Amazing African history! We easily spent an hour there in the museum and around the park; but the museum was the best!

It was great to hear the story about the man that Ghanaians are so proud of, their first President under the regime free from British control.

just a mere glance from the fence can tell you the value Ghana place on her first president, its welcoming atmosphere and beautiful land scape make it attractive to take photo graphs which would give you very marvelous effects. the in-depth display of the life of osagyfo would tell you the love and value of the African hero

Our guide was excellent. The area around the Mausoleum is well laid out with pools, fountains and bronze sculptures - I loved those of horn players and drummers. Inside the Mausoleum is a quiet room containing Dr Nkrumah's tomb and displays of photos of him with other world leaders. It is a fitting memorial to a great leader.

I especially appreciated the tour guide who was extremely knowledgable of the political/governmental history of Ghana. The exhibits were informative an authentic. The statutes and memorials were were well crafted. The Park is a fitting tribute to contributor to the Country and society of Ghana.
