I got an appt via website, no entrance fee just donation. I gave $10.00. The area where it is located had a lot of construction, signage was not clear. I am form New York, so being there was bitter sweet. Nice to see NYC heal by re-building towers. However, I struggle not seeing the NYC skyline that I grew up... More
