Adetola E. ★★★★★ : It's a very beautiful spacious fenced place for ceremony or get together.
Moses, E. ★★★★★ : So, we needed a serene environment to have our year-end Rainbow Picnic and we found this place. This place understood the assignment and it meant our needs to the fullest. This is the best place to host a private event like a small hangout among friends, proposals, picnics and small parties. You're allowed to bring in your own food and drinks too and the staff were nice, ready to help and well mannered. Also, they've got karaoke, which was lovely for the most part because we all sang our hearts out. In addition to that, they also provide you with a variety of games; board games and card games. In all, it was a fun experience at Garden 66 and I hope to return there soon.

Durosomo L. ★★★★★ : Apparently, the first museum built in Nigeria but it doesn't look it at all, or maybe it does. Poor maintenance culture has the place looking run down. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating, they made the trip worthwhile.
Ola O. ★★★★★ : Entrance fee was ₦500, they will not allow you to do videos as the rule of every museum but pictures are allowed. Mr Ariyo the tour guide/narrator was detailed and friendly and sounded like he knows his onions by how he explained ,so it was a good tour with interesting historical background,I particularly liked that he didn't sell the idea that the stones are human since they are unsure owlf whether they are or not. In all it was a good sight and the tree planted all around help in the chilling of the environment

Patrick D. ★★★★★ : I was here several years ago, and it was well just an OK place. There was nit much to show, but the little there was were quite educative and informative. One thing that would commend is the warm welcome by the staff and the detail of our tour or do i say museum guide. There is enough parking lot and the entrance is accessible with wheelchair. I don't know how much is charged now, but i think i paid #100 then per person.
Abdulraheem O. ★★★★★ : This ought to be one of the nicest places to visit in Ilorin but the negligence of the kwara state government has turned that place to something else...buildings aren't things to talk about. Although the exhibitions are worth checking out trust me!!
