Family Members Reservations for National Memorial at the World Trade Center

Families of 9/11 victims will get priority access to the National September 11 Memorial at the World Trade Center amid high expected demand for visitation.

Because construction will be ongoing at the site through the 10th Anniversary of the attacks this year, advance reservations will be needed to gain access to the area.

Memorial President Joe Daniels: "There is a need to manage capacity on the plaza, and advance reservations are required for all visitors for safety purposes. However, your experience, as families of those whose loved ones were taken too soon, is of the deepest importance to us."

The note says that beginning July 6, families of the 9/11 and 1993 Trade Center attacks will get to secure the advance reservations.

A dedicated phone number for the purpose will be sent to the families in July.
Family members will also be able to make reservations online at 911 Memorial Site and will have a separate entry area.
