    • Ademola M. ★★★★ Wow! They have chimpanzees, parrots, civet, hyenas, jackals, warthogs, pelicans, different species of monkeys, tortoise, crocs, lions, giraffe, horses, donkeys, camels, porcupines, snakes etc. There's an area for children to play with swings, pool, face painting... There's a clearing suitable for picnic (which I don't recommend, due to knowledge of air microbiology). Overall, the scenery is amazing!
    • Mide A ★★★★ The zoological garden was bigger than I was expecting, and also had more animals than I was also expecting. The entry free was 3000 per adult and there was no queue or wait time when I went. If you’re bringing a professional camera, you’re charged an extra fee. There was a lion there, even though it was asleep when I went to I didn’t really see it in action. I think the animals should be under shades more tho, especially the zebra; it was just there in the hot sun and I felt a little bad for it lol.

    • Yahaya Y. ★★★★★ Cubes Arcade is definitely a good choice, either you're going out on the weekends or the holidays, as it's pack with fun, laughter, excitement and connectivity.

Their services are also top notch, I'd recommend Cubes Arcade to anyone looking for that excitement, either you're going on a date or get together, Cubes Arcade is a perfect choice for that. You Rock It Cubes Arcade
    • Lola O. ★★★★ I had a very disappointing experience despite paying 50,000 for the bowling service. The equipment kept having technical issues, which caused constant interruptions and forced us to forfeit the games. To make matters worse, the staff were rude and unhelpful, and there was no effort to compensate us for the wasted time. The fuse ball game was also not working properly, adding to the frustration. Overall, not worth the money or the hassle.

    • chomie S. ★★★★ My first time here was in 2018 and it was such a cool place. Shortly after the visit, a got a job as the hover board instructor and I some times worked in the paint ball section and cared for the horses on rare occasions. It's a place to have real fun and it's very affordable. It's great for picnics too. People hold their weddings and birthdays there since just a tent and few decorations is required. The most fun thing to do there in my opinion is paintball followed by riding the hover boards. There is swimming pool too which has a small tennis court by it's side and a peacock that roams there. There is also a zoo that is not well taken care of just few animals are available and they need attention. There used to be boat riding but the waterways are blocked. Shows and concerts are held there and celebrities get invited especially during December. It's also perfect for photoshoots. During Christmas period, it's usually busy with new games and fun activities that disappear after the season. I'll definitely recommend.
    • Feyisayo O. ★★★★ The park is alluring, maintenance is quite high. It's a lovely place to relax, have picnics and birthday parties(I think with the acknowledgement of the management). Foods and drinks are very affordable (almost the same price as outside of the park). You get to pay 500naira to have access to the pool. There's also the option of horse riding and bicycle riding too.

    • Alelumhe B. ★★★★ Gamaliel Onosode Garden was named after the University of Ibadan former Chancellor. It is a very small garden. The garden is surrounded by University of Ibadan Human Resources and Development building, Mellanby Hall, Tedder Hall and the great Lord Trenchard Hall. It's a good place for students, staff and visitors to relax.
    • Daniel O. ★★★★★ Gamaliel onosode park. This is a very nice and condusive garden for friends, lovers and families. The garden is strategically located as it is opposite Mellamby hall and adjacent to Tedder hall. The garden is fondly referred to as "LOVE GARDEN" because of the beauty it displays both during the day and night. It is a cool and serene garden, a garden where one can read, relax, eat and drink, gist e.t.c Love garden is no doubt a beautiful garden that all student, staff and visitor to the premier University of ibadan needs to check out.

It is a good place for picnic during the dry season. There is a minor football pitch. I think it's just starting off.... I believe you can have your outdoor events/ceremony there too.
