Make sure to bring cash! Some beach vendors only take cash and while they have ATMs their fees can be pretty high. Just avoid the hassle.

I recommend packing some snacks and drinks. There are vendors around, but prices can get steep, and having your stuff handy saves time.

My advice is to check the weather before going. Rain can spoil your beach day, and it can be super humid, so dress light and comfy

keep an eye out for wildlife! i saw some cool monkeys and birds, but they can be shy. stay quiet and patient to catch a glimpse.

I think it's worth bringing your own snacks and water. The prices at the gift shop can be a bit steep, plus you get to enjoy your food surrounded by nature.

Wear comfortable shoes! You’ll do a lot of walking on the trails and climbing up to the canopy walkway, so make sure your feet are happy!

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can; weekends are way busier and can feel overwhelming with the number of people around

I think it’s smart to pack a picnic; food in the park can be a bit pricey. We brought our own and saved a ton.

My advice is to check for live events or programs planned for your visit. I stumbled upon an open-air concert that was a blast!

I recommend visiting Ndubuisi Kanu Park in the early morning around 7 AM. It’s much cooler, and you get to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere before the crowds arrive

I suggest visiting Freedom Park during the weekday if you can. It's way less crowded, and you can really soak in the atmosphere without the hustle and bustle. Weekends can get pretty packed.

My advice is to bring some snacks. The food options can be a bit pricey, and there aren't too many close by. Packing a little picnic can save you some cash.

Don’t forget your camera. The park has some really Instagrammable spots, especially around sunset. Just make sure to wander a bit to find the best angles.

My advice is to visit mid-morning around 10 AM to avoid the crowd and enjoy the cool breeze. The beach tends to fill up later in the day!

I think it's better to negotiate prices with local vendors for souvenirs. Don't just accept the first price, haggling is expected and can save you some cash!
