Looking for an exciting activity that gets everyone moving and having fun? 

We discovered just the place—Skate City at Purple Mall, Lekki. From skating thrills to hoverboard adventures, our visit was packed with laughter and memorable moments. Whether you’re a parent looking for a way to keep the kids active or an adult wanting to try something different, Skate City offers a unique experience for all.

Here’s a detailed rundown of our visit, what we loved, and a few tips to make your outing even more enjoyable.



The Experience

Skate City is designed with families in mind, offering an array of activities in a vibrant and safe environment. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting. From kids to adults, this is a space for both beginners and pros to have fun, no matter their skill level. We had a good laugh watching adults get a hang of skating. 





Things to Note Before You Go

  1. Pack Your Socks: If you’re planning to skate, socks are a must. It’s a small detail and they will provide you one but it's better to go with yours. 
  2. Hoverboard Fun for Younger Kids: For little ones are not allowed to skate, the hoverboard is an excellent alternative. It’s easy to use, and they’ll love the sense of independence it offers.
  3. You will sign a waiver: You will be required to sign a waiver absorbing them of the liability of any injuries while skating.





What We Loved About Skate City

  1. Friendly Staff: The staff were incredibly welcoming and patient, especially with first-timers. They provided guidance and made everyone feel at ease.
  2. Variety of Activities: From skating, hoverboarding to arcade game &VR, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re a kid or an adult, you’ll find an activity to suit your energy level.
  3. Clean and Safe Environment: The venue is well-maintained(It's still new), with safety being a top priority. This gave us peace of mind as the kids zoomed around having the time of their lives.





Areas for Improvement

While our experience was overwhelmingly positive, there’s room for growth. When the venue gets busy, it can feel a bit understaffed. Adding more team members during peak hours would ensure everyone gets the attention and assistance they need.

Pricing

One of the great things about Skate City is that it’s affordable for the experience it offers.

  • Skating: ₦6,000/hour (ages 5 and above)
  • Hoverboard: ₦4,000/10 minutes

For a family outing, it’s a worthwhile investment in fun, laughter, and memories.

We can’t rave enough about how much fun we had at Skate City. It’s a fantastic spot to bond with the kids, get active, and try something new. The mix of friendly service, exciting activities, and affordability makes it a must-visit destination for families in Lekki.
