A canopy walk, a museum visit, or an afternoon at a park offers a different way to spend your day. These six Lagos destinations cater to visitors interested in nature, history, culture, and outdoor recreation.

Badagry Heritage Museum

Location: Lander Road, Marina, Badagry, Lagos.
Opening hours: Confirm with the museum before visiting.

Housed in a former colonial district officer’s office, Badagry Heritage Museum documents the history of the transatlantic slave trade. Its collections provide context for understanding Badagry’s place in that history. Allow time to read the displays rather than rush through the building.

Omu Resort

Location: Bogije town, off the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.
Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm; Sunday, noon to 6pm.

Omu Resort brings several attractions together, making it an option for families and groups planning a full day out. Check the available ticket packages before booking, as access to individual attractions depends on the package selected. The resort is also featured among these summer vacation spots for children.

Lekki Conservation Centre

Location: Km 19, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lekki, Lagos.
Opening hours: Confirm current visiting and canopy walk hours with the Nigerian Conservation Foundation.

The 78-hectare reserve offers a chance to spend time among trees and wetland habitats within Lagos. Its canopy walkway is a draw for visitors seeking a view above the trees, while the reserve’s paths offer another way to explore the grounds. Check access arrangements before setting out.

Freedom Park

Location: 1 Hospital Road, Lagos Island, Lagos.
Opening hours: Daily, 9am to 9pm. Food court and bar hours extend on event nights.

Built on the site of the former Broad Street Prison, Freedom Park combines colonial history with an active arts programme.

Ndubuisi Kanu Park

Location: Mobolaji Johnson Avenue, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
Opening hours: Confirm current park hours before visiting.

Ndubuisi Kanu Park offers space for outdoor recreation on the mainland. Following renovation work, the Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency announced preparations for its reopening in October 2025. Check which facilities are currently available before planning your outing. The Rec Room, a children’s play venue within the park, operates its own visiting schedule.

John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History

Location: Onikan Roundabout, Lagos Island, Lagos.
Opening hours: Wednesday to Monday, 10am to 6pm. Closed on Tuesdays.
