Host Your Next Event in the Beauty of Nature!

From the elegance of the Krippendorf Lodge to the secluded, peaceful retreat in the woods that is Groesbeck Estate (and everything in between), we can help you make your gathering unforgettable.

For weddings, anniversaries, celebrations of life, family reunions, baby and bridal showers, and retirement parties, our two historic venues at Rowe Woods are the perfect settings for your best memories!

Cincinnati Nature Center also provides a stunning natural backdrop for your next professional event—from inspiring outdoor meetings to corporate retreats, relaxing hikes, and team-building opportunities.
