In Lagos there are plenty of fun places to take your kids to. That’s why I’ve come up with a t list of exciting places that your kids must to visit.

Dreamworld Africana is located at KM 20 Lekki-Ajah Expressway Lagos.  Just after the 2nd Lekki toll gate, the Orchid Hotel is a significant landmark to look out for. There are several attractions in the park, including a roller coaster, carousel, ferris wheel, bumper cars, go-karts, arcade games, bouncy castles, etc. To build the big splash, it also has a swimming area and water slides. You pay an entrance fee to join, which varies, but typically starts from N1000. Then you pay for each ride, or you can buy access to ALL DAY RIDES for around N3500. Amazing fun at an affordable price. At N2000 for children and N1,500 for adults, these Children’s Day tickets are all inclusive.

Searching for a spot to go bowling? Rufus and Bee, then, is just a spot. Rufus and Bee, all bundled in one, is a games arcade, pub, bowling alley and sports bar. It is situated off Remi Olowude, Lekki, (2nd roundabout), in Lekki. The arcade games are filled with many different games, including football, shooting, cars, basketball, etc. In a candy shop, it’s like letting a kid loose. You buy a card worth N1,000 and you purchase points from as low as N5,000 (55 chips) to as high as N30,000 (405 chips) on the card. This is the family’s must-visit destination. You’re not going to regret it.

On the outskirts of Lagos, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, KM 12 Lagos Ibadan Expressway Ibafo, Hi-Impact Planet is an amusement theme park and resort. It’s a stone’s throw from MFM Prayer Town. This theme park, I have to say, is packed. We have been here at least 3 times and we still haven’t been able to do anything, even though we got there as they opened up. Indoor arcade games with loads of games, swings, bumper cars, ice skating, ferris wheel, carousel, go kart, train rides, and an indoor 4D cinema are available. It now has a swimming area and slides of water. It also boasts of accommodations for out of town guests and if you want to maximize the holiday and stay over (Our own little disneyland). 
Entrance fee is N5000 and you have to pay for the games. You have two options – either pay as you play or buy an all access package (HIP Regular or Combo). The package ranges from N15,000 to N25,000. The costs for the individual games range from N500 to N2500. For adrenaline junkies – the Enterprise Ride is a MUST

Omu Resort

Omu resort is unique in that it’s a combination of a mini zoo, seaworld, wax museum and an amusement park. It is located at 1, Omu Resort Drive, Bogije Town Lagos. Depending on where you are coming from it’s a bit of distance – its after Awoyaya and Lakowe.  Omu Resort has a wide range of fun activities – zoo, wax museum, rides, mechanical bull riding, horse riding, waterpark, paintballing, quad bikes, roller skating, kayaking and go-karts. Honestly, we enjoyed every bit of our visit and are planning to go again.
Their tickets cover both entry and access to games. They have three main packages ranging from N3000 to N8000 per person. If you are up to 5 people, I advice you ask for the family package to get a discount.
Funderland Mall

Located inside Funderland Mall at 16/18 Lekki- Epe Expressway opposite Mega Chicken (between Chevron and VGC) the Mall is home to DCube Skating Rinks, Trotter and Pop Water Park.

Apapa Amusement Park

Apapa Amusement Park is located at 34 Randle Street Apapa. This amusement park boasts of bumper cars, carousel, air bicycle, mini football pitch, mini ferris wheel, roller coasters, indoor arcades and a number of other rides. I love the Pirate Ship and Fruit Worm the best. The indoor games arcade has lots of fun for the kids especially the younger ones. There is no entrance fee, you pay for each ride. Prices range from N400 to N1500. You can buy a card and load as much money on it for the various rides and card can be used another.

It has outdoor slides, rides, a little pool and space for the little ones to run around. A great venue for children’s events and outdoor parties. Entrance fee is typically N3000 per person for 100% acesss to the place and its facilities.

Take a step away from your typical fun parks and rides and enjoy the beauty of nature with Lekki Conservation Centre.

Gate Fee is N200 for children and N1000 for adults i. Access to the Lekki Conservation Centre Canopy Walk cost an extra N1000
The Beach

I am not sure this list would be complete without including the beach. Lagos is blessed with beaches,  and you can choose from a selection of beaches if you would like to spend a day at the beach having a picnic, drinking coconuts, surfing and lots of water fun. Badagry. Eleko, Elegushi, Oniru, Atican beaches are some to name a few.  If you are up for more adventure, take a boat ride to Tarkwa Bay. Tarkwa Bay is an island and only accessible by boats. It’s a 15-20mins by boat with the boat ride costing N1500 to N2500 one way.  Entry fee for most beaches are  between N1000 to N2000 and you will need some extra money to rent tents, chairs, tables, etc.
