Muhammad-Sanni I. ★★★★★ : Lovely cinema. Though if u ask me the prices of popcorn and other stuffs are kinda high now. Wonder if it's cos of the new VAT rate.
Suleiman I. ★★★★★ : One of the best cinemas in Abuja right now. Had a great experience! The hall was lively with lots of people, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. New movie tickets were ₦9,000, and you can easily get snacks, small chops, popcorn, and drinks. The toilets were clean and well maintained too. Overall, it was a great outing and I’d definitely visit again.

EFE O ★★★★★ : Nice, however the maintenance culture here is really poor. Mgt needs an over haul
Ojo B. ★★★★★ : It doesn't make sense to pay for a ticket & be forcing bigi as a 'come-along. I don't like bigi. most people dont... sell your movie (only) ticket alone.. let people buy any drink they want.

Adesiyan O. ★★★★★ : This is truly a fun place! We had a great time here. There is a game for everyone, both kids and adults. I loved every bit of it, and my kids have not stopped talking about the experience. The food and drinks are relatively cheap and nice. I would advise anyone intending to visit to go early during the festive season, as you may have to queue for up to 40 minutes or even over an hour for some games. The wait is worth it though but it limits the amount of time you can spend exploring all games and fun places. I absolutely love this place!
SAMUEL P. ★★★★★ : The fact that all outdoor rides was free is really exciting but once it was past morning omorr the population was scary I waited an hour plus for a ride it was stressful. I'd suggest that the management figure out a way to have multiple cash points to help reduce the crowd, you can barely purchase anything without spending over 15-30 on a payment queue. Overall, it was very fun though, I did the pendulum and swing rides it was a nice experience....
