Personally, I enjoyed more aspects that are connected with a memorial than the historical timeline. It's remarkable about being the largest martine evacuation in history and the personal stories and momentoes make this building truly special and worth visiting.

This is the new world trade center after the 9/11 tragedy. It is right next to the memorial. The illumination at night was fantastic.

Visited here one afternoon and had the fantastic experience of seeing the Afternoon light, Sunset and eventually full Nighttime in one visit – we did have to pay slightly more for this time, but hugely worth it. The entry into the exhibit informs you how the tower was built, and then a surprise and incredible reveal once you reach the top before entering the viewing platform, which adds a huge WOW factor and fun memory of the experience. The views from the top are incredible – providing 360 degrees of NY looking up to Midtown, south to Statue of Liberty, East to Brooklyn and the bridges and West to Jersey, as well as looking down over the 9/11 memorial waterfalls. The place holds a sombre mindset of what used to be, and what people in those final moments must have seen. We really enjoyed our visit, and absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting NY.

It is the new skyscraper that was build sort of in the place of the twin towers that were destroyed. The building is very tall and can be seen from a distance. You can go to the top. It is a new icon.

I visited One World Trade on a rainy day using my Go City card, and in a way I was relieved — the bad weather meant I could get up and down quickly without long queues. Sadly, that was the only positive part of the visit.Before you even get into the elevator, they’re already trying to sell you an add‑on iPad tour. It immediately set the tone, and not in a good way. Once I reached the top, I felt a huge heaviness. Standing at that height, all I could think about were the thousands of lives lost on 9/11 and the people who faced with unthinkable choices of jumping from this very altitude or burning to death. It’s impossible not to feel the weight of that history.For me, this should be a place of quiet reflection and remembrance. Instead, it felt commercialised to the point of being unsettling. Inside, the upselling continues — photos, fridge magnets, pens, and other souvenirs being pushed at every turn. The whole atmosphere felt more like a theme park than a site of profound tragedy.I left feeling sad, uncomfortable, and disappointed. If you’re hoping for a respectful, reflective experience that honours the significance of this place, this may not be what you expect.
