    • 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.

    • Cynnie C. ★★★★★ The visit was a beautiful experience, but the park's infrastructure showed signs of wear, with dilapidated buildings and security that could be improved. Fortunately, a World Bank-funded rehabilitation project is underway, which I hope will not only enhance the facilities but also lead to an increase in animal numbers and better care for them upon completion.
    • Michael E. ★★★★★ It's an old park and not perfectly maintained for commerce, and international tourism. But it serves as an alternative lifestyle to local and international tourists like me who have come all the way to Jos to document history. It is expected that as a national park, it should be better maintained and positioned for international tourism. I sponsored 5 other persons to this tour.
