100 audio stories, Ground Zero artifacts and rare photos housed in this non-profit museum exhibit the heroic efforts of the FDNY firefighters on that fateful day in 2001 and the 9-month “Recovery Period." See the "Bible Page" and the "Frozen Clock." Winner of TripAdvisor’s “Top 25 Museums in the USA” award in 2013 & 2014, this is the only place you can actually pick up and hold Ground Zero artifacts, a chilling reminder for adults and a chance for young children to learn about a significant moment in history. Located in the historic Meatpacking District on West 14th street near the High Line Park and Chelsea Market Eateries. Known world-wide as the "Biggest LITTLE Museum in New York."

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for kids attending the Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour?

A: Nope, there aren't any specific age restrictions! The tour is kid-friendly and designed to be educational for children while being sensitive to the subject matter. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need some guidance from parents to fully understand the context of the artifacts.

Q: How difficult is it to park near the Ground Zero Museum Workshop?

A: Parking in the Meatpacking District can be tricky. There are a couple of garages nearby, but they can get expensive, usually around $30-40 for a few hours. I recommend taking public transport if you can; the subway stops are pretty close and it's way easier!

Q: What should I wear for the Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour, especially if I might be holding artifacts?

A: Comfort is key! You’ll be walking around quite a bit, so wear something casual. Closed-toe shoes are a must since you might be handling some artifacts. I wore jeans and sneakers, and it was perfect. Just check the weather, since it's mostly indoors but you’ll walk to the entrance from the street.

Thinking about gifting the Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour!

I'm planning to surprise my dad for his birthday with the Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour. He loves history and this seems like such a unique experience! I read that you can actually hold some artifacts, which is super cool. I just want to make sure it’s engaging enough, especially for someone who was alive during 9/11. Any advice?

Just got back from the Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour!

Wow, what a powerful experience. I went with my partner, and we were both moved by the stories and artifacts. The 'Frozen Clock' really hit home. It's a small space but packed with emotion. The audio tour is also a great addition. Highly recommend for anyone visiting NYC!
