"For a bit of history and culture, head down to Kalakuta Museum, located in the building that once housed the legendary king of afrobeat himself, Fela Kuti. It is also the compound Fela had declared as the Kalakuta Republic, an independent state away from Nigeria. While a bit far from all the other spots on this list, it is definitely worth the trip for a greater understanding of Lagos's past."

The center is a wonderful place to learn about the legend of Afrobeats and its rich history. However, the management really needs to improve customer service, particularly at the front desk. There’s a young lady there—always in a scarf—who consistently comes across as rude and unfriendly. During my visit, I paid 8,000 naira for a 7,500 naira tour and expected 500 naira change. Instead of handling it politely, she raised her voice and repeatedly told me she doesn't have change, making no effort to find the change and sounded more like if I didn’t have the exact amount I could leave. This kind of attitude is disappointing and doesn’t reflect well on such a great establishment. Proper customer service training is highly recommended. Let me know if you'd like a more casual or stronger tone.

Lovely place to visit if you are a fan of the legend Fela. The tour guide was a sweet soul, too. And they have great accommodation for those who want to stay overnight. Nothing fantastic, but it's just right.

Historical Nice Place to chill and enjoy some good music, their rooms are for members only though but you will love it.

I think it's important to keep members of the public informed about the activities of the museum or put it out on the website so people are better enlightened. We got to the museum on a Saturday morning only to be informed that the guide isn't on duty. If this information was out there, we would have been better informed. Who no go, no know.

It is value for money. You will get a guided tour of the museum.

Amazing space managed by the family of Fela Kuti. They have an incredible collection of art, media and heirlooms. A very special environment worth honoring.
