The National September 11 Memorial is a tribute of remembrance and honor to the nearly 3,000 people killed in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001.  The Memorial pays homage to those who lost their lives at the World Trade Center site, near Shanksville, Pa., and at the Pentagon, as well as the six people killed in the World Trade Center bombing in February 1993. 

The Memorial’s twin reflecting pools are each nearly an acre in size and feature the largest man made waterfalls in North America. The pools sit within the footprints where the Twin Towers once stood.  Additionally, the names of every person who died in the 2001 and 1993 attacks are inscribed on bronze panels edging the Memorial pools, a powerful reminder of the largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil and the greatest single loss of rescue personnel in American history.

Admission:
Entrance to the Memorial is free but due to the ongoing World Trade Center construction, the Memorial has instituted a timed entry reservation system.  This system is the most efficient and expeditious way to book a 9/11 Memorial visitor pass, needed for admission.
