About
The Empty Sky Memorial stands in Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey, and honors the New Jersey residents who died in the attacks of September 11, 2001. It is also known as the 9/11 Memorial Jersey City.
What you will see
The memorial is built around two parallel walls. They are aligned with the former World Trade Center towers, so the layout itself points back to the skyline that was lost. Visitors walk between and beside the walls, and the setting makes the connection between the park, the water and the Manhattan skyline across the harbor easy to feel.
Planning your visit
- The memorial is open 24 hours a day, so you can visit at any time of day or night.
- It sits within Liberty State Park, so the park's open grounds and views are part of the experience.
- The address is Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ 07305.
Because the memorial is a place of remembrance, it suits a quiet, unhurried visit. Many people come to read the walls and take time to reflect before exploring the rest of the park.
