    • Daniel E. ★★★★ I was definitely traumatised by the SPACE TRAVEL, ₦4,500 but 500% worth it! But I would say purchasing drinks and snacks from the bar wasn't optimal, almost like going to a bank to pay just for a beer.
    • Chris C. ★★★★★ I've been driving past, but today I was really amazed. I never knew all these was here in Owerri. Beautiful environment, all the equipment working. Nice and Polite Staff too. Tho it seems a bit expensive, but the money was worth every penny. 💯😁

    • Vincent L. ★★★★★ The beauty of nature at the Arinta waterfalls Ipole Ekiti state. It's quite appalling how the overtime our leaders are yet to tap into the gigantic industry of tourism, an industry which generates thousands of inflow of dollars for nearby coastal countries like Ghana and Benin.
    • Biddie A. ★★★★★ An untapped, unexplored, undervalued & unadvertised tourism attraction in Western Nigeria. Cool place (pun intended!) to have a feel of the force of nature & the calming effect of water. Though we didn’t go beyond the 1st waterfall, we were informed that there are 6 other falls (……or floors) like the Erin-Ijesha waterfalls too. It is a worthy trip for adventure buffs, thrill-seekers & nature lovers. Also great for groups & family!
