If you still have the energy for a quick thrill, you can indulge in virtual reality and play some games at Enzo Reality.

Next, head to Lekki Conservation Center to walk off some calories while connecting with nature and experiencing some IG-worthy views from Africa's longest canopy walk 🤩. Finally, check out The Griot for some good food and pre-club vibes or The Angler for some waterside views and upscale dining (you can even book a boat cruise from here).

Day 3:

Get your day started with breakfast at Maple, and your perspective turned upside down (in a fun way, of course 😂) at Upside Down House. Next, it's time for some indoor trampoline and great vibes at Upbeat.

Now that you've worked up an appetite, check out NOK by Alara for some tastefully artistic decor with delicious recipes 😋. Then, head to West Side Beach or Barracuda Beach for a relaxing evening by the sea—and maybe some horse riding.
