If you do take your children to Abuja, then here are some places to keep in mind:
National Children’s Park and Zoo, Abuja
If your child is a nature lover, then this is the right place to bring them to. The park has a zoo, playground, and perfect spots for picnics. The zoo has a range of animals such as monkeys, horses, a Donkey, Buffalo, and a hyena. Walking around is enough to tire them out at the day’s end. You can also get horse riding activities on weekends. The entry fee is affordable, but if you decide to do a photo shoot there, they will charge an additional fee to the gate fee.
Address: Off The Central Business District, after The Millennium Park, Asokoro district

Maitama Amusement Park
This Park offers a few rides such as the Ship, Train, Cup, and Horse carousel ride. Note that some rides cost extra besides the affordable entrance fee. So, ensure you carry extra money along with you. There is also a café, boutique, and Suya spot, and the service there is highly commendable. It is usually open from Thursday – Sunday at 2 to 8 pm. It is a magnificent spot to spend quality family time.

Play World
The beauty of Playworld is that it is not only for kids but even young adults can have fun at this spot. Get ready to bounce, flip, twist, and jump on trampolines. Children can also go wall climbing here while adults can play basketball on a trampoline. There is a virtual reality spot and private cinema for adults. And after all the fun, get a meal at the indoor food court. If you are visiting, then you can sign up to get the day tickets. But if you live in Abuja, then you can pay less by becoming a member.
Address: Plot 458 Idris Ibrahim Crescent, Utako.
Valor
You can find the Valor Game café in different locations in Abuja. But the one we are interested in is the gaming center that is a part of City Park in Wuse. This is a gaming spot that has a range of games, such as FIFA 2021, VR, and GTA. The duration of each game determines the cost of playing there. They also have a playground which you will need to pay to gain access to. You can also get popcorn and ice cream for the children while you are there. These additions make this spot children-friendly.
