Charging admission fees to the National September 11 Memorial Museum is an outrage and a �slap in the face,� said one group that represents the families of victims.
�Patriotic people from all corners of the country go to teach their children something and show respect, and now they will be faced with this fee? It is outrageous. � [It�s] a slap in the face,� said Sally Regenhard, assistant chairwoman of the 9/11 Parents and Families of Firefighters and WTC Victims, in a CNN report.
The fee only furthers the image of New York City as �money-hungry,� she said in the CNN report. �It is taking advantage of tourists.�
It will also prove counterproductive, she said, and fewer will visit due to the fee.
The communications manager for the 9/11 Memorial, Anthony Guido, said the price for entry will range between $20 and $25, CNN reported.
