Abdullah Q. ★★★★★ : The space museum is a good place to learn some aspects of Nigeria's involvement in Space activities
Ali A. ★★★★★ : Apparently it's not free to visit there's a 4000 fee, which includes a Vr mini documentary on the solar system and a single Vr game. There are only 3 model satellites 🛰 and some screens honestly it's not exciting.

Steph H. ★★★★★ : Museum was good All other atrractions were closed today
Jumoke ★★★★★ : The Art Tech District was actually a heartwarming experience for me. My friend chose this place and got the tickets. We were told to come in by 8pm. People enter in batches, so you get time to yourself, I really loved that. You can also relax at Lagos Bistro before your entry time, it’s just around the same spot. We were first asked to tour the ground floor on our own for about 45 minutes, then later go upstairs for a guided tour for another 15 minutes. So, you get 1 hour in total! At first, I wondered what we would be viewing for that long, but it turned out to be a really lovely time with my friend. So ,I’d recommend going with people you enjoy spending time with. The space is already quiet, so it doesn’t have to be a silent stroll. Lol There are alot of Nigerian history to read and learn about. Reminds me of my government class in secondary school! One major instruction was not to touch anything. When we went upstairs, we met the tour guide, Sylvester, who was lovely and funny. He walked us through the rooms and exhibits and shared helpful information about what we saw. There were different sections, like the music room and a currency room, and we also watched a video about Nigeria’s history. My favourite room was the art gallery. The VR room was not functional during our visit. I won’t share too many pictures so others can experience it themselves. I totally recommend it! Go for it!

funmilola ★★★★★ : Apart from the sloppy service at the payment booth. Discovery museum was a discovery. Loved everything about my visit. Very educational.
FS ★★★★★ : There is only one site visit per hour. It "lasts" for 45 mins. When you go for the first time you need around 25 mins max. Second time, no more than 15 minutes. Inside is beautiful, but limited. Floors were wet, something wqs dripping from the ceiling. To show multicultural and vast country like Nigeria, it would take a lot of time, much bigger space, more guides. Nigeria is not only Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa people. There is a lot more tribes, scattered all around Nigeria, they deserve to be mentioned. There is some extinct tribes. They also deserve to be mentioned. Museum is packed so shallow and disgraceful that this hurts when you come to see as foreigner, and it has potential to be great! This shoud be an expo, and in reality is small time hustle presented like something wow, but it exist just to make some nairas. Show us more, teach us more of your beautiful multicultural history Abeg.

Onyiexplores ★★★★★ : If you're looking for a unique experience in Abuja, you should visit Bwari Pottery Village. It’s the oldest Pottery space in Abuja, established in 1990. It was a fascinating experience, I got to learn about the history of the space and see the step-by-step pottery-making process. I also learned how pottery is shaped, fired, and finished, along with the dos and don'ts that help handmade pottery last for years. Seeing the finished products such as mugs, bowls, and other decorative pieces—made me appreciate just how much creativity, patience, and craftsmanship goes into each one. It costs 10k per person for the pottery class and an extra 10k for a tour of the place. It’s best to go weekdays, public holidays or mornings to get one on one experience with the pottery tutors. The place is currently undergoing some much needed renovations but visitors are still allowed be sure to contact them before you visit. Do follow @onyiexplores on IG & TikTok for more.
Maurice R. ★★★★★ : We were there today and it was very very nice. I bought some nice pottery. Thank you!
