Amusement parks

Visiting an amusement park is a good one if you have adventurous kids or you are adventurous. You get to go on so many fun and amazing rides that give you that adrenalin rush. Most amusement parks will offer a Children’s Day package you can hop on.

Apapa Amusement Park has been recently renovated and has a lot of indoor and outdoor games and food courts. It’s on the cheaper end compared to Hi-Impact Planet. Hi-Impact Planet is a theme park on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. Like Disneyland, it is the first of its kind in Nigeria.
