    Words alone cannot describe my anticipation prior to coming here. The craziest thing is I was blown away by what I found. My expectations were thrown out the window and I was left with nothing but awe. I could give a description to help you understand how fun it is to be here but that won't be doing it any justice. So I implore you, if you love nature and adventure, you should definitely come here!

    I love this place, it has a peaceful environment and it gives us the chance to feel nature and be adventurous. It is that place you want to leave a busy and noisy city or environment to. They have playgrounds for children and adult plus other interesting adventurous activities. I recommend this place for companies or institutions looking forward to build a strong and connected team. Security is strong, it's a safe place. I took this pictures myself.

    The Legon Botanical Garden is super amazing. Best time to get there is the early morning between 8am and 12noon when tje weather isn't too hot. There is a canopy walk, beautiful colourful play ground for children and a rope walk session. One of ultimate best time places in Accra.

    Great place to come to for a short day activity. The canopy walk was alright, would be better if there was a little more to see since it's closer to the city or higher up. The canoe ride was very short but make sense for the price. The best part was the high ropes, it's not very high up. I suggest going a little early if you want to do all yhe activities as the close at 5pm on the weekday.

    This is my favorite place on google maps!Surprisingly being at the heart of Accra, it’s the only place you can feel you are out of Accra. The lake, the canopy walk, the high rope obstacles with the garden is so much to enjoy. Needed at thus time of environmental protection awareness We enjoyed ourselves Great space for nature view

    Cool environment. A good number of activities to engage in especially at the High Ropes section. Scary initially but thrilling if you love adventure. I had a great tour guide / assistant. If you are not fit please don't try it. 😂😂😂

    Nice experience, clean environment, and staff were polite.

  • 4/5 Jim G. 7 years ago on Google • 46 reviews
    Great fun for the kids. A lot of climbing frames and trampolines and zip lines and so on to play on, with the addition of a (paid for on top of the entrance fee) obstacle course. Would have given 5 stars but this addition is a little pricey in my opinion. Still, well worth spending a few hours with the kids.

    The atmosphere was serene, with cool breeze, it was like having a tete-a-tete with mother nature, the chirping of the birds was melodious, the attendant were very friendly and nice. The canopy walk was quite scary but fun, the canoe ride was fun, too.

  • 4/5 Funmi A. 1 year ago on Google
    This is probably my 5th time here taking a friend. The obstacle course is my all time favorite place. It brings out the best and worse in people . Visited on the public holiday so it was quite active. They need to fumigate the obstacle area, if that's possible..lots of insect. Would recommend for anyone looking for a fun hangout. There's a canopy walk, a park, u can go on a short boat ride and you will get beautiful pictures from here. They have a kiddies obstacle course too. You can get popcorn, ice cream and fruit lollies to buy. They also sell drinks, water and I think kebabs

    This Garden is filled with every excitment you may want for your kids and even yourselves as adults. From a mini dam, to a rope course , to a picnic park, which can't host over 5,000 crowds at a time. And its entirely safe. It only has one way in and one way out kind of security. Try out that place

  • 4/5 Gaia F. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The park is nice, a quiet and green area in Accra..the entrance costs 10 yields (about 2 euros) and then you can opt for a walk on a series of suspension bridges, a high rope course (adventure park style ) or a ride on the lake .. I tried the adventure course and it was nice, it costs 30 give the one at the base height and 60 the highest one .. if you want to do it wear tennis shoes (otherwise they won't let you do it) and gloves (otherwise you can buy them with 20 yield there) It is a bit difficult and tiring, especially in the sun but if you go there I think it is worth doing :) The garden is nice, a green and quiet area in Accra..The entrance fee is 10 cedis and then you can decide to do a canopy walk, an high ropes course, a tour on the lake ... I tried the high ropes course and it was nice, it's 30 cedis the lower one and 60 the higher. ..If you go there I suggest you to wear trainers (otherwise they will not allow you to do it) and gloves (they cost 20 cedis there) It's a bit difficult and tiring, expecially under the sun but you should try it :) (Original) Il parco è carino, un'area tranquilla e verde ad Accra..l'entrata costa 10 cedi(circa 2 euro) e poi si può optare per una camminata su una serie di ponti sospesi, un percorso ad alta fune(stile parco avventura) o un giro sul lago.. Io ho provato il percorso avventura ed era carino, costa 30 cedi quello all'altezza base e 60 quello più alto.. se lo volete fare indossate delle scarpe da tennis( sennò non vi permettono di farlo) e dei guanti (sennò potete comprarli con 20 cedi lì) E' un po' difficile e stancante, specialmente sotto il sole ma se andate lì penso valga la pena farlo:) The garden is nice,a green and quiet area in Accra..The entrance fee is 10 cedis and then you can decide to do a canopy walk,an high ropes course,a tour on the lake...

  • 4/5 Grace T. 3 years ago on Google
    It's the only functioning recreational park I know. It's ingenious what they've done with the place. There's a playground for kids and fun activities for adults. Wish there were more places like it where both children and adults can relax and have fun. I've been on the canopy walk and gone picnicking there. Looking forward to trying the rope course and boat rides.

  • 3/5 Del M. 4 years ago on Google
    Place is too expensive for the choice of services on offer. The environment is serene enough but it doesn't measure up to how it's being advertised. A group outing would help to minimise the cost of choices one would opt for.
