Nigeria is one country where holidays are not as frequent as we’d like them to be, little wonder why we always look forward to them because it means more time to explore the adventures Lagos has to offer. If you are searching for an adventure in Lagos, you are in for a treat, as you are in the right place. Every weekend is a movie in Lagos and we curate a list of the best activities to try out every weekend in Lagos. However, if you are looking for the best activities to try out on a weekday, then this is your guide:
Have an escape room adventure
You and your fellow 9-5ers finally have some free time on a weekday! It’s the perfect time to get the gang together and do something fun, like an escape room adventure. Solve puzzles, find hidden clues, and work together to escape within a time limit.

Try foreign cuisine
One fact about Lagos is that you’d find every type of cuisine you might want to try without stress. Trying out different cuisines is nice and is even nicer on a weekday as it is usually less crowded compared to weekends. Take your time to explore dishes that blend different cuisines or experiment with unconventional ingredient pairings. This way, you get to have fun as you experience new tastes and culinary creativity.

Join an upcycling workshop
Activities like recycling and upcycling are not very popular in our environment, but we cannot deny their importance and potential impact on our society. If you are a creative person who also loves to preserve society, joining an upcycling workshop might be just what you need to do on your free day. You can learn how to transform old or unused items into something new and useful, get creative with repurposing materials, and contribute to sustainable living.
