About 9/11 Memorial

The 9/11 Memorial in Jersey City is a place to pause and remember the victims of the September 11 attacks. Jersey City sits directly across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan, so remembrance here has a close, local meaning for many visitors.

Tips for your visit

Plan a short, quiet stop. Most people spend a few minutes to half an hour, depending on how long they want to reflect.
Be respectful of other visitors and of anyone who comes here to remember someone. Keep voices low and take photos with care.
Check current access and opening hours before you go, especially if the memorial lies within a park or gated area.
Jersey City is linked to Manhattan by the PATH train, so the memorial is easy to combine with a wider day out on either side of the river.
