A beautiful place, and emotional

I took a tour through this part with a nationally licensed tour guide (which I recommend) who helped me understand the city in a deeper way. We walked from Ground Zero, past the Dome and through the park. It was a powerful experience. In the park, I was honored to be approached by multiple groups of local school children who asked us to join their prayers for world peace. It was a very poignant moment juxtaposing the future and the past.

    Tragic location the Memorial Park is very well done!
    This whole area to include the A-bomb dome and museum is incredibly sad yet very well done. The park is decent sized and has several memorials throughout and many signs with tragic descriptions. You can easily spend an hour here viewing the memorials and reading, I then recommend going to the museum to learn more. The park itself is free and easily accessible to everyone.

    wide open space.
    the park contains the children's peace monument, the cenotaph and the museum, which we viewed and visited. there is also a hall and a mound. the park helps one process the feelings that arise from what is exhibited. a lovely sunny autumn day. many groups of school children arriving.
