Very cool quick stop. The top of the memorial wall is representitive of the water level during Katrina. There is an encased art exhibit of things found in the debris that is emotionally provoking... And the revival of the trees into sculpture is beautiful and photo worthy.

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.

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.

Very important memorial, commemo the damage and loss that the city of Biloxi suffered during and after hurricane Katrina. I felt like this place deserves some better maintenace, as it seemed a bit tired, with some damage and wear of the plaza and the surroundings

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

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.

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.

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.

Very educational did not water got that high

Review №27

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.

Its 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.

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.

There is more that could be mentioned about the Katrina wall also the hurricane Camille should have something also because it did impact Mississippi and Alabama coast.
