And if you're coming with friends, split the cost where possible. DE-G and GRIT both offer group pricing/discounts on selected activities.

Going Alone?

You don't need a group to have a good time.

Try: Archery → bowling → arcade → cinema

Or simply spend the afternoon walking around Pleasure Park, grabbing something to eat and doing one activity.

Coming With Friends?

This is where things get competitive.

Try: Go-karting → quad biking → paintball → gel blasters → arcade

Just don't let anyone say, I'm not competitive, before the first race. They're probably lying.

Going on a Date?

You don't need to spend huge sums to make a date feel like an outing.

Try: Boat ride → bowling → roller skating → cinema → food

Or keep it simple with one activity and somewhere to sit and talk.

The Skaute Rule of Thumb

₦5,000: One proper activity + something small to eat.

₦10,000: Enough for a decent outing.

₦15,000+: Now you're planning an experience.
