The Apostle John was privileged to see and report on the heavenly city (Revelation 21:10-27). John witnessed that heaven possesses the "glory of God" (Revelation 21:11). This is the Shekinah glory or the presence of God. Because heaven has no night and the Lord is the light, the sun and moon are no longer needed (Revelation 22:5).
The city is filled with the brilliance of costly stones and crystal clear jasper. Heaven has 12 gates (Revelation 21:12) and 12 foundations (Revelation 21:14). The paradise of the Garden of Eden is restored: the river of the water of life flows freely and the tree of life is available once again, yielding fruit monthly with leaves that "heal the nations" (Revelation 22:1-2) However eloquent John was in his description of heaven, the reality of heaven is beyond a finite man's imagination to describe (1 Corinthians 2:9). Yet it is more real than this earth, which will pass away.
Heaven is a place of "no mores." There will be no more tears, no more pain, and no more sorrow (Revelation 21:4). There will be no more separation because death will be conquered (Revelation 20:6). The best thing about heaven is the presence of our Lord and Savior. We will be face to face with the Lamb of God Who loved us and sacrificed Himself so that we can enjoy His presence for eternity.

I absolutely do believe in Heaven.
I do not have to think about what it is like. We are told in the scriptures. As a matter of fact, in the book of Revelation, there is a description of Heaven's physical properties (scientifically speaking).
Yet, in other books we find writings on what to expect, no tears, sorrows, suffering and so on. So, when you are researching this topic, read all references to Heaven and you will be surprised by what you find!

Not in the tradition sense, no. If you've ever seen a movie called "What Dreams May Come" starring Robin Williams, that's what my heaven looks like. Heaven to me is whatever place makes you the happiest. It's anywhere that I can be reunited with my family, my friends, the people I love that I've lost, and possible a few people that passed before my time that I'd like to sit and talk with..... Marilyn Monroe, Robert E. Lee, William Wallace......

I don't know if I do believe in Heaven. If I did, then I would most definitely picture Heaven to be the most beautiful, most intelligent, and the ultimately sweetest place in the world.

I do believe in heaven, I can't imagine what it's like, no tears, no pain, us living in harmony, there is brief driscription in the bible about it. I know I want to get there one day, and I know I want my children and family to get there also. I also now, that in order to get there we must be saved, and not let the things of this world get to us. Good Luck with your Journey, it's not an easy one. but it is the right one.
God Bless

Yes, beautiful. Lots of beautiful mansions. Jesus said that He was going to prepare a place for us and in His Fathers house there are many mansions. Gold and fire everywhere.
In Revelation it talks about what the throne looks like:
He who sat there was a like a jasper and sardius stone in appearance, and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. Around the throne were 24 thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes and they had crowns of gold on their heads. And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal.
I can't wait, it's going to be unimaginable
Come soon Lord!!

Yes I do, I believe it must be a beautiful place, because my grandma, she passed away in 05' in a K-mart store shopping with my aunt and before she passed over she said my aunts name in awe. Therefore I think it must be a beautiful and wonderful place =].
