Welcome to Lagos. The city where the hustle never stops, the traffic is an extreme sport, and the sunsets could make even the most jaded Instagram influencer pause.
February is here, and whether you’re a local or just visiting, there’s never been a better time to explore what the Lagos vibe has to offer.
So, buckle up (or, you know, grab a matatu, if you’re feeling brave), because here’s a list of fun spots to check out this February.
1. Lekki Conservation Centre: Where Nature Meets the ‘Gram’
Let’s kick off with a nature fix.
Picture this: You’re strolling through lush greenery, breathing in the fresh air, and the only sounds are birds chirping and your Insta feed getting updated with your pictures.
The Lekki Conservation Centre is an oasis of calm in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Lagos.
Take a walk on the wild side (literally) by crossing the famous canopy walkway – the longest in West Africa.
It’s like hanging out with Tarzan, but without the jungle drama.
The bridge sways. If you’re the “nervous about heights” type, just remember that if Tarzan can handle it, so can you. If not, hey, there’s always the picnic area!
2. Tarkwa Bay: Because Who Doesn’t Need a Beach Day?
Lagos might be a concrete jungle, but don’t forget that it’s also surrounded by beaches.
Tarkwa Bay is the official place to go if you want to escape the city’s hustle and enjoy some sand between your toes.
Whether you’re a fan of swimming, surfing, or just lounging with a coconut in hand, Tarkwa’s laid-back vibes make it the perfect getaway. It’s accessible only by boat, so you get to feel like a VIP just getting there.
If you’ve ever wanted to practice your “surfer” look, now’s the time.
Even if you don’t know how to surf, just stand on a board and pretend like you do. You’ll be fine. (Trust us, confidence is key.)
3. Nike Art Gallery: Art, Culture, and a Whole Lot of Color
February is the month of love, and what better way to show some love to the culture than by heading to the Nike Art Gallery? It’s one of the largest art galleries in West Africa and is practically bursting with color.
From sculptures to textiles, paintings to beadwork, this place will make you feel all sorts of emotions—mostly joy.
Plus, there’s an opportunity to haggle for that perfect piece to decorate your living room (or your social media feed, if you’re into that).
Don’t be shy about asking questions. The guides are practically walking encyclopedias of Nigerian art history. And hey, they might even share a joke or two while you’re at it.
4. The National Theatre: For Those Who Like a Little Drama (in a Good Way)
Lagos isn’t all beaches and nature; it’s also home to some serious culture.
The National Theatre in Iganmu is where you can catch an incredible live performance, from theatre plays to music shows.
February’s calendar is usually packed with performances and events. Whether you’re a fan of comedy, drama, or soulful music, the National Theatre has got you covered.
5. Omu Resort: The Place to Feel Like a Kid Again
Why should kids have all the fun? Head over to Omu Resort, and let your inner child run wild!
From go-karting and horse riding to visiting the zoo and taking a boat ride on the artificial lake, there’s enough to keep you entertained and feeling like you’ve hit the jackpot of family-friendly fun.
Sure, you might be the only grown-up trying to win at mini-golf, but that just makes it more fun, right?
If you see a toddler running around with ice cream, don’t be jealous. Just get your own. Omu Resort has no judgment.
6. Art Twenty One: Because Art and Wine Should Always Be a Combo
Let’s face it: art isn’t just about the masterpieces; it’s about the vibe too.
Art Twenty One, located at the Radisson Blu, isn’t just an art gallery—it’s a lifestyle.
A glass of wine in one hand, a mini cheese platter in the other, and the world-class art around you. What’s not to love?
Plus, the people-watching here is top-tier. Expect to spot art enthusiasts, influencers, and maybe even a celebrity or two (they like to get their culture on too).
7. Lagos Island (Balogun Market): The Best Place to Get Lost (and Find Yourself)
If you haven’t experienced the chaos and beauty of Balogun Market on Lagos Island, then my friend, you’re missing out.
It’s a whirlwind of colors, sounds, and smells that will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a different world.
Whether you’re looking for clothes, fabrics, souvenirs, or just want to experience what it feels like to be in the center of all things Lagos, Balogun Market is your spot.

8. Sky Restaurant & Lounge: Because You’ve Earned the View
Want to end your February adventures on a high note? Literally? Head to the Sky Restaurant & Lounge located on the 11th floor of Eko Tower.
Not only will you be dining in style, but you’ll also have one of the best views of Lagos’ skyline.
The food? Chef’s kiss. The drinks? Don’t even get me started. And the ambiance? You’ll feel like you’re in a movie.
Try not to be too distracted by the view. The food is that good, and you’ll want to remember the flavor. And yes, selfies are a must.
Now go forth, make memories, and remember: in Lagos, it’s not just about the places you visit, but the fun you have while getting there!
