    • Aaron F. ★★★★★ I had a wonderful time over there. I recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable chilling spot in Jos
    • Promise G. ★★★★★ Good day guys. Jo's city park is a real cruise yard. All the fun and good vibes are there.the security is good. I will advice to get seats inside early because the vibes is more inside than outside and when you want to enter inside, there won't be space.the views and picture stands are mad!!! Things that happening there fro 6pm though and gets even better as the night draws near. The bad things are: 1. You can't go and take pictures if you don't take a seat and make orders 2. The speed at which the orders are met is very slow....like literally slow due to the multitude that are gathered. I literally had to wait for almost an hour to get beef suya and two hours to get grilled tilapia fish. They should increase their kitchen capacity 3. Sometimes it feels like it's only one Male waiter that's taking everyone's order and his colleagues are just focused on a single table. Kudos to him nonetheless. If you see him, please give him a good tip. 4. Some things are quite expensive or they are not worth their prices Note: you are searched as you enter ....please don't use abusive words or shout and look down on any waiter, they are trying to meet several people's orders. Please respect is reciprocal. Thank you

    • Paul J. ★★★★★ Very clean atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. Good screen games.
    • Gambo D. ★★★★★ Mees Place is a great place to take your family for a fun time out. In a quiet city like Jos, Mees Palace offers a great opportunity to go out and have some great outdoor and indoor experience curated for all ages in a serene, clean and decent environment. While it's unassuming from the entrance, the moment you get through the gate, you're welcomed by its sheer big size with various facilities including large football pitches, motor and arcade centre for kids, large hall for events, a cinema and outdoor sitting areas all around. There's also ice cream, popcorn, shawarma and other refreshments. It is family friendly and located in Rayfield, one of the prime neighborhoods in Jos. It is highly recommended.
