I first noticed this building when I came back for easter it was at night as I got of at the cms busstop I was so impressed by the sight of the building that I wanted to go back and have a look. I visited on a public holiday before the evening markets started so the junction was busy but not yet crazy. We didnt pay any entrance fee. The secruity guys let us in and we took a look at the cathedral and made some pictures. Unlike certain places my digital camera was not an issue here. I believe we spent like 20 minutes in the church. The pictures of the cathredal are best taken from across the street or perharps also from the bridge. They church had been decorated for an 80th birthday celebration so there were flowers and ribbons - making the pictures more personal

I highly recommend this place if you find yourself in Lagos. It is a hidden gem and I find it absurd that people in Lagos do not know about it because of bad publicity. This place offers you an opportunity to let loose especially if have have been under intense pressure. The adrenaline rush is at its peak.It is also a good place for picnic, family bonding,office get together, games etc. Be warned that the canopy walk and tree climbing are extreme sports which you cannot do carrying babies and toddlers (These they won't tell you, you would find out after you have paid). The management need to keep the water and natural reserve cleaner, maintain the facilities especially the walkway better and do better publicity. Prep people up well before they embark on it, not allowing them to find out for themselves while on it already. Also do not wear formal or native attires for these activities.

In the middle of the hustle and bustle of lagos, there is a place that breaths peace, friendliness, creativity and positive energy. Freedom Park is a project that should be an example reclaiming space in every city. You sense immediately the love that transformed this former prison and place of hate and misery of colonial times into a venue where everyone is welcome. The boys of the neighbourhood as well as the top of the artistic scene gather in this park, to meet, to hang around, to inhale the creative air, and to feel free. Reserve you day and evening, because you will be reluctant to go away again!
6. Kalakuta Republic Museum

Reviewed By theafricanhobo - Abuja, Nigeria
A three-storey building that houses the belongings of Fela Kuti right before he died. His room has been preserved the exact way he left it for the past 23 years. A tour guide takes you floor by floor and tells stories of the afrobeat legend Fela with pictures, newsletters from his political party and other sacred artefacts. The third kalakuta is also where Fela Kuti was buried and his tomb is right by the gate. An enlightening experience for followers/lovers of history and afro beats. There's a rooftop chillout spot where you can relax and get some drinks, food or other herbs after the tour.

A place to stay to see and feel the waves and ocean roar with nice cool breeze and relaxing spots and areas. A place for fun with the sand and have a feeling of sea shells.
