Unless you bundle this trip with a stop off at Coulon Beach, it really isn't worth the drive into the suburbs. More

The entire cemetery is nice...there's an Asian area that is pretty to walk around. The actual grave site of Jimi Hendrix is fun to visit...it's very well done and there are quotes and pictures that have been carved into the stone. Worth checking out if you are a Hendrix fan but it's a drive from the city so you really... More

I was headed somewhere else and saw this on google maps before I left and decided to check it out. People who saw the photos knew exactly what this was and were very enthusiastic - much more than I was. More

Not worth the gas. Many other states have grave sites that are worth the trip. More

When you turn into the cemetery from Monroe Ave, you're immediately presented with this large memorial for Jimi Hendrix. Park off to the side (but not on the grass), walk over, pay your respects, take a few photos, and get the hell out, right? Not really. There's some cool art on the walls of the memorial. And if you're the... More

Seeing the Jimi Hendrix Memorial was a beautiful EXPERIENCE. I recommend a GPS to guide you to the cemetery as there are many turns. This is not a large cemetery so walking shoes are not necessary. We parked very close and the blacktop paving made for a smooth walk right up to the monument which can be clearly seen upon... More
