It's not free! A little shady, we didn't go through because it was $10 a person. We did see it from the car and it looked cool.
[Jennifer, 08/01/2011]The palace and much of Oyotunji African Village is now full of grand stucco sculptures, monuments, and even homes. It is not the crumbling concrete I expected to see. The sign at the entrance is no longer on wood but is done with stucco.
I understand that the young men born and raised in this village have a company called Brothers of a Royal Tribe Stucco, and are known as the "Stucco Kings" throughout South Florida, the Keys, and the surrounding islands such as Hilton Head, where they do the majority of their work. The schoolhouse was fabulous and yet had an ancient traditional look to it. I had a wonderful time, the people were so welcoming and friendly. I have told all of my family and friends about the experience.
