Lagos Fun You Can Actually Afford
Let’s be honest, you’ve brunched, lounged, and lived the soft life. But now? Your inner thrill-seeker is side-eyeing you.
Good news: Lagos isn’t just a city of traffic and expensive cocktails. It’s also home to some pretty wild, unexpected, and actually affordable experiences that’ll get your heart racing without wrecking your wallet.
So if you’re tired of the same-old plans and want something a little more adrenaline-pumping (and a lot more fun), here are three thrilling activities in Lagos you should try this weekend.
1. Zorbing at Alluvia Jetty – Because Why Walk When You Can Roll?
If life has been rolling you over lately, it’s time to roll back, literally. Zorbing is what happens when you climb inside a giant inflatable ball and float on water like the chaotic, fun-loving adult you are.
It’s one of the most hilarious (and oddly peaceful) ways to de-stress, plus it makes for some top-tier Instagram content.
📍 Location: Alluvia Jetty
💰 Price: ₦10,000 per session
📅 Availability: Open all weekend
📞 Booking: Required (this isn’t a “just vibes” situation)
2. Wall Climbing Gym – Get High (The Legal Way)
Wall climbing in Lagos? Absolutely. And no, not the metaphorical walls you climb every day just trying to survive this city.
Weland Climbing is West Africa’s first and only indoor wall climbing gym, located inside Pop Beach Club at Landmark. It’s beginner-friendly, super safe, and a surprisingly intense workout.
📍 Location: Landmark Lagos, Victoria Island
🕒 Time: Tuesday to Sunday | 1 PM – 9 PM
👟 Entry: Walk-ins welcome
3. Apapa Amusement Park – Nostalgia, But Make It Chaos
Remember the thrill of spinning teacups, bumper cars, and candy floss highs when you were a kid? Well, Apapa Amusement Park is back, and it’s bigger, louder, and just a little scarier.
After a recent revamp, the park now offers everything from classic rides to full-blown scream machines like the “Disco” (a ride that spins and swings. Hold your wig.)
🎠 Access Card: ₦1,000
🎢 Ride Fees: From ₦1,000 to ₦4,000
🍔 Food Policy: No external food allowed (we’re not mad, just hungry)
📍 Location: 19 Randle Rd, Apapa, Lagos
Lagos is wild. Lagos is chaotic. But Lagos is also fun — if you know where to look.
From walking on water to climbing literal walls and reliving your childhood at an amusement park, there’s no shortage of wallet-friendly thrills to explore. So drop the “there’s nothing to do” excuse and go chase some adrenaline.
See you outside. 🎢🧗♀️💦
