You must have a reservation to enter. Click here to make your reservation on the World Trade Center 9/11 Memorial website, where you also can also find information about where the name of a particular victim or group is etched into the stone surrounding the 30-foot-tall waterfalls that mark the footprint of the original Twin Towers. Be forewarned that the first available ticket could be weeks ahead of today. And remember — the passes are FREE — anybody who wants to sell you a pass is doing so illegally. A limited number of passes for same-day visits are available daily at the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site at 20 Vesey St. (at Church Street) beginning at 9:00 a.m., the NYC & Co. kiosk at City Hall and the NY Water Taxi booth at the South Street Seaport. Limited to 4 passes per person on a first-come, first-served basis. Be prepared for extensive security screening, similar to airport security screening, to enter the 9/11 Memorial, so get there at least 15 minutes ahead of the time printed on your reservation confirmation form. Although you will be admitted at the time printed on your pass, you can stay as long as you like. The length of time each pass holder can spend on the memorial plaza will not be limited. The 9/11 Museum is due to open in 2012, and that will have an admission fee. The 9/11 Memorial is separate from the museum, and free.
