A must see while in Cincinnati area! The grounds are so beautiful. It's easy to find and move around the Cemetary. You'll find now better sample of gravestone artistry in America.

Visited for the first time today and was completely blown away! The cemetery is extremely large and the grounds are beautiful. The lakes are home to swan, ducks, geese (gooses if you're fancy 😉), turtles, large snails, and huge carp. For that alone is worth the visit. Actually the place is so big you're likely gonna need multiple visits to see everything. Not a bad place for a date night with the Mrs. as well. The reason I personally wanted to visit was to step back in time. Seeing the dates on the headstones and moseliums and just getting to be near the beautiful architecture is so humbling. It's truly an amazing place to spend hours walking around enjoying the history, the masonry, the scenery, and wildlife. A ton of freemasons are buried here as well it seems, if you're into that part of history as well. I'll certainly be back!

GORGEOUS cemetery. I can easily see why this is a national historical landmark. The grounds are vast and I would highly recommend stopping at the cemetery office to talk to Pam (wonderful, lovely staff member) and pick up some maps. If there's something in particular you'd like to see, let Pam know - she is very knowledgeable and friendly. The Norman Chapel is not open except during services and special occasions like Memorial Day, so don't count on that. But there's lots of other sights to see, enough that you could easily spend an entire afternoon here. The grounds are immaculate and the landscape is loaded with lots of interesting focal points: hills, spooky trees, small bridges, tunnels, lonely paths. Tons of upright monuments, a Civil War section, incredible mausoleums, and serene ponds makes this place perfect for mediating, exercise (45 miles of paths!), and just appreciating nature and the peacefulness that comes from reflecting in a cemetery. I can't give this place enough praise, it was everything I was hoping for.

Wow. The architecture at Spring Grove Cemetery left me at a loss for words. Beautifully crafted grave stones and monuments and mausoleums provided so many sights to see and left me wondering about the people interred with them and what their lives were like. Old cemeteries are a treasure of history and ancestry.

Wow, what beautiful grounds and interesting architecture of the crypts and grave markers. We were just driving by and the buildings looked so intriguing we just had to stop. And a big shout out to security guard Frank Evans. He saw us looking at a building, stopped and took the time to point us to other interesting locations. A heartfelt thanks to Frank for the assistance.

Spring Grove Cemetery on Sunday was a bustling place, filled with visitors and walkers, who came to take a casual stroll. I went along the perimeter loop, which was about 5 miles long, and was amazed by the stunning collection of grave stones, monuments, and mausoleums. The array of trees and plants was equally impressive, and it was a wonderful experience to witness the diversity of nature. I was also pleasantly surprised by how many people were out enjoying the park on a Sunday, and I felt grateful to be in such a beautiful and peaceful place.

I have been twice, once in 2004 and again this year - both times for the 17 year cicada brood X. It is such a cool place to walk and explore!

I've been to a number of different "park" cemeteries including Hollywood in Richmond VA and Mount Auburn near Boston as well as the Pere Le Chaise in Paris. This cemetery matches up to those in terms of the quality of the groundskeeping and the ability to navigate around the cemetery. The grounds here are beautiful and it's clear that the groundskeeping staff works hard to keep this place in excellent condition as a sign of respect to those who are laid to rest here. Salmon Chase (Governor and Supreme Court), Rudolph Wurlitzer (founder of the Wurlitzer company), Bernard Henry Kroger (founder of the Kroger supermarket chain), both Procter and Gamble. It's a revered place and it was a positive experience to visit these graves and pay tribute to those who came before.

I tried to call to report someone who works here SCREAMING at me, and the lady at the funeral home who I called also didn't care. Stop hiring such absolute jerks. This isn't the first time an incident has occurred, and it would be nice if employees here actually cared. I thought my loved one would be buried in a nice place but the majority of people who work here are horrible, awful, rude people. DO BETTER! I have never given a bad review so know that I mean it when I say they need to hire kinder people. Spring Grove is a beautiful cemetery, but with an inconsiderate and rude staff.

Huge cemetery and botanical garden. I like the really old monuments .. it's art and history all in one. Plus the botanical aspect .... mature trees, flowering bushes and flowers and lakes. This makes it ideal for critters ... birds, rabbits, squirrels, deer. Man made waterfall and a fountain, marble statues and crosses are beautiful. some people find cemeteries sad or scary but it's a great place to take a nature walk or sit and read. While i was there walking around enjoying the perfect weather and playing with my camera ... saw a couple having a picnic and laying on a blanket under the trees. I felt it was a lovely safe area but in the world we live ... always be careful as a woman alone. Its a huge place so be careful not to walk so far and get turned around or lost.

I worked with Ms. Venita Brown and she treated me like family. My experience with everything was exceptional because of her kindness. With everything that was going on in my life, I feel like God put her in my life at the right time and for that, I am very grateful. She was very attentive and I didn’t feel rushed. Thank you for making my difficult time not so difficult. The cemetery is clean and well kept. The online directions make finding my loved one very easy.

We were just driving by this place and saw nice architectural places and peaceful environment.

This is an impressive historical cementary with rolling hills. The grounds and buildings are beautifully maintained. The provided services are perfect. A fine place for a dignified funeral and a restful place to visit a loved one.

This Cemetery is absolutely gorgeous. It's a wonderful place to be honored and remain.

Spring Grove Cemetery is a peaceful sanctuary! This historic cemetery boasts beautiful landscapes, serene ponds, and remarkable architecture. It's a perfect place for contemplation and quiet walks. The staff is respectful, and the grounds are well-maintained. A place of both beauty and historical significance, ideal for honoring loved ones and appreciating nature's tranquility.

Beautiful cemetery! It gives you vintage feeling once you drive the unique big tall tombs with some beautiful designs (angels, etc.). We drove the cemetery around finding old style to the newest one. Yes, this cemetery is really huge! Nice ponds, beautiful tulips all over.

I have a fair bit of family buried here from over a century ago all the way to more recent times. I'm very impressed with the great maintenance of my familys grave from ages ago. At most graveyards, they do not care as much for the older tombs, but Spring Grove definitely goes above and beyond regardless of the age of the grave. Thank y'all for y'all's work! I appreciate it!

The cemetery and the arboretum and gardens surrounding it absolutely deserves its status as a National Historic Landmark. I am very proud that it has served as the final resting place for members of my family for more that 150 years.

We enjoyed our peaceful walk through the cemetery.

It's a gorgeous and tranquil place far removed from those of haunted or eerie sort. However it is an absolute maze. Nothing that your smart phone can't handle. For anyone into photography of cemeteries this is a treasure trove of scenes. For anyone paying last respects or memories it's perfect. I saw deer and wild turkey while exploring. Never had time to learn much about it's history or any well known or iconic graves but I'm sure there's lots of info online that you can arm yourself with before you go if you want to.

Even on a dreary, rainy day, the artistic beauty of this cemetery could not be dampened. It was hauntingly beautiful and truly worth the visit. I would have loved to visit when the sun was shining and I could have read some of the beautiful tombstones. Most definitely a place I would visit again!

Wow, what a beautiful place, particularly on a vibrant autumn day. I have no idea how good this place is as a cemetery. But, as a beautiful and historic tourist attraction, it is top notch. Of course, there are plenty of famous Cincinnatians interred here. The names are Kroger, Proctor and Gamble. It's fun just walking or driving around to see what you can find. Of course, there is no admission fee.

This cemetery is BEAUTIFUL and so big and sprawling. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the unique older gravestones. It's so big you could genuinely spend hours wandering.

The gorgeous and peaceful resting grounds and arboretum are such a beautiful part of Historic Cincinnati. The plots can be a little bit of a challenge to locate but are all so beautiful to admire. You can stop and park your car and walk around or just enjoy a slow drive through the paths. Hours vary depending on season but they are open year round. I love to come in the fall as the leaves are changing. Makes for some stunning photos.

Very nice architecture. We walked around a bit and found Thomas Huges (created Huges Stem HighSchool). It’s a beautiful place. I love how nice, clean and virtuous the place is. Plants, bushes, flower etc. are clean & watered!

A quintessential example of a "Rural" Cemetery. A fantastic place to view amazing funerary art from all around the world. Stones made in Scotland, France and Italy are all found here. The chapel is a gothic gem. The winding roads, ponds, and dedicated green space make for a powerfully peaceful setting. Don't miss the Spongebob stones. They are for two sisters who both served in the armed forces.

Spring Grove Cemetery took my breath away! This is not your ordinary cemetery. This place is packed with extremely stunning fields of magnificent architecture. The nature that surrounds the cemetery is perfect for photographing special celebrations and for making fond memories with that special someone. It has such a unique charm to it that you can feel in the air as you’re walking through. I would highly recommend going on a Sunday morning or early afternoon.

As a wedding photographer/videographer I have spent many a beautiful day capturing stunning images of my wedding couples here in Spring, Summer and Autumn. I am always in awe of the beauty and history of this place. Great way to relax and get in touch with God and nature A wonderful treasure in Cincinnati
