Cashlino –
“Freedom” 
Lagos is a vibrant city with lots to do but even then, we still seem to get stuck in the same first date rut of dinner and drinks.
Whilst there’s nothing wrong with getting to know somebody over a meal, we have put together the ultimate list for a less than ordinary first date which is bound to score you a second, providing you don’t mess it up.
Paint & Bake- Chocolat Royale
If you thought this was just for kids then you thought wrong because creativity and fun has no age limit. Paint and Bake is available at 3 locations of Chocolat Royale all over the island and offers you the chance to let out your inner Picasso.
Create a piece of pottery of your choice and decorate it however you like and the kind people at Chocolat Royale will bake it for you and you can take it home as a souvenir. A cute first date idea would be to make something for the each other to take home as a momento of your time together.
Lekki Conservation Centre
Lekki Conservation Centre is probably one of Lagos’ best hidden gems. Tucked away just off the Lekki-Epe expressway, this is one of the largest conservation areas in Lagos and is home to a variety of animals including monkeys and throw in the odd crocodile or two.
If you want to experience plants and animals in their natural habitat, then this place is a must visit for that special date. The NCF was set aside to sustain the natural habitation of plants, and animals as urbanisation began leading to the intrusion of areas meant for them.
This meant that in a city like Lagos which is fast becoming a bonafide urban jungle, we can enjoy a slice of wildlife. Take along a guide and tell your date about the types of plants and animals as you stroll along. If that doesn’t impress them then what will?!
Cold Stone Creamery
This is on the top floor of the same storey building as the Domino’s Pizza mentioned above. Pizza and Ice cream is one of the best combos known to man and if you are on a date with someone who has a sweet tooth, this is one of the most budget-friendly places to go.
Tarkwa Bay
Tarkwa Bay is a lovely, aesthetically pleasing beach. It is a very romantic spot that is located near the Lagos harbour. There are so many outdoor activities to do like Horseback riding, speedboat riding and so on. If you are going out with someone that likes physical activity, this is a good spot to hang out. Just remember to wear light clothing and take a good camera for pictures.
Lekki Leisure Lake
This cool place is the spot for outdoor recreation lovers. It is located in the Eti- Osa community. There are so many activities that take place like the Jet skiing and quad back riding. Their food is also very delicious, especially when you have it after engaging in any of the activities on site.
Bogobiri House
Bogobiri is located in the heart of Ikoyi, precisely at 9, 7 Maitama Sule Street, Lagos. Art lovers go to this place to have a good time and listen to live bands play invigorating music. Plays are also hosted here by Taruwa and on some nights, there is open mic. If your date is an artsy person, this is one of the most exciting places that you can take themto in Lagos.
