It's not sacred ground.

Its the site of mass death and is a defacto cemetery for the ones never found.

How is $24 ridiculous?

Most museum prices are around $20 it seems.

Same for zoos, exhibits, etc

Curious: were these people complaining when others profited from selling 9/11 related items?

$24 to get into something paid for with tax dollars is ridiculous. If it was a private enterprise, then I would say charge what you want and let Free Enterprise rule.

Of course, we are in the era of government managed healthcare (ahem, nurse) so I guess I shouldn't be the least bit surprised that this is accepted... InB4poliboard...

Would you rather they pay the bills with more of your tax dollars?

This is a bit different than the average museum or zoo.

I am a little curious who the target audience is. there are probably a thousand museums I'd rather visit.



I'm sorry, but if you're going to make this claim you need to name the 1000 other museums...if you can.

Yeah I've been to Auschwitz. Definitely no gift shop. I think the idea that the concentration camps are largely in tact makes the idea of selling something there less tolerable. A museum feels different but I still understand it feeling dirty.

Does Pearl Harbor have a gift shop? I'd imagine it does.
