Hi-Impact Planet is that exhilarating escape. Located in Ibafo, Ogun State, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway—roughly 12 kilometers from Lagos’ bustling border—this sprawling theme park and resort offers a vibrant blend of fun, relaxation, and Nigerian hospitality. For travelers seeking a day of excitement or a weekend retreat, Hi-Impact Planet delivers a unique slice of adventure on the outskirts of Nigeria’s megacity.

Step onto the grounds, and you’re greeted by a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds—over 30 rides and attractions stretch across 185,000 acres, weaving through open spaces and shaded corners. The air buzzes with the hum of spinning rides, the laughter of kids, and the faint aroma of grilled snacks wafting from the food courts. From the towering 40-meter Spring Ride to the gentle sway of the Ferris Wheel, the park pulses with energy, its bright colors and animatronic figures—like semi-live lions and gorillas—adding a playful, larger-than-life charm.
The vibe shifts with the hour—mornings burst with families exploring bumper cars and water slides, while afternoons bring a relaxed pace as visitors drift toward the massive swimming pool or the shaded Hip Pizza Court for a bite. Evenings light up with the glow of the park’s uninterrupted power supply, casting a warm ambiance over the luxury apartments where overnight guests unwind, their balconies overlooking a playground that never fully sleeps.

Hi-Impact Planet is a playground for all ages. Feel the rush of the Enterprise Ride, a spinning marvel with gondolas that tilt you skyward, or test your nerve on the Freestyler, a surfing simulator that mimics ocean waves. Kids squeal on the Samba Balloon and Kite Flyer, while indoor gems like the 12D cinema plunge you into immersive worlds—think dinosaurs charging or spaceships soaring. The animatronics section, with its lifelike robotic beasts, sparks wonder, blurring the line between reality and fantasy.
Beyond the rides, the resort vibe shines. The multi-purpose hall hosts events—think concerts or conferences—while the lounge offers bowling, snookers, and table soccer for a quieter thrill. A short drive away, Lagos’ urban sprawl fades into Ogun’s quieter charm—pair your visit with a stop at the nearby Redemption Camp or a detour to Abeokuta’s Olumo Rock for a taste of history and nature.

Getting here is simple—hop a bus or taxi from Lagos’ Berger or CMS terminals along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, and you’re there in under an hour, traffic depending. The dry season (November to March) promises clear skies for outdoor fun, while the rainy months (April to October) cool the air but may dampen some rides—check ahead. Wear comfy clothes and sneakers for the rides, a swimsuit for the pool, and a light jacket for evening chills.
Bring water and snacks if you’re picky—the food courts serve pizza, shawarma, and pasta, but options can feel limited during peak times. Book overnight stays early, especially for holidays, as the apartments fill fast. Cameras capture the magic freely, but drones need approval—email ahead. Arrive early to beat weekend crowds, and ask staff about ride schedules to plan your day. A clinic on-site ensures peace of mind for any bumps or scrapes.

Hi-Impact Planet is Nigeria’s bold answer to world-class fun—a place where screams of delight meet moments of calm, all wrapped in a resort’s embrace. It’s not perfect; some rides age, and service can lag, but its heart lies in its ambition: a sprawling, all-in-one escape for families, thrill-seekers, and anyone craving a break from Lagos’ grind. Leave with stories of spins, splashes, and starry nights, a taste of adventure just beyond the city’s edge.
