Because I am a nice, agreeable, and sweet person I have decided to bring you a list of places that you can go with your lover to go celebrate valentine’s.

6 Romantic Places To Spend Valentine’s Day With Your Partner In Lagos, Nigeria.

Lekki Conservation Centre

The first place that you can visit with your partner is the lucky conservation centre.

I personally have been to the Lekki conservation centre a couple of times and there are a lot of activities that you can enjoy with your lover at the Lekki Conservation Centre. 

The Lekki Conservation Centre is located at Lekki Conservation Centre, just after Chevron bus stop, if you’re coming from Ajah.

The Lekki conservation centre has a 401 m long canopy walkway that is suspended 22.5 ft above the ground. It is also the longest canopy walk in Africa. It is also home to several species of birds, reptiles like snakes and lizards, ponds with fishes, rare monkeys, and crocodiles and you also get to enjoy hiking trails and bird-hide, rest stops and tree houses.

Some of the endangered animals that you will get to see at the Lekki Conservation Centre include squirrels, crocodiles, duikers, hogs, bushbucks, Mona monkeys, snakes, crocodiles, and giant rats. You also get to see other animals like the mongooses, and chameleons and an impressive variety of bird life. 

For an adult, it cost 1,500 naira to get into the Lekki Conservation Centre and 500 naira for children.
