Amazing destination, a well preserved UNESCO world heritage site. Perfect for historical visits, family and nature time and connecting to our deep Yoruba roots.

Words cannot describe it. It was an awesome experience. Colour, culture and tradition, in vibrant energy were united - a beauty of tremendous joy. The attendees - never seen just a multitude of a joyous people basking in the ancient heritage of our people. White is the colour of Osun -the generous goddess of splendor, fertility and prosperity. Many things to do to make subsequent Osun Festival greater. I would suggest: Medical teams to be on ground. Directional signs. Background information of the carvings. Access control. This festival is now on my calendar. See you next year. Ase Edumare.

Easy to locate and cheap entry fee (500 naira as at today 12th Ocotber, 2024). We had to pay 1,500 naira to take our phones in for a group of 5. It was so fun visiting and listening to the history about this place. The serenity of the atmosphere, the rich leaves filled trees and the monkeys jumping are a sight to behold. Pictures does not really do justice. If you're a fan of historic places, this is a must visit

An historic spiritual arena which artistically informs you of the culture and history the grove holds. Susan Wegner of blessed memory made this beautiful and mind blowing sculptures. Here is where all worshippers and believers of Osun around the world gather yearly to celebrate the Osun Osogbo festival 🎎 Like and Follow us at ArinkaTravels across all social media platforms for more attractions

It was the first time of visiting the groove even though I grew up there. The experience was good because I was able to know the history of the town I was born and grew up in. Also heritage was a site to behold because of the ancient landmark sights.

It's an amazing groove. My family and I had a nice time touring the groove. It's a place worthy of visiting at least once in a lifetime. I'm still in awe of how everything fitted together perfectly well even till date. The combination of art and cultural heritage wowed me. Vivid graphical representation of the past and the belief system of the people is a thing of note for me. I'll like to visit the tourism centre again and again.

I came seeking wonder; I left marked by shadows. It is no mere forest. It breathes, it watches, it remembers. The trees arch like priests in silent prayer, the statues whispering secrets not meant for the living. Anyway, I had a guide Mr… (I forgot the name. When I check my video, I'll update this) and he explained the secrets to me in detail. ********************* You only have pay ₦1,000 entrance fee (it's cheap) You'll need to pay ₦1,500 to record with you phone. Professional camera is more than that. Having a Guide is optional and you tip them. No restaurant there ooo🧏🏽‍♂️. Of course, shey you want to dine with the gods ní?
