SkateCity
Lagosians said there’s nothing fun to do in Lagos except go to restaurants… and SkateCity collectively rolled its eyes and said, “hold my slushie.”
SkateCity is located inside Purple Lekki Mall (and also at Purple Maryland Mall for our mainland faithfuls), SkateCity is where grownups go to be kids again, and where kids go to school you on rollerblades, PS5 games, and VR adventures that’ll leave your real life feeling very two-dimensional.
What’s Inside?
Roller Skating & Hoverboards
If you’ve ever wanted to glide like a cool kid in a 2000s music video, this is your shot. It’s ₦6,000 for an hour of skating, and even if you fall, it’s all part of the fun (plus, they have helmets, relax).
PS5, Air Hockey, Pool, Foosball & 360 VR Madness
You can battle it out on FIFA, lose graciously at air hockey, and try not to scream in the 360 VR zone (we dare you). There’s even football for those of us still clinging to our university glory days.
Karaoke Thursdays
You haven’t lived until you’ve hit a high note in public with a cocktail slushie in hand. Every Thursday at 7PM,
The Food
Let’s talk cravings. Wings and fries? Check. BBQ ribs? Yup. Grilled cheese that tastes like a hug? Absolutely. There’s even a family feast platter (₦162,800) if you come deep, or just have the appetite of four people.
Drinks & Milkshakes
From creamy Very Vanilla milkshakes to cocktails that’ll have you singing Dua Lipa lyrics mid-skate, the drinks here slap.
Damage?
- Skating: ₦6,000 per hour
- Cocktails: From ₦8,000
- Mocktails: ₦6,000
- Food: Mid-range to “I’m treating myself, abeg”
Final Verdict?
SkateCity is not just for the kids. It’s for the overworked Lagosian who just wants to scream into a karaoke mic and trip on a hoverboard in peace. Whether you’re looking to bond with friends, host a fun date, or just escape from your never-ending to-do list, this place delivers vibes on vibes.
So what are you waiting for?
Lace up those skates, sip that slushie, and let your inner child outside for once. You’ve earned it.
