Where is Omu Resort and How You Can Get There?

The Omu Resort is known amongst the residents of Ibeju Lekki due to the presence of a live male lion present in its zoo. From the Lekki toll gate, the resort is a straight drive past the Lekki Peninsula, Chevron roundabout, Victoria Garden City, Ajah roundabout, and Lakowe town into Bodije town. There is a sign to your left that says OMU RESORT.

A U-turn is available shortly after the spot where this sign is & here you can turn, then take a right into the road leading to the resort. A good practice is to let the resort know you are coming so they make preparations for your arrival & if it arises, make special preparations to receive you.

The resort is a 45-minute drive from the first Lekki toll gate after the Lagos Oriental Hotel. The resort is about 22 hectares large and currently uses about 4 hectares for a go-kart raceway, a mini-golf course, a zoo, a sea-world, merry-go rides, an event venue & wax museum for starters. The management plans to add accommodation to the resort in the nearest future

When you enter the reception, you will see two ’empty’ cases to your right. While you might think they are empty, please look again & see the first of the many wonders you will witness at the resort. A royal python lives in one & a python in the other. You will see written editorials on the left hanging on the wall. You will meet with the receptionist who will confirm your booking with smiles while you take a seat (or offload the car for a full day of activities).

Afterward, you get introduced to your guide, then the fun starts.

How Much is Omu Resort Gate Fee 2023?

The resort is known around Lagos as one of the other places where you can Go-Kart, then go quad biking after (or vice versa). What makes this resort a favorite is the fact that you pay a one-off fee to get access to most (N3000) or all (N5000) of the facilities available at the resort.

In other words, paying N3, 000 gets you access to the resort to see the zoo, go on any of the merry rides, play at the bouncing castle, visit the wax museum, see the species of fish at the Seaworld, play archery & darts as well as play volleyball.

Paying N5, 000 instead gives you access to all of the above plus the added fun benefit of going on the Go Kart, Quad biking & playing mini-golf. (The resort allows you to pay N18, 000 for 5 people instead of N25, 000)

5 Interesting Things To Do at Omu Resort

The Kart Is Fabulous!

The Go Kart experience is easy to enter if you calm down & just follow the simple instructions given to you by the instructor. The Go Kart raceway is a good place to challenge each other to the best driver.

The go-kart instructor will help you enter, show you your pedals & start the engine for you.

Hold your left leg on the brake to keep the Go Kart grounded, release it gently to start moving, add some acceleration by lightly pressing on the acceleration pedal, off you go!

Don’t Miss The Quad Biking

A quad bike is a four-wheeled vehicle use don sand dunes & at beaches.

The Quad biking field is big! Really it is! Ride over sand dunes & pump up your adrenaline on these bikes in a race, catch a game or rescue the damsel in distress.

The Amusement Park

The bouncing castle is ideal for kids, most adults prefer to remain on the volleyball court. The amusement park has an archery unit, bouncing castle, volleyball court. You have to try the arrows. They are all ‘swag’ & ‘heroic’…

Well, till you shoot off point. Don’t be discouraged, just nuke another arrow, pull, aim, miss again. (laughs at you). Please don’t point the arrows at anyone in a joking manner.

Wax Museum

Inside the Wax Museum is the dart session. Darts are lovely till you miss the board totally. The wax museum has 3 wax sculptures. They are of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Present Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola & Late President Musa Yar’adua. You should take pictures with the wax images. They are lifelike.

The Wax Museum houses the restaurant & bar where you can have refreshments. As at the time of writing this, you should ask the resort to prepare for refreshments if you want to. You have the option of bringing in your own refreshments.

Omu Resort is opened every day, there is an event venue for guests. How does getting married with a lion in the background sound like? The resort can be used to celebrate a birthday, a party, a company picnic/retreat, shooting a movie.

Exciting, Yet Dreadful Zoo

Bring some treats for them but first ask the zoo guide if it’s okay to feed them. The zoo guide will take you through each animal shed.  The Zoo at Omu Resort is exciting & wonderful.

The first point of call will be the geese shed. They will be actually calling you instead. You will see the camel(it isn’t an adult yet), porcupine (the spines look scary), the monkeys are fun to play with, the hyena looks bored but is actually enjoying the attention from you.

The lion is usually the last point of call for most people. There is a cage, it roams round & round. If you are lucky, or maybe if you requested, you will get to see the lion feed on a goat. Add the lion flicking its neck to the ‘crack’ sound of the goat you will loudly hear & you will begin to feel a new respect for this King of the Jungle. (We named the lion Simba).

In conclusion, you can see that a day at Omu Resort has so much for you. We advise you to spend a weekend here to squeeze the main fun juice out of the place. The resort has packages that will suit your budget. You can even get a discount if you have a huge crowd turn up.

The resort is safe, affordable & lots of fun. The activities will energize you, tire you & re-energize you bringing out your true fun side.
