If you travel, this cemetery does more than carry the dead, There is a entrance building that is guarding the place!. Its architecture is history! And beautiful. Its park like feel and buildings looking on from the outside, made me want to come see what this cemetery was all about. I spent time here with God! it became a means of escape with the lord king Jesus!. Pleasently enough it became a refuge without me feeling creepy. Not only am I trying to explain experience,You have all the outdoor smells that one is attracted to. Flowers, gardens, ponds ect I talked and walked with my lord able to focus and enjoy the geography of the location and how carved out the place was with the design in buildings, plots, and landscaping of things. My thoughts wondered about over the hills and ponds,over the architecture history. The most important thing was my connection with my lord king Jesus. i enjoyed the walks down the twisted paths that stretches into very scenic routes over the park. It is beautiful and amazing. This is one of those times were I can say I will let the pictures do the talking. I never was one to hang out with the dead. But the scripture rang true, Luke 9:60. you will enjoy this cemetery just as much as a park, a cabin on the lake, the grand canyon ect ect.

I know when thinking of activities, visiting a cemetery is usually not first on the list, but this is definitely a place you should visit. I first came here 2 years ago during the beginning of autumn. I returned again today. It is really really spectacular. There's many trails, a pond , tons of history, they even have tours . It is extremely peaceful, today I even saw groups of families taking pictures, hiking , enjoying the architecture sitting on the bench, praying and just walking about. Again it's a cemetery so be respectful but if you want to take in all of the gorgeous Fall Foliage and you don't want to go to the usual parks with the massive crowds this is definitely a great place to get some fantastic autumn photos.

It's a place I like to see less reviews understand people because the cemetery doesn't exactly treat it as a real attraction. I went a few times a week and didn't find many people. Saw the trees, plants, statues and various birds inside. I feel like I can accept it as a place of interest. There are also interesting places of interest that have stories to tell. It is not even inferior to the adjacent Prospect Park, after all, this cemetery is also large. There are just no big lakes and a few medium-sized river pools. You can also experience climbing in it, with many winding paths. You can also go to the high slope like a hill, you can see the whole Manhattan, in the high place can see the Brooklyn city look.

Interesting place to have a walk. There is an office where you can get a map with different types of walk around the cemetery, so you can choose yourself what you are interested in- natural walk, art&architecture walk and history walk. For each stop you can find a small explanation on the map. We came around 9.30 am on Sunday, office was closed, but we found maps outside. Restrooms clean and tidy, were open. I found a lot of trees there, such as Japanese cherry and magnolia. I believe this place would be beautiful in spring. Walking at this place feels more like museum, not cemetery. Would visit again.

Beautiful park that hosts a rich cemetery. This is one of my favorite places in the city. The small hills and winding paths make this place a great place for a walk away from the city. Taking advantage of the rate landscape, they also organize cultural events from small online tasks about history to live performances that can be pretentious. Everything is usually quirky in a fun way. Check out their website and newsletter for details. There are some good restaurants surrounding the cemetery for a meal after a stroll.

genuinely the most beautiful cemetery I have been to so far, which is generally not a lot considering this is only the second one but this place is amazing it's peaceful, it's beautiful, the artistry shown with the mausoleums and tombstones is also incredible to look at if I lived around here I'd go here everyday

You would never think you're in Brooklyn, one of the most populous cities in the United States, inside this massive cemetery. Plus, they actually have parrots that live in the church. I'm not kidding. Definitely worth the visit. This peaceful retreat offers you some rest and relaxation inside of an often hectic borough. It feels like the Central Park of Brooklyn.

Hands down, my favorite place in the city. It’s absolutely gorgeous in all seasons; great place to explore, and learn history, and see nature all without leaving Brooklyn. They have a great selection of amazing tours for those who’d like a deeper dive into history. But even without it’s a perfect place for a stroll and to get away from the hustle.

Perfect nature with peace you feel it deep inside. Quietness and nature are awesome there. I liked most the Declaration of Independence essential paragraph. Human rights..

Went for a walk in the entire cemetery on a winter morning. I wanted a place to clear my thoughts and breath fresh air. There is a lot of history, architect and many walking lanes that you can follow and get yourself immersed.
