1. Nike Centre For Art And Culture
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 559 reviews
Nike Art Centre, Lagos, is one of Nigeria's hidden treasures. Located in Lekki, Lagos, the four-story building compromises of an art gallery and textile museum featuring over 7,000 pieces and soon to have Coffee shop. The Centre has a diverse collection of art by a multitude of artists, celebrating Nigeria's talent, offering visitors an insight into all cultures of Nigeria through the medium of art. It can take up to a full day to discover all the Nike Art Centre has to offer. Fortunately, the gallery is open 7 days a week often holding art exhibitions, workshops and cultural days. If you're feeling creative you can take an art course with Nike or go on one of her week-long retreats outside of Lagos in Osun state (Osogbo), Kogi state (Ogidi) and Abuja, all of which you can visit with 'Nike Tours'. The tours offer overnight accommodation at her guesthouses, and partake in creating traditional African crafts such as adire, batik, indigo, beadwork, painting, or carving. Nike Art Centre is an impressive gallery and a must for art lovers.

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
3. Lekki Conservation Centre

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.

Hello fellow travelers. My name is Armin (I'm an expat from America) and I am currently going to upbeat twice a week for gymnastic classes. (I go more during some weeks than others but go 2+ times minimum.) This is an amazing place to spend time with family, friends, siblings, etc... There are multiple things you can do at upbeat such as: Trampoline Jumping(indoor park), Basketball(outdoor), Soccer (outdoor w/ artificial grass.), and you can even eat one of the 3 the restaurants there are. If you have little children yrs3+ don't worry. They have a kiddy castle set up for them to play in. You, yourself can watch them while enjoying a cup of coffee. For Nigerian qualities, Upbeat is outstanding. The upbeat staff are nice and reliable. The bathrooms are neat, tables are wiped, and there are medics close to the trampolines. I hope you will enjoy your time at upbeat and come again. Your anyone that comes with you will LOVE this experience.

Silverbird Cinema is still the leader of cinema business and service deliverer in Nigeria so far. I encourage more tourists to stop by to watch a movie at least and bet you, you shall come over and over again.
