Start early to beat traffic
Morning pickup reduces time spent on Lagos roads and gives cooler, clearer light for the canopy bridge and gallery.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Raised walkways and gallery staircases are best navigated with supportive shoes to avoid slips and stubbed toes.
Bring local currency
Markets and small vendors accept cash (naira) — card acceptance is limited at beach stalls and craft sellers.
Respect wildlife distance
Do not feed monkeys or approach crocodile enclosures; maintain a calm, quiet presence for safety and conservation.
Sturdy walking shoes
Closed-toe shoes protect feet on boardwalks and gallery stairs.
Reusable water bottle
Stay hydrated in Lagos heat; bottled water is provided but refill to reduce waste.
Sun protection (hat & sunscreen)
Strong coastal sun makes a hat and SPF advisable during daytime hours.
summer
Light rain jacket or poncho
