The One World Observatory is on the 100th, 101 and 102 floors of this beautiful Skyscraper. This is followed by Foundations where you'll experience an up close look at the very bedrock that the building stands on. Next you will get acquainted with the men and women who built the 1 WTC by a program called Voices which tells you about their personal stories. This makes it the tallest highrise in the western hemisphere and fourth highest in the whole world.Īs you enter the lobby of the building you are welcomed at the Global Welcome center by a giant video board with greetings in a wide variety of languages and a real time world map where visitors can see their hometown. This number symbolically represents the year of 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed. The building's height was specifically planned including the antenna to reach 1,776 feet high. This uniquely designed building gives an illusion of glass twisting and turning as it reaches for the heavens. The outside of the New Freedom tower draws your eyes to the way its beautiful glass exterior glistens and sparkles on a sunny day. The names of the victims who died in this senseless attack are inscribed in a Bronze panel that surrounds them. These pools are close to an acre in size displaying waterfalls that are the largest man made waterfalls in the North America. Now there are memorial twin reflecting pools sitting on the spot where the twin towers once stood. The new tower shares the same numerical number one with the Twin Tower on the north side of the 16 acre site which was hit and destroyed during 9/11. It stands directly on the site of the WTC 6 building which was severally damaged from fallen debris when the original WTC Tower 1 fell on it during the terrorist attack of September 11th 2001. The Freedom Tower observation deck opened its doors to the public on May 29th 2015 on the 100, 101 and 102 floors of the beautiful new One World Trade Center Tower also known as The New Freedom Tower. This is a memorable attraction in so many ways.
