The smell of fresh air is just indescribable. For those in love with nature, the arboretum is a place to visit. The canopy walk is a daring one, and the zipline adds to the fun.

We had an absolute blast at Bunso Eco Park in the beautiful Eastern Region of Ghana! This awesome eco-tourism spot is packed with cool stuff like a canopy walkway, nature tours, forest hikes, horse rides, and ziplining. It’s a hidden gem with fun for everyone—kids’ playgrounds, and swings for both kids and adults. The canopy walk was definitely one of the highlights, offering amazing views of the park.But don’t pay for any picture unless you have received it because you may not get it.

It's a nice place but the canopy walk is too steep which is scary, the Zipline is also too short. I think the charge for the Zipline should be a bit down to enable a lot of people to participate. All the same I had fun but very short

Great place, some of the wooden structures needed maintenance the last time we went there. Great nature tour, canopy walk and zip line. It’s just weird paying for every individual activity

Bunso Eco Park is a wonderful hidden gem which needs to be advertised very well. It has something for everyone in the family, ie kids swing, adult swing, hikes and tours, cocoa farm tours and tasting tours as well. They also have a wonderful zipline with a nice view of the whole park and I loved every minute of my stay. It was also very cool on the pocket, less than 30cedis per adult and less for kids and you pay for each activity separately after entering. Zipline is 25cedis for adults and 20 cedis for kids. The access road is good and very short from the main Kumasi-Accra stretch which will be a good activity to partake in when coming through that stretch.
