Tenchris R. ★★★★★ : A legendary place to begin with filled with tons of legendary experiences. Swift and cultured packed. Witnessed a great show yesterday and it was mind blowing... Kudos to their team of organisers and everyone keeping the culture alive and preserved.
Aravindan K ★★★★★ : Freedom Park in Lagos is a unique blend of history and culture, built on a former colonial prison site. It offers a calm and scenic environment with artistic displays, live performances, and historical exhibits that make it both educational and relaxing. It’s a great spot to unwind while experiencing Lagos’ heritage, though it can get crowded during events and parking is limited.

Eka O. ★★★★★ : I had a great relaxing experience. I enjoyed the nature and saw the mini zoo. I usually pass through this place once I come to the mainland but I never knew the place was small but mighty. I had an amazing experience. Go with your kids its fun

busola O. ★★★★★ : Jhalobia is such a beautiful space. My friends and I used their garden to have a color-themed picnic and it was the best decision we ever made. The garden was neat and clean, there were no insects as they fumigate regularly. They had mats at the time I went and we just had to bring sheets to put over the mat. The bill was 5k per person but it was worth it, and my girls and I had the best time. It's the perfect place for a picnic or a wedding even
LOLA I. ★★★★★ : A lovely park. It is nice for hanging out with friends and family. The environment is peaceful, good for a quick getaway from the hectic life of lagos. It is highly advised to make a reservation. The entrance fee is 5k per person.

Ahmed O. ★★★★★ : A famous garden located under the Falomo bridge connecting Ikoyi and Victoria Island. Beautiful attractive garden visibly seen from Awolowo Way and Bourdillon road. Walkways within the garden with artistic pictures of different monumental histories on the pillars of the bridge. Seating available and secured relaxation spots. It's free to enter. Hard to find a good park space around here.
Adetuase P. ★★★★★ : The park was very beautiful, it's a nice place for an outdoor event or dates. The MIP experience happened there .it was beautiful ❤️

OSAROBO D. ★★★★★ : Currently speaking, this garden needs a serious renovation.. both the zoological and botanical aspect of here is outdated and poor and it really needs restructuring.. This place is meant to attract tourists and people that appreciate nature. It’s condition isn’t really encouraging right now..
Micheal A. ★★★★★ : The Zoological and Botanical garden of the prestigious university of Lagos, Akoka. This place houses, though few, diverse of animals. The plant species found here ranges from ornamental to even those of high medicinal importance. This place pride itself as a safe haven for that mystical iroko tree and the endangered species of Mona monkey. The parrots found here appears friendly but they unfortunately don't communicate much. It may be considered as a place worthy of visitation should you visit UNILAG
