Hmmm, yesterday I met with friends at the BMT African Garden.Is it a nice place ?? Yes But can they do better?? Absolutely.The pool was drained yesterday, they probably had their reasons.The Horses and the Rabbits I liked ππ.There are Lions, Hyenas, Jackals, Crocodile, and lots more.If I go there the next time and I see improvement I will give a 5 Star then
Hidden gem with a bit of everything!Zoo, library, playground, pool, boat house, restaurants, photo studio, bookstorePRICINGZoo 1k adults 500 childrenPlayground 1k per childLibrary 2k per day for adults 1k for childrenNice variety of animals at the zoo.Decent food - go to Kuik NoshPlayground - limited but the kids will have funLibrary - could do with an update, but nice variety of books and quiet. Computers too.
Sincerely, I and my kids enjoyed the few animals in the zoo.However, we were expecting to have a good experience at the pool bar only to be grossly disappointed. Food took more than 90mins to arrive. Quality of the meals were also poor.It was an experience I hope Ill never see at any restaurant again.
They had a few animals and the spot was alright; some animals were wounded and others were sadly looking like they were grappling for food but overall, with kids, it was a fun experience.Also, other spots here were requesting additional payment: like at the playground.Not a good place for adults on their own but with kids intrigued by animals, why not?
Bamanga Tukur gardens and Zoo is an amazing place to visit with lots of activities for adults and kids. Theres also zoo accommodating a few animals which was fun to see. Theres a kids playground where kids could play thier hearts out. The place also holds a library for viewing things in history and an adult hangout area. Theres lots of things to do. Enjoyed my trip there.

A lovely place, well designed and organised. It has a mini zoo for animals, a swimming pool and other businesses on site. There was a capital hub party so hot you wont wont it to end.They have a library and a conference centre for events and indoor programmes.There is Kiki Bistro with local menu, nkowbi, palm wine, abasha etc.
Big beautiful garden with various sections, restaurants and event spaces.. Mini zoo and swimming pool too. Like a resort without lodges π π
Nice refreshing park. Great to host outdoor parties with canopies. I was there for the Abuja block party in October 2021. Itβs was a good vibe.
A quiet place for hangout expecially for a date/conversation.Its natural and Serene.
It was Kuik nosh I went to. However, the garden is beautiful too
Gate fee required into zoo, tour guides around to show you round the animalsThereβs a ship like restaurant i loved.Kids park, bookstore, swimming pool and so much more.
Lovely experience, will like to visit the zoo soon
It was quitr interesting and Had a zoo and insite drive
They are working on the place, my children enjoyed the zoo. It was fun packed I wonder whatnot will be when they finish. At night its a wonderful place.
Its an amazing place. U need to take around the BMT Africa Garden. I visited the zoo, although not all the animals u can find there but d ones available are a sight to behold. I saw two young lions of 2 yrs old, crocodiles, hyena, monkeys, tortoise oF 80yrs old, porcupine, etc. Its an interesting area.
I especially liked the zoo. I saw a lion up close for the first time. It would be so much better if you can pay for the zoo, at the zoo. I dont get why you pay at seperate places. Overall, its a nice place and scenic too. You can take pretty pictures.
This place is amazing, even for kids.. Their zoo has so many animals, porcupine, Lion, emu, camel, baboon, crocodile and many more. Ill recommend this place to anyone.There is also a park inside, where kids can play on the swing, bouncy house, merry go round and lots more. It has many lovely spots to just chill and hang too
Fun park with loads of activity for kids and adults
It is a really lovely garden, with a number of facilities. The location is serene, very suitable for picnics or small get-togethers.
Its big and has loads of vendors and yiyd definitely find one that youd love. The zoo could be better though.
Fair enough but could do better with greener (well mowed lawn) kind of environs.
It is a beautiful garden which is quite hidden in Wuse 2. I enjoyed spending my evening there. There are swing seats where couples can sit, away from other faces.There is also a zoo and library there. The trees make the environment so peaceful. Even better is that it is not crowded.For food, there are small stalls that sell meals there. One can decide to just go there to enjoy the view.Not bad at all.
It has a zoo, garden were you can have picnics, beautiful scenery where you can take pictures, a mini safari train
Not very sightly place but the kids will have fun, most especially with feeding the birds, the rabbits and the monkeys. Thats not to say that the zoo doesnt have the scary lions, the hyaenas, and the crocodiles, they do.
Its a nice place with serene environment. Great for family picnics, get together with friends or just chill.
Awesome even place, has a zoo nice view and all
BMT is an ok place to go to with family members or hang out with friends due to the various activities from swimming, bars and train rides. But I am not feeling their zoo, and the train rides are hijacked by staff who profit off the price, making it hard for families to really enjoy the experience.
To be honest my experience was pretty bad. All the animals looked really sad and hungry the spaces of the cages were extremly small. It was also pretty expensive. The goats looked very very skinny, and the space for the lions was an insult.
A decent cool spot to relax & have recreational fun & visit its decent ZOO @ a decent price.
Kinda hidden, but find it and explore it for the best reasons
It wasnt up to expectations at all. Perhaps its better in the evening
Itβs a large private park thatβs very easy to miss in the heart of Wuse 2.It had good facilities that are still under development. The environment is nice and good for taking strolls and having a good conversation.They have a gym (not very well equipped), a library and a mini zoo. Itβs a great venue for childrenβs party and outdoor entertainment.
Cute zoo in the heart of town Wuse 2 by the Swedish Embassy. Great spot for relaxation with fun stuff like library, museum, swimming pool, restaurants, and bars. It has a clinic and diagnostics centre.
It is so spacious, convenient and lovely place to hang out with love ones.
I recently attended a get together session with some beloved sisters at the BMT African Garden. It was a lovely time out. You will need to pay for each chair and table needed aside paying for the desired space.
Waoh! Very nice place for both adults and children. I was surprised to see lions inside their zoo.
A good leisure spot...needs more life though
The place is fine and well located in a very nice environment in Wuse 2
It was a wonderful experience with truck ridesMosque available so u dont av to be worried about praying on time.
Updates for the Zoo : Pricing Adults : #1000 , Child : #500. Decided to get that out of the way first because a lot of people assumed it was a 500 naira base fare. Okay so the entirety of the garden is amazing, its got various spots and new ones are popping up. Youd want to do a full tour first when you get here, say see the animals at the zoo, then splash in the pool and after, grab something to eat from the different restaurants around. Its got a library at the location and a clinic too. Its a fun place for all ages.
Didnt come early enough to see the zoo. service was not too bad but can be made much better. Was at the pool side bar and it was a but slow. Not too clean and not much options for food and drinks. A nice place to come hang out but not much to do in the evenings.
Sincerely I was highly disappointed at the staff of this place. Had an event here and you had to practically beg the staff before they did anything. Chairs and tables looking dirty. Toilets were bad. Lighting a big problem. For the kind of place, I expected more. The 2 star is because of the Manager that later came back and took charge of the situation. He saved the day.
Cool but need to keep the animals more clean
Its generally a nice place. Visiting on Sundays look more serene though.
Good ambience and nice joint to hang out.
Very calm and reserved place to chill,with good music and all kinds of chops,simply lovely
Its a very nice place to relax and theres a zoo just beside it.
Iovely place to sit out while the children had fun playing
Is a very nice place π good for tourists attraction. Is also a learning and event centre and one of the best place of it kind in the country.
It wasnt alive.No maintenance.It has potential to be better.
The BMT garden is a Private park/garden situate right in the heart of Abuja city center.It is set on large grounds with an indoor zoo, a gym and an event hall. Itβs great for parties and picnics. It has a lot of potential and I canβt wait to see what the management comes up with.There was an event on this very hot and extremely hot and sunny day so, please excuse the quality of photos.There is security on the premises and adequate Parking.
Though it wasnt all lively during the afternoon.. But I enjoyed the view. There were lots of painting, drawings and moulded arts.. its was a cool serene environment for me that afternoon.
Very relaxing atmosphere. Love the design and park like scenery
Great zoo, lovely location. Safe!
A really interesting and beautifully set place to hang out with friends or family. Youre sure to have a nice time when you take a trip to the bar & restaurant to grab a quick bite or a drink, or take a swim in the pool section with sizes for everyone, you can even take a stroll around the zoo, yes there is also a dedicated ZOO section at the BMT African garden as well. Truly never a dull moment
Services and most especially the grilled fish is so tasty.
BMT Gardens is great. They got a public library, a swimming pool and a zoo. What other combo could be great
Great place ...with lots of potential
A lovely place to hangout with friends and family.
Lovely place to chill.
I would give this no star at all if possible.This is basically an animal prison. The animals all looked skinny, dejected, poorly cared-for and underfed. They were kept in very tiny cages in conditions very far from their natural habitats. It had other features like a swimming pool and a poolside bar though(for anyone interested)
BMT African Gardem is best garden and park you will like to spend time at
Not bad can do much better
Pretty gardens, food & drink options, pay to swim pool, pay gate fee. Pay to take photos & videos. Library, gym, train tour.
Its a very cool spot to be and hangout. They have everything for both kids and adult
Its wonderful. They have a pool,library, gym, zoo, bar and garden. I love it. Small but beautiful
Very unique and beautiful ambience. Good place to chill out
The place is really nice
It has a natural settings. The people are friendly/professional and the grasses and flowers are well maintained. More so, its clean.
