How do I access the viewing platform at Ground Zero? Do I have to pay for tickets? The answers are here!
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Couple of Hours
Here's How:
  1. Tickets are no longer required for viewing the World Trade Center area.
  2. The construction zone is surrounded by fences and in some places, there is protective screening. The screening is to protect viewers from flying debris as work continues.
  3. You can access the area by taking the E train to the World Trade Center stop; the N/R to Rector Street; 4/5/6 to Wall Street; or 1/2/3 to Chambers Street.
Tips:
  1. Consult the map linked to below so that you can have a better understanding of the layout of the area before the towers went down.
