The Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania stands as a solemn tribute to the courage and resilience of ordinary Americans who became heroes on a fateful day in our nation's history. Visiting this hallowed ground with my family was a deeply moving experience. The museum, though photo-restricted, tells a powerful story of bravery and sacrifice. It commemorates the passengers and crew who, in the face of unspeakable terror, made an unthinkable decision: to confront the forces of darkness and prevent further devastation. Their selflessness and determination to protect others embody the spirit of our country. Walking through the memorial grounds, you can't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for these individuals who gave their lives to safeguard countless others. The serene landscape, including the Field of Honor and the Wall of Names, offers a place for reflection and remembrance. It's a reminder that even in our darkest hours, the American spirit shines bright. The Flight 93 National Memorial isn't just a must-see for Americans; it's a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the enduring values that unite us all. It's a place that honors the past while inspiring hope for a better future. Every American should make this pilgrimage to pay tribute to the heroes of Flight 93 and to reaffirm our shared commitment to freedom and resilience. Playground: None here. This is a hallowed monument so I don’t see why this question would apply here. Restrooms: There are no restrooms inside the museum but there is a clean one nearby for visitors. Dog-friendliness: Dog friendly Picnic area: None. I don’t see why anyone would picnic in these hallowed grounds.
We were driving on the interstate and saw the sign. Spontaneously we exited. Not sure what to expect. The memorial was amazingly well done. While we expected a quick detour we spent a few hours. Flight over path/overlook, Tower of voices, Memorial plaza & wall of names. The visitor center does an excellent job retelling the stories of flight 93. Way more than we realized. Very quiet, tranquil and thoughtful site. The nuances of the design and intentionality of each part is amazing. Even a decent hiking path that interacts with the site. Talk to the rangers and volunteer guides who give unique insights. Highly recommended and respectfully done!
This was an incredible opportunity everyone should experience. On October 7th, we traveled from Cumberland, Maryland, with a group of Seniors. We had a lovely trip. The only down part was the staff in the visitors center. They were very short with guests and had no patients answering questions. They were also talking negatively about other staff members. However, the young woman presenting at the wall of names was incredible and patient with everyone who came that day. Restrooms: They were clean and modern.
It was a very dark day in our country's history and was made into the most beautiful memorial. Words can not be expressed for how we felt walking around and remembering 9/11. Absolutely a must to go see and walk the grounds but to also pray that it never happens again...anywhere.
We spent almost 2-1/2 hours here. It was amazing. Make sure you sit on the bench at the tower of voices. Take your time going through and really take everything in. This has to be one of the most memorable memorials. The flight path can bring you to your knees. It definitely humbles you.
For those old enough to remember will bring a tear to your eye. I remember coming when it was just a fence. I remember talking with the owner of Shorty's who told our group what he saw that fateful day. Never forget. The new memorial and voices tower are done respectfully. To my Vmax brethren I will never forget.
I've been to the Flight 93 Memorial 11 times. My first time was with my dad, shortly after 9/11 and awhile I waited to ship to basic training. To see where the memorial started and where is today is truly amazing! It was a simple steel wire fence, maybe 40 feet long and 12 feet high. I remember so many stuffed animals, pictures, letters and other heart felt items from friends and family. Today I'm proud to be VP of Rescue 343-2 Memorial which is a tribute Memorial to 9/11 out of Ohio and all who passed on 9/11. We will NEVER FORGET!
This was a very nice memorial for the hero’s of flight 93. The park rangers and other staff really care about their work there. The experience is emotional and pays respect to the victims of flight 93. There was one park ranger that we watched give the presentation of the events that happened that day. He presented very well and kept all of us engaged until the very end. There was never a point a time where you didn’t feel like he cared about what happened that day and that he was helping their heroic actions alive each time he tells the story. This is a must see place if you are ever in the area. Restrooms: There are plenty of restrooms on location. Some in the visitor center and others down by the crash site.
Probably one of the best done/most moving/touching memorials I've been to. Every aspect is intriguing, thought provoking and an amazing oumage to the heroes of United flight 93. So glad I saw the sign on the highway and decided to deviate from my route for a visit. The highlight of my visit to Pennsylvania and I can't recommend it enough.
This is an experience that I think k everyone should see. Went into the visitors center and felt a crazy calm in the facility. They actually have some recordings from the event available for you to listen to on headphones. The memorial plaza is closer to the crash site. There is a bridge, and you can hear the wind hum through the rails. The experience is melancholy . Restrooms: In two locations on the property.
