The Upside Down House in Lekki, Lagos, has rapidly become one of Nigeria’s most visited and photographed tourist destinations, drawing crowds of adventure seekers, influencers, and families eager to experience its gravity-defying architecture and immersive design.
According to The Guardian Nigeria (Nov. 7, 2025), the attraction — built to resemble an inverted two-story home — features furniture, décor, and entire rooms installed upside down, creating a surreal experience where visitors appear to walk on the ceiling. Since opening, it has become a top hotspot for social media enthusiasts and creative photographers.
Vanguard reported that the Lekki Upside Down House was designed as part of a broader private tourism development initiative aimed at showcasing innovation in Nigerian architecture and entertainment. Located along Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, the site also houses a mini café and gift shop that cater to visitors exploring the Lagos tourism corridor.
Punch Newspapers highlighted that the attraction has become a favorite for school excursions, family outings, and brand photoshoots, contributing significantly to domestic tourism revenue in Lagos State. Officials from the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture praised the site for “redefining the urban leisure experience.”
Channels Television added that the Upside Down House forms part of a growing list of experiential attractions in Nigeria — alongside the Nike Art Gallery, Omu Resort, and Lekki Conservation Centre — that promote Lagos as a vibrant cultural and recreational hub.
