It's a same-day reservation, but I went very pleasantly with a quick reservation and simple payment. The price was also better because it was half the price on the Times Square official website.

It was a fantastic trip; the tour was a bit more like organized Chaos, but with the number of people that came through, I don't see anything they could have done better. I would definitely recommend this at least once.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum

Architects Michael Arad and Peter Walker designed the 9/11 Memorial. Their proposal, called Reflecting Absence, consists of two reflecting pools that sit in the footprints of the South and North Towers. They're fed by waterfalls (the largest manmade waterfalls in the United States) and surrounded by a forest of nearly 400 trees. The accompanying 9/11 Museum has an exhibition divided into three sections, the Day of 9/11, Before 9/11, and After 9/11. It uses artifacts, photos, and an extensively researched and well laid out collection to show how the events of 9/11 changed the world.
