$20 admission to the 9/11 memorial museum?
Did my mom get that right? IT'S A TOURIST TRAP? So, they gonna sell Made in China souvenirs?

Disgusting, if true. Tourists, the real memorial is St.Paul's across the street.

1. I'm skeezed out they have a museum at the OKC National Memorial.
I don't need souvenirs from a bombing memorial. It's just...skeezy.

2. We live in a world where apparently its evil to fund things with taxes so
now we need to charge for everything. THANK YOU REPUBLICANS!!

3. The St. Paul's memorial is wonderful
It's poignant, tragic, uplifting and one of the most reverential places I have ever visited. I hope it's not true that the 9/11 memorial museum isn't a $20 charge and hope it's not full of trinkets & trash but I fear that the farther away from the 9/11/01, the more desensitized folks will get and won't mind the memorial as a profit center. Sad, isn't it?

4. Your mom is incorrect.
Admission is free, but they will accept donations.
