The twin reflecting pools are each nearly an acre in size and feature the largest man-made waterfalls in North America.
The memorial features the names of 2,983 victims from the September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993 attacks.
There are 400 swamp white oak trees planted around the memorial, symbolizing resilience and renewal.
The Survivor Tree, a Callery pear tree, was rescued from the rubble and now stands as a symbol of hope and resilience.
The museum's entrance pavilion is designed to resemble a partially collapsed building, reflecting the tragedy and resilience of the site.
The 'Tribute in Light' is an annual art installation that projects two beams of light into the sky, symbolizing the Twin Towers.
The museum descends seven stories underground, taking visitors to the bedrock level where the Twin Towers once stood.
The museum houses the 'Last Column,' a 36-foot steel beam that was the final piece removed from Ground Zero.
Over 3 million people from around the world visit the memorial and museum each year.
