You can see the steel beams in the floor which made up the footings, and you can see the bottom walls of the reflecting pools that represent the exact locations of the buildings when they stood. Inside, you'll walk a museum cut into the same square footage that the twin towers were located. We then returned and waited in another line to get in. Once you reach the front of the line, don't be surprised if you have to wait for your starting time (ours was 90 mins after we got our tickets!) So we walked around lower Manhattan until the designated time. My recommendation: go there, hope for no line, and stand in it to buy tickets.If you go with someone else, you can take turns standing in line while the other(s) go visit the reflecting pools (which take about 15 mins to take in) (and quite impressive). I don't think there's a way to avoid the line upon arrival, whether you buy tickets on their website or not. Of that 5 hours, we spent 2 in line waiting for our real tickets (and a time) and another 20 to get in at our appointed time. Bottom line, with those aftermarket tickets we spent 5 hours at the location until we were done with it. We purchased a ticket online, which turned out to be a mistake, because if it's not from the actual 911 museum website you will pay more AND not be able to skip the lines. However, be prepared to spend a large amount of time there if you plan to visit the museum. The museum and park that was built in the years since is a start reminder to all of us, and something everyone should visit at some point in their lives. Was a horrific day, and Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan was at the forefront of all the atrocities that took place that day.
