Today is Children’s Day and a part of me really craves the magic of my childhood again. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life in Lagos, most adults like me forget to just live a little. That is why I love kids; their innocence is humbling and their sense of fun is beautiful. Today we celebrate them! We celebrate their innocence, forgiving spirit and joyful soul. How can we make today fun for them? Children who are still in their formative years learn a lot from visiting a new environment, so please don’t keep them locked up all day today. Are you in Lagos and not sure where to take your kids today? Here are some fun places to visit within the City of Excellence where you can relax with your kids on this special day:
