The Bob Marley Museum, located on Hope Rd, is a popular tourist attraction in the city of Kingston. The museum offers guided tours of the 19th-century wooden house where Bob Marley lived and recorded from 1975 until his death in 1981. Visitors can also explore a cafe and gift shop on site. The museum serves as a shrine to the reggae legend and much of the house remains unchanged since his time there.
Lovely comedic and knowledge hosts. Affordable prices in addition to lovely philodendron plants, and koi fish pond. I enjoyed the theatre; and visiting Bob Marley’s home (sacred space). Learning about his legacy through music, his humanitarian efforts to share the messages in his timeless reggae rhythmic euphoria…of unity, peace, and liberation truly filled my heart with joy. His influence can be seen in my artwork and personal style, as well as my crown. Give thanks for the education we received.

This was wonderful, very informative and nostalgic tour. Learnt a lot from our tour guide. Note you are not allowed to take pictures or videos on the inside of the house. I would recommend doing this tour on your visit and if you need a guide call me up.
The Bob Marley Museum tour cost US$25.

I drove from Montego Bay to Bob Marley Museum long story short There's a significant connection between Ethiopia and Jamaica, and someone dear to me often speaks passionately about it. Taking a leap of faith, I visited, only to find it closed. Nevertheless, I captured some beautiful pictures from the outside, and it looks stunning. 😍

The Bob Marley Museum was amazing!
We learned so much about Bob, his music and his life. He was a very interesting man.
Our Tour guide was amazing. She was so friendly and full of vibes!
It is definitely worth a visit.
I am definitely going back (without my kids this time).

We had a fantastic visit here on April, which was close to 4 hr round trip driving from Ocho Rios. The tour was fantastic. It was the perfect length, very very informative about Bob's life, and not rushed at all. The gift shop sold all sorts of souvenirs and even records. I would highly recommend this visit for anyone.

Oh my goodness!!! This was a great experience. Our guide Irie Sue was tremendous. Her knowledge and enthusiasm about Bob Marley brought the experience to another level. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Kingston Jamaica.

Wow!! Don’t miss this!! The museum was way better than I expected. This isn’t just a museum with facts. This is Bob Marley home and recording studio. It’s also where he was shot and killed. You can even see the bullet holes in the wall still.
I loved talking with Bongo Herman and listening to him play and tell stories about playing with Bob.
Sang with the tour guide; loved everything about the tour.

“ I recently revisited the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, and I was pleased to see some positive changes since my last visit. Firstly, they have lowered the ticket price, making it even more accessible to visitors. Additionally, they have made some valuable additions, such as a small outdoor cafe and beverage bar, providing a convenient spot to relax and refresh after the tour.
One notable enhancement is the inclusion of a well-produced film that serves as the grand finale of the house tour. This addition provides a captivating and informative experience, further immersing visitors in Bob Marley's world. It's unfortunate that photography is still not allowed inside Bob's house, but the film compensates for this restriction.
However, I must note that the merchandise in the gift shop left me somewhat disappointed. Many items appeared to be of poor quality, with a noticeable lack of craftsmanship. The abundance of T-shirts and overpriced plastic items took away from the overall experience. I hope they consider sourcing higher-quality products to match the significance and legacy of Bob Marley.
For those interested, there is an opportunity to visit the working Marley Family music studio, which requires separate tickets purchased at the box office adjacent to the cafe. This is an excellent addition for music enthusiasts looking to delve deeper into the Marley family's creative process.
All in all, I'm glad I returned for a second visit as the Bob Marley Museum has made noteworthy improvements to enhance the overall experience. It remains a perfect way to spend a few hours when exploring Kingston and celebrating the legacy of the legendary Bob Marley."

Must visit when in Jamaica, great stories of Bob Marley personal life and musical career. You cannot take photos inside the house (fair enough) but you can take photos outside in the other parts of the grounds. Great informative and fun tour

Beautiful lush and chilled oasis at busy Hope Road so you can just enjoy the gardens and mango trees as you are waiting for your tour to start.
Every 30-60min they take you on a musical journey trough the house and history of Bob Marley.
Sadly it is kind of in a rush and as you are not allowed to take pictures inside you can't even have a closer look at the numerous exhibits later on your camera.
So especially if you are really an enthusiast the museum might be both fascinating and frustrating for you.

The grounds are beautiful, the team does an amazing job of taking care of the property. The tour guides are really good with the details of the life of Bob Marley. It’s beautiful and heart breaking, one thing for sure is his legacy will live on. You have to check out the cafe the blended ice coffee will have you coming back.

Place is pretty impressive. The tour guide was very informative, calm, throws a couple of tunes so most definitely money well spent to see how the legend lived.

What a GREAT TOUR! My daughter and I arrived right at 3pm on a Thursday afternoon and made it just in time for the tour at that hour. I think it was the last one of the day. I didn’t know what to expect. Would the tour be fun and interactive or full of dry facts? Our tour guide was Ricky Chaplin, the guy who we learned later played the spiritual advisor in the new Bob Marley movie. Ricky was such a good tour guide that my daughter, who usually dreads historical tours, said it was the best tour she had been a part of. Not only did we learn, but we laughed, sang, and felt inspired. Wonderful experience! P.S. Tickets were $25, and we tipped Ricky on top of that. I saw no need to book tickets on travel sites that were over $90 each.

Almost didn’t have enough time to visit this museum - my husband insisted that we go. Absolutely no regrets making this trip to Kingston! Bob Marley’s house was magical and our tour guide was super informative. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the home but outside is a thumbs up. There is a gift shop, smoking shop, and local vendors on the property. I will say, if you drive here on your own, the locals will notice you immediately and stop traffic to get your attention for tips. Just a word of caution - don’t allow them to wash your windows during a red light. We didn’t have this problem in Montego Bay, Negril, Ocho Rios, and Port Antonio - just Kingston.

It was such an educational and sureal experience being in the place the legend created some of the most iconic music of all time. Our tour guide Stanley was very knowledgeable.

The tour was the best tour I've experienced. We had Captain Crazy as our guide, and he was hilarious... everything he said had everyone laughing and then him laughing at his own jokes. The church ceremony was the weirdest thing ever, and I struggled to hold my laugh in. Make sure to stock up in the hut at the entrance 👍

When I first heard Bob Marley I was 17 years old. My boyfriend at the time placed a record on his record player, the album Uprising, and I immediately fell in love with the rhythm of Reggae and Robert Nesta Marley. His lyrics spoke to my heart, my mind, my soul. He infused his music with spirituality, love, humanitarianism, politics, freedom, the essence of life. I've listened to every album, I can sing every song from at least 8 of them. He is apart of my person as music becomes part of you. His legacy lives on in millions of people. I dreamt of coming here, that young 17 year old girl, a place where he wrote, sang, fell in love, built life long friendships, where he gave back to the community, played football, his roots. I honestly wasn't sure it was written in the stars for me but today I stood in this place where his energy and vibration still lives and thrives. I am so grateful I am who I am, that I live this life, and I have had the opportunity to be here and now, and influenced by greatness. 🇯🇲💕 "My richness is life forever" Robert Nesta Marley

Located in a picturesque estate with lush lawns and exotic flowers, Devon House Bakery offers delicious patties, cakes and international desserts. The bakery also offers quick and affordable service, making it a popular choice for all your Jamaican pastry needs. Try the goat patties!

Devon House bakery pastries are fresh & delicious, we've had their cookies (not really a big fan of those), cheesecakes,pineapple turnover, muffins, coffee strips, cakes, donuts (chocolate covered donut with sprinkles are my favorite)...but the star of the show is their curry goat patty!!! I also enjoy their beef patty too. Now I don't even like or eat goat meat🥲 but I tried this and since then I have never been the same🤣😭 It's one of my hubby's favorite, he's not crazy about curry but he loves it; it’s well seasoned, delicious, flavorful and spicy just the way we like it.

Pretty chill and relaxing location for the whole family. First time visiting and I've been vacationing here for years.
Usually has a decent and consistent amount of people but not usually over packed.
I ended up dropping my ice cream and a worker kindly gave me a second one free of charge so that was a plus.
10/10 would go again. Parking lot is packed but since people come and go constantly I noticed most poeple pulling up as someone is leaving.
Marlon Junior — Google review
The only plant based option is the callaloo patty. The crust was nice and flaky and the filling was seasoned well and not too spicy. Also they do not skimp on the filling.
The customer service needs improvement, at the time of my visit 2 employees were behind the counter and only 1 was attending customers. So there was a wait.
Seating is available outside and there are other vendors on the complex.

Just perfect! Customer service is good every time I visit. Their patties are absolutely yummy. I tried the curried goat patty for the first time. Flavor-wise, it’s a 9/10. I do think its a tad too salty. I do also enjoy their pastries and cakes! 😋

It was my 1st time ever coming here and I had to leave quickly. Not because of anything bad but because there was sooooo many deliciousness in the cases.

This is a beautiful well maintained property. The 45 minute tour was informative and gave insight into how a millionaire and his family lived in the later part of 1800.
The complimentary ice cream was almost three scoops high, sweet, coconut flavored and creamy. There was a choice from at least 10-12 flavors. Ideal for cooling down on a hot sunny day walking around the compound.
Notable mention- The compound has spotty free wifi and outdoor plugs in the entrance area with the statue of George Stiebel.
It’s worth a revisit to enjoy the restaurants and cafes. This visit was strictly for the tour and ice scream.

The Trench Town Culture Yard Museum provides tours of a former tenement yard that was once home to various reggae artists, including Bob Marley. The tour includes visits to Bob's former residence and his mother's house, as well as a walk through the community. Visitors can learn about the roots of reggae and where many famous Jamaican reggae artists began their careers. Photography is not allowed in the actual yard or residences out of respect for the people who live there.
This was a really unique and worthy experience. We opted for the full community tour option ($30 US per adult plus tip for the tour guide) and we were there about an hour and a half. The woman who runs the place seems really amazing and her son was an excellent tour guide. The community tour may vary depending on when you are there and what is going on. The tour of the museum/house felt a little rushed- there was tons of stuff to look at and I could have spent more time in each room. Bob Marleys mom’s house is only something you can see from the street not enter. I could go on about how valuable I think this experience would be for everyone…the community is very welcoming and the place really is open everyday as those who run it live right there. Just pull up and ask and they will get someone if the gate is closed. She also runs a hostel right there nearby as well if you are interested in really being immersed and welcomed into the community. I wish more neighborhoods all over the world would organize cultural history, community cooperative and immersion opportunities like this.

This tour was pure comedy. We did the basic $20 tour. Black & Proud A.K.A. Mr. Johnson is hilarious. He was under the influence while giving our tour. He basically read the signs in the room and threw in an occassional song for entertainment. He invited me to sit on Bob Marley's bed while telling a story of a lady getting pregnant by Bob's ghost. I'm a scary indivual and not once did I feel threatened in this area. I even walked a bit to capture the wall art. While you're here you may as well visit May Pen Cemetary for the elaborate tombstones. The Tivoli Garden side (next to Tivoli High School) is open allowing you to enter and view up close.

I did the full tour today with my family. This included a tour of where Bob lived, his mother's former house and a walk through the community. What a lovely experience! The tour guides were good especially Kash. The people in the community were warm & welcoming.

Oh man, TrenchTown! Do I really have to say something else? But of course! The historical background is best experienced there, but if I can say one thing, then this: I was really welcome there. I met very nice people. Link up! Especially in the Culture Yard you feel the Natural Mystic Blowing. You become the Jam. I've even been there a second time ... because of the people. :)
Nach dem Dritten mal in Kingston und dem Culture Yard:
Dieser Ort ist einer der Orte, die ich als Burg bezeichnen würde. Von hieraus kann man Kingston sehr gut erkunden und kennenlernen, man erhält Tipps von Einheimischen und man kann dort auch Begleitung und Taxi erhalten, aber noch vieles mehr...
After the third time in Kingston and the Culture Yard:
This place is one of those places I would call a castle. From here you can explore and get to know Kingston very well, you get tips from locals and you can get escort and taxi there, but much more ...

We went there before going to Bob Marley museum. Definitely a good idea to understand where Bob comes from.
Objectively the tour wasn‘t worth the money. The tour guide seemed really high and basically just read the text printed on the pictures. But for us as big reggae fans it was a great experience.

Club Kingston - VIP Airport Lounge / VIP Attractions
Club Kingston is a VIP airport lounge that provides top-notch customer service from arrival to departure. The welcoming staff offers clear instructions on how the lounge operates and efficiently serves customers with sit-down ordering options. Customers can leave their belongings under the watchful eye of a staff member when making purchases outside the lounge. Relaxation is encouraged as boarding announcements are made, and customers are escorted to their gate for departure. Club Kingston creates an exceptional travel experience that relieves stress and makes customers feel like family.
I received 5 star service from arriving in the lounge to leaving. Immediately when I arrived I was warmly greeted & given instructions on how the lounge works.
The sit down service & ordering something to eat & drink was amazingly efficient. I had to go back to buy something in the airport shop, but had my duty free package & hand luggage. This was offered to be watched by a staff member.
We were advised to relax, boarding time would be announced & we would be escorted to the gate.
A remarkable experience.

Whenever I am travelling, as long as Club Kingston is open for business, I and my family members would choose Club Kingston at the Norman Manley International Airport. I had long hold the view that their service was impeccable and second to none. The environment is clean, friendly, comfortable with an excellent customer service.
However, I and my niece were truly dissapointed on Sunday, August 22, 2021 when we stayed in the Lounge. The service started out as we were accustomed to, but while we were dining a number of soldiers with sniffer dogs came through the main entrance and were all over the place. We could not tell if they were looking for someone or something specifically. I recall wanting to use the rest room and was delaying and it was just when I decided that I would go that the armed force came in. I am not a dog person, so can you imagine opening the door on leaving the rest room and be greeted by a member of the armed force and a dog? I would have flipped. I saw them coming from that entrance and I even said to my niece that it was a good thing that I had delayed going to the rest room.
To make matters worste, we were also accustomed to being informed that the flight had arrived and be escorted to the boarding area, but not so this time. Club Kingston closed at 6:00pm but we were still accommodated and were, prior to coming, told that the necessary courtesies would remain in place. This was definately not the case. The flight had arrived and the time for boarding was active but it was only after my niece went to the front desk and asked if the flight had arrived that she was told yes that that she could now make her way down for boarding. I was shocked.

Consider arriving early at Norman Manley Airport and pay for having access to this lounge. The price worth each penny.

Excellent value for money.

I always anticipate a wonderful experience at Kingston Club and Mobay Club during my travels. The food, drinks, and service consistently meet my expectations. Unfortunately, during my recent visit to the lounge on December 4th, my experience didn't measure up.
This was the Kingston Club location. As usual, I found a seat and headed to the buffet. While sharing my food I saw a server....I requested a margarita and pointed to my seat. Surprisingly, she informed me that I had to get it myself. Seeking assistance from another server at the buffet, I was directed to the bar for self-service. While I have no issue getting my own drink, it was unexpected in a lounge where such service is typically part of the package.
Despite this isolated incident, I look forward to continuing to use your services in the near future

Quality of Service and Food has deteriorated significantly
Before we could get hot food (wings, pasta, etc)
Now they have prepared items in what they call a buffet
Cold sandwiches and not fresh
They have pasta nuggets and Patti it selection is so limited and items are not refreshed often
If you’re thinking of paying for lounge access with the intent to eat.. your better bet is to simply buy food
If you need to work preflight - you may be challenged getting a plug

Clean and comfortable waiting area. If your flight is delayed or if you are early for a flight and do not wish to proceed through the customs check point immediately, this is a nice area to sit and wait and probably grab something to eat at Dasheen while waiting. An ATM is also located in the area.

Easily accessible after the shops and duty-free. Staff warm and welcoming. Table service when I visited which was very good. Lounge had adequate seating and did not feel crowded at anytime. Wi-Fi was fast and all the family were able to connect and do our different online activities. Food was tasty and menu had a good variety to choose from. Toilets were spotless also. Only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is that there was no designated kids zone. I travel often with my children so this is important for me. If travelling with no children then 5 stars.
Port Royal is a town situated at the southern part of Jamaica, near the entrance of Kingston Harbour. It was established by the Spanish colonizers in 1494 and served as the main hub for trade and shipping within the Caribbean region during the latter part of the 17th century. This village used to be one of the most significant cities in all of Caribbean history.
Trench Town, a region situated in the parish of St. Andrew, including part of Kingston - Jamaica's capital and largest city, was once referred to as the Hollywood of Jamaica during the 1960s.
Holywell is a great family space with ample gazebo, outdoor grills, camping, and hiking. It has a play area for the kids; you can even sleep over in a cabin.
It's a great spot for an afternoon out...especially now that there is a restaurant. The bathroom facilities are well kept and there is running water.
I have camped overnight in tents. I have stayed at the cabins and I have visited the park for just the afternoon. This park never gets old!

It's a very beautiful place, went camping up there. Very picturesque. Mosquitos will take a chunk out of you no matter how cold though. Would definitely visit again. Minor waterfall trail not marked so you may pass it like it did. Literally a less than 2 min walk on the right after the bridge.

Awesome weekend hangout!!
If you are a visitor, hire a car for a day, enjoy the circuitous drive uphill and downhill.
Once at Holywell, you will be in surrounded by cloud and mist. Carry an extra pair of clothes even for a day trip.
Keep water and food with you or can buy at a new cafe at the premise.
Give a good camping opportunity if you are ok spending time with nature.
Better to have your own tent as charges are high and availability is doubtful.
You can have a barbecue grill and relish stakes while camping.

A beautiful and quiet place in the blue mountains not to hard to reach from Kingston.
There are mainly two hiking paths, both are not too hard. The waterfall path is a bit longer but not so steep. Don’t expect a huge waterfall buts a very natural and beautiful place with endemic plants growing around.
We were the only people there during the week, and had to pay no entry fee since there was nobody there. Also they got a beautiful picnic spot by the ranger station right by the trail head.

The National Gallery of Jamaica is a public museum that exhibits the art of Jamaican and Caribbean artists. It offers guided tours and programs, showcasing a diverse collection of intricate artwork by various artists from different time periods. As one of the oldest museums in the Caribbean, it presents an exceptional collection of Jamaican art that exemplifies the country's artistic heritage and current talent. The gallery provides a unique perspective on international artistic trends while emphasizing Jamaican cultural identity.
The Jamaica Jamaica exhibition experience is worth it! Interesting to see the development of Jamaican music over the decades

The National Gallery was amazing. It was so well curated, very informative, and not expensive at all. I actually think they should charge tourists more. The PRESSURE exhibit and Kapo wing were both very impressive.

What a beautiful gallery! We enjoyed our 1.5-hour visit to this museum. Tons of history. Check it out!

A modest art gallery with a focus on Jamaican artists. Spent over an hour touring their permanent exhibit on the upper floor, unfortunately their temporary exhibit was under renovation while we were there. The price to enter was fair and they have a small gift shop and café.

Visited the National Gallery after two years of being MIA because of COVID. The gallery holds a special place for me and as a patron I was proud to see the selection of young and recurring artists. From sculpture & installation, to painting to photography & film and mixed media to textiles, the Pressure, exhibition forces us to think.
I am however particularly perturbed by the gallery’s position to only allow invited guests for this instalment of the Biennial. Although I am proud of the young artists being represented, I don’t think this 2022 exhibition was that intersectional… especially in terms of who is being seen on the walls.

The history is so rich and diverse in this museum. Lots of various artistic styles. A decent collection of commissioned pieces. I loved every moment wandering through this gallery.

Take your entire family here. Lovely place bearing a vast collection of historic Jamaican paintings and sculptures. The pieces are properly placed and the gallery is very clean. Most of the pieces are displayed upstairs though so for persons who are not able to walk, that will be a challenge, but otherwise, every art lover must visit this place.
Sebastian Perry — Google review
If you wanna see talent, creativity or just experience really good art, this is the place. There is normally an exhibit in rotation downstairs and the general exhibit on the second floor. The rotating exhibition never disappoints, I was able to see “Pressure” and it was WOW. The details, the intricacies and of course the talent! Very good work!

Great gallery, well set out with many interesting exhibits. Only a couple of pounds to visit so well, well worth it. After, pop into the ROK hotels for a bite to eat. Highly recommended.

A very pleasant Saturday afternoon visit. Great staff in the form of Damian & the admission/gift shop team. Inexpensive, with allowances and discounts for senior citizens and students. There's a lot of art to see from downstairs to upstairs so wear comfortable footwear & follow the simple rules - you can take pictures, but not with the flash on and don't touch the pieces.

Electic and facinating collection of art by talented Jamaicans. Regular exhibitions of newer work but extremely disappointing that there are only a scant/ few pieces in the historical collection.
Rosalena Robinson — Google review
It's a very interesting place to visit. Every Jamaican should at least see this place once, just to see the creations of various Jamaican artists. My only wish is that they should include more works from the rastafarian community as well as recent works from young up and coming artists. But aside from that, this place is great. The entire building is air conditioned and some parts of the floor are carpeted. Also there are seats provided to take a break. It costs only JMD$400 for adults to enter

National Heroes Park is a site managed by the state government, which serves as both a cemetery and public park. The area houses numerous war memorials and funerary monuments for several notable Jamaican figures. This location honors many of Jamaica's heroes, making it an essential destination for visitors looking to explore the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
Burial site of Nationalist Leader Marcus Garvey, reggae star Dennis Brown, and former Prime Ministers Michael & Norman Manley (NMIA) located in the Allman Town neighborhood of Kingston, Jamaica. This solemn historic site is a famous tourist spot for knowledgeable visitors because in 1976 the Smile Jamaica mega-concert took place here. Bob Marley, reggae legend performed when just 2 days prior he had an assassination attempt on his life. Redemption Song!!

For the place where some of Jamaica's most treasured are laid to rest. I was expecting more from National Heroes Park. The park is dry and hot, I was wondering if a well could be dug and used to make a park green and attractive. Some of the plaques are worn need to replaced. Overall the park needs to be refurbished to make it the attraction it deserves to be.

I love the environment. I am able to not just relax in a peaceful environment but I am afforded the ability to learn more about my heritage and about the Heroes who fought successfully so that I can live the life I now enjoy.
I am free to make my own choice and not to under bondage. The Park is a powerful reminder of where we came from, the resilience and wit of our forefathers.

This park is very large and has 2 main sections. There is the section with statues of national heroes and beautiful green space and flora. Then there is another space which is a parking lot well paved and so on. But part of the apce used for parking is a dust bowl, no trees and hot sun.

Theh allowed us to tour the place as well which was really cool. I enjoyed looking at the art compilation too.

This hospital is a paid one. If you can't pay, don't go, you won't be treated. They were very crowded. My relative remained in the emergency area several days before they got her a bed. They didn't give her the antibiotics or medications that they had me buy while she was there. After the 1st dose, she should have gotten it every 12 hours but 24hours later when I checked, they hadn't given her although they knew about it.

It was a good visit, I went with a few of my students from The Infant Department, of The Mountain view Primary and Infant School also went to Uwi Mona for robotics fest and my students also performed from Mountain view Primary and Infant School, from the infant Department, only wish these Universities allowed students with less subjects to attend while doing classes for the other subjects, also help with tuition is necessary, most persons want to attend University, however the cost is beyond them and would it be possible to do more online classes, as many can hardly find the money for traveling least of all tuition, is it possible to facilitate more online classes, as most Teachers attend University and collages while working, it would be very helpful and beneficial to allow classes on the online platform. Most persons are missing out attending University because of lack of funding, travel challenges, subject issues among many. Can something be put into place for those persons?

I supported my niece who had some dance performances at this performance theatre. Now, the Little Theater has been a round for quite some time nurturing talent in the performing arts and giving them a venue to display their gift. The programme ran about 3 and half hours and while the costumes and dance performances were a sight for sore eyes, the audience baked in the heat🥵🥵🥵 The theatre is extremely hot and musty which made the evening miserable and unbearable. I only stayed because of my niece who performed. To make matters worse, when a staff member was engaged she was quite rude informing us that "this is the Little Theatre"....and so? The AC was not kept on and apparently was switched on at intervals then off for the room filled with people. Audio and lighting are good but WE BAKED the entirely evening. This needs to be addressed especially since we have been experiencing increased daily temperatures on the island. I will not return until this is addressed.

First visit to The Little Theatre although I had visited The Little Little Theatre several times. I have never experienced parking this bad on previous visits. Apparently both Theatre started the same time and both shows were in demand. Seating in The Little Theatre is about the best I have experienced in Jamaica and Oliver and his cast did not disappoint. Which made up for waiting half hour to get out the car park after the play. Worth a visit even with the about mentioned chaos.

Extremely hot, it appears that in a bid to conserve on energy, the AC was on the wrong setting. AC was turned off the very moment the curtain came down while hundreds of people were still in the theater.

I wish I could say we had a great time at Rockfort, but having driven for over three hours only to find the gates padlock 🔒. I tried calling ahead but figured they were busy. This was March 22nd. Their website is updated but says nothing of its closure for months. Thanks to a workman working on the roads who told us "the place locked 🔒 long time ". So please Rockfort advertise what's happening so the public knows.

I last visited on August 14, 2022.
I sat in the section for the Kingston Cricket Club and I enjoyed it for the most part.
The service was great but I do have just two pointers…
The first is the bathroom. It’s appalling. So much so, I’d much rather hold it than go.
The other issue is more so for the entire facility. The screen can’t really be read clearly; the one that has its back to south camp road that is. I’m sure patrons would appreciate being able to follow the runs and overs on the larger screen.
Great vibe. Great people. Lovely game.

Great party atmosphere. Love or hate cricket you can have a great time. It was like a mini dembigh, with other franchises aligning themselves to the cricket. The bathrooms were kept well. I only wish the parking and the organizing around which gates to go through to be improved. Overall had a great time and would encourage anyone to come. Aslo, one more thing. The TV screen should be bigger so that everyone across the grounds can see what's happening.
