Andrew Thomson: Beautiful for a walk and birding. Climb the tower for a city view!!

Christa Cokorogianis: This is the most beautiful cemetery around, which is why we have my family there.However we find it a problem when all the site seers, walkers and photographers poke around while we are at our graveside mourning the people who have passed.Show some respect please. 🙏

Paulo Delta: Lugar fantástico nem lembra que é um cemitério 🙏

Jeff Muller: Hey photographers. Bring your models. They absolutely love having people shoot there. Show up often

Jake Chvatal: One of the most beautiful places I've been in America. Walking paths curve up and down, in and out of beautiful rolling hills in between wonderfully sentimental gravestones, many with distinctive personalities and messages that moved me. Visit a couple of hours before sunset - the light weaves through the trees, hills and architecture to frame and highlight a different part of the cemetery at each moment.Many members of the who's who of Boston in the last two-hundred years are buried here - look up a visible name and chances are fairly high that you'll be able to find a Wikipedia page for the gravestone's dedicatee. So much history is honored here, and the plot is planned so beautifully to honor it.Don't miss the Mary Baker Eddie monument at sunset or the tombs on the lakefront at the right of the cemetary. Meander - this place is made for wandering, for pacing and pausing and thinking about life, death, and what matters in between.

Paige Jones: This cemetery is the best that I have ever been to. At the tower, you can see the skyline of Boston. I would recommend to anyone who wants to take a relaxing walk and catch some views. There are black squirrels there as well, which was awesome to see.

Akos Szilvasi: One of the most beautiful cemetery and arboretum in the country. Ideal walking destination. The reception offers a map with famous people’s graves. The crew maintains the arboretum better than most folks’ garden. Reading the tombstones offers history and education. There are several ponds, rare birds, a recently renovated chapel. One can drive in but no dogs or bikes allowed. Google Maps can help you find your way around.

張秀秀: good

Sean Jackson: The My Auburn Cemetery Solstice show was beautiful and peaceful and a great time for reflection . It’s only there for a short time.

Maninder Singh: Best place to see fall colors right in Boston area, You can slowly drive or walk, Be careful not to drive off roads. Be respectful to the graves. You might witness Turkeys on trails. Best view of Boston skyline from the tower but its closed during winter season

Robert Decca: My son is buried there. Its a historical land mark.

Rommel Lagmay: This is probably the most beautiful cemetery that I’ve been to. This garden cemetery is very charming and though it’s not usual to hang out in a cemetery, this could be that place where you can relax away for the busy and chaotic place like Boston and Cambridge.

Greg Catcott: Beautiful grounds. Notable people's memorials. Spectacular views, especially from the tower. Look forward to visiting in the spring but not staying permanently. :}

Samantha Bates Church: Tranquil escape. It feels more like a park than a traditional cemetery. It’s always quiet when I go and the grounds are perfect for a long relaxing stroll. The weeping birches are my favorite, it makes me feel like a child in a fort when you walk inside their canopies. Excellent place to take photos and great place to bird watch. The tower is a cool place to bring visitors to Boston- the views of the city are incredible. It’s a great place to bring a book and spend an afternoon. It feels like a secret garden.

Mike Monteiro: Very nice cemetery minus the contemporary inserts

J. Li: My favorite place in Cambridge

Kazi Mukitul: Great place to visit in fall. It has over 93000 graves and It's free to visit. It is also the first rural landscape cemetery in the USA

Michael J. Millenheft III: Beautiful place, especially in autumn

Marina C: I’ve always found cemeteries spooky but Mount Auburn Cemetery is actually very nice to walk around. Beautiful to view the fall foliage as well.

Eric Mankin: Just saw the Widow of Willesden at ART and it was fabulous, even if I didn't catch all the references. Just like 1776 last year, the show made me want to know more about what happened. Zadie Smith's metered play was so funny and clever.

Gail Stewart: Very fun show- The Wife of Wilesden.

Maggie Morio: Every play I see there is unique, special and different than the traditional Theater. The director is very astute and extremely knowledgeable on the staff they are presenting to the public. My most memorable experience there was summer with the production of 1776. Absolutely suburb. Right now is rehearsing for Broadway. I am sure that will get some Tony awards. Be curious and find out what is in their repertoire. You will never regret it.

annette jacobs: Not a bad seat in the house.

Christian Scott: Broadway quality productions in Harvard Square!I'm especially appreciative of their work with schools, my students love the Life of Pi and 1776

S BoweRs: Had the opportunity to see Life of Pi here. The show was incredible. I was happy that the facility still had mask mandates in place,especially during the heavy flu/cold season. Seating was very comfortable and all accommodations were clean.

Rick Johnson: Great performance of "Life of Pi"

mike d: The show we saw was great and the staff was helpful but all of the restrooms were "all gender" which was awkward

Craig Minoff: Incredible production of Life of Pi. Other shows have been solid too, but this one took the visuals and stage direction to new levels. Annoying that you still have to wear a mask and the snack selection is middling.

Quentin Fennessy: Shows from the ART often end up on Broadway and often win awards. Seriously. The Waitress first played here, and the Jagged Little Pill. This is a place for first class drama in the Boston area.

Stephen Dysert: the recent Life of Pi production is everything theater is supposed to be, and perhaps the best blend of high tech wizardry and dramatic storytelling I’ve seen.

Chris Grace: Life of Pi was amazing! A.R.T. presentations always amaze.

Curt Raffi: The American Repertory Theater on Brattle Street in the Loeb Drama Center is a real treasure of Boston theater. Forget the bustle of the city, enjoy amazing performances in an intimate 550 person theater all set in a relaxing side street atmosphere off of Harvard Square. Where else can you get amazing dinner and stroll calmly to the theater and never feel like you're getting pushed and shoved from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Peter Squires: Thoughtful well staged productions

Dan Drago: Very nice venue, medium sized, friendly staff. Came here to see Life of Pi.

Cesar Palma: This is a review of -LIFE OF PI- which I was lucky to attend on December 21st. What propelled me to get a ticket was an article in the Harvard gazette with the headline "Scene stealing puppets of "Pi". That unfortunately was not the case. The only thief that stole the show was the set designer (Tim Hatley) which created two magical moments: the appearance of the boat and the protagonist jumping into the ocean and bobbing mid torso a few seconds later. It would not have had the same effect without the lightning design (Tim Lutkin) and Video Design (Andrzej Goulding). A competent cast ensemble with outstanding performances by Avery Glymph and Sathya Sridharan in multiple roles.I believe the puppets could steal the show if the puppeteers were to be robed in black so that they blend into the background, a device that would have allowed the animals to come into their own. The most successful pairing between handler and puppet were the glowing fish. The rest were disjointed and did not move like their counterparts in real life. Zebras do not move like horses and bengal tiger are majestic not disjointed.The other problem I found was the in the casting. Pi we are told by an official is a sixteen year old boy who is hiding under the hospital bed, and when he finally comes from under it we get someone who appears to be in his early 30's, and with a physique that looked pretty good for having spent 227 days at sea, malnourished and in the company of a Bengal tiger. As competent a performer as Mr. Adi Dixit is, especially in his physical dexterity I had a credibility issue from the start. The initial interaction with the two officers seems to be playing for laughs rather than the traumatic experience he had undergone.Regardless of my reservations I urge you to make yours as soon as possible. It was an uplifting experience, full of awe and a full fledge collaboration of actors and puppeteers.

Daniel Spiess: Always a pleasure. Productions are of high quality. No seat is bad in this small theater.

John Dowd: Never seen a bad show here.Great program for kids here

Kevin Mastro: Just an absolutely wonderful experience, each and every time. Be it for a student performance or the next big show on Broadway, we are lucky to have such a fantastic theater so close by!Thanks ART for everything you do!!

Nick Felker: I saw a production of In the Heights here. The show was said to start at 7:30 but wasn't very punctual. The show was good, with solid production value. They didn't have any playbills though, which was disappointing. Still, a show here is well worth the ticket price.
