Reviews of Hurricane Katrina Memorial (Tourist Attraction)

Jill Hinkle

Nice little memorial, hard to believe how much water came ashore.

Kemper Fencible

Respect

Loria Pitre

It was over whelming to see all of the artifacts in the glass case left behind by the hurricane. At the same time it was beautiful memorial.

Omar O'Besso

Pretty impressive

Christopher Mason

I was at the Sea food festival... Hot... crowded... But fun

Augusta Gordon

A very emotional feeling to realize what the people faced to what it is now.

Karen Harrison

It was really nice.

Mike Szaroleta

Beautiful and powerful. Could use some maintenance.

Leonor Rust

It was a pretty memorial in a very nice park. However, does need some touching up.

Aimee Yup

The memorial is beautiful and very eye opening. I highly recommend visitors to the area to go by this memorial. It is a great reminder of not only the devastation that Biloxi and surrounding areas went through but also of their strength and perseverance.

Kathy TurtleToo Kent

Beautiful monument. Bolixi Town Green, hard reminders of the devistation hurricanes can cause.

Hugo Hackenbush

Homeless folks meandering about. Empty alcohol bottles on the ground. The memorial itself is OK. It's in a park / open space with a gazebo.

Gerald Bryant

It hold so much in our hearts.

Amy Mathews

A list of those who died or are still missing from Katrina, along with a pole showing the water line. I was pregnant with my daughter when we fled from and lost everything to Katrina. Her brothers still remember it like it just happened but now that she is a teenager, it is important for her to know what everyone went through.

Chasity Holmes

It's a very humbling and beautiful memorial, but could definitely use some upkeep. There also seems to be a homeless/drug use problem at the tree. Men and women were high and sleeping at the memorial with about 4 cops directly across the street! I enjoyed it, but would have more had there not been trash everywhere and people doing drugs 10 feet from my kids.

Brandy Sims

Informative

Bob Bakken

Always impressive. Especially that it was built in five days. A marker also shows the high water mark. Cannot imagine that water got that high.

Lily Cookson

What a surreal place. Heartfelt

Mike Moss

A nice work of art in honor of those who didn't make it. Worth the short walk from the parking area to check it out.

First time seeing it. It's a deep part of history

Omar Newsome

Very educational did not water got that high

Alan Schultz

Too many homeless people hanging around. Very uncomfortable.

Trevor Bingham

Pretty cool display of some of the debris that was found.

julian desemar jr

Liked it but sad

Diana Dopp

It is small but it packs a powerful statement. Just a moving tribute!

Michael Brown

Very small and unimpressive.

Steven Capobianco

What we went through and the lives that were lost and the lives that were saved. How the people of the coast came together. I believe it should have been a larger monument. But our politicians rather in large their pockets. Some people still are yet to recover from it. And lots of family and friends will never see each other again. But you can for sure bet that our city, county and state leaders are doing great. JS. Greed is a terrible thing. But in the end we all get what we sowed. I pray for all of the people, friends, family that this storm affected.

A little run down but still makes one reflect back on the hurricane and the damage it inflicted.

ALFredo C

The true Ground Zero where Hurricane Katrina made its 3rd and Final Landfall Waveland, Mississippi on East and not New Orleans. It’s Non-Profit works only on Donations. The Guides were so friendly and helpful that I will return again.

It was very thought-provoking and brought back memories of that time along the Gulf Coast. Sad to see some of the deterioration of the memorial.

Joshua Harrison

It was clean and a nice stop to walk and stretch, after the long drive to gamble! Check it out it's interesting enough.

Rob Umberger

Writing a review for a memorial is a bit difficult. The exhibit had a good link to the local community as it displayed items contributed from some of the people and families impacted by Katrina. The exhibit was tastefully done, it was in a good location, and definitely conveyed the impact Katrina had on the community.

Bruce Clarke
