It is a great place with a lot of history about the Atlantic Slave Trade. I am from the USA and it was a great experience to know how my ancestors came to be in America. Great history lesson for the people of Nigeria and all over the world.

I had an awesome experience going through these historic path of slave trade in western Nigeria. The tour guides did a superb work; their knowledge of the events during the slave trade, also the coordination of the tour was brilliant 👏, Kudos to the Mobee family.

Quite a sobering experience. Most of the original slave trade artifacts have been well preserved such that you get a good feel of the slave trade. This coupled with the fact that the guides are so knowledgeable about the history that they handle the presentation very well. Areas of interests: 1.Original chains used for slave trade 2. Items traded in exchange for slaves 3. First storey building in Nigeria 4. Point of no return 5. Barracoons where slaves were held pending transportation to the west 6. Statue of freedom etc...

It was great for historical aspects and the tour guides were awesome! However, I was disappointed in the aspect of it not having proper lighting, no public bathrooms, accessibility and lack of things I am used to seeing in other museums in the US.

This is a Lovely place to visit. I visited on the 5th of December 2021 and it cost me #500 per site for the locals and #1000 pairs for foreigners. You can have pre arranged tours and bookings done. You have to be ferried to the point of no return to experience the walk towards the well of attenuation where slaves who drank from it where said to loose their memory, become calm and none agitated towards their slave masters. Bring along games to play with and your packed meals if you can as the beach is still pristine. This was a day trip for me and it was fun. The tour guide gave detailed explanations as regards the tools used during the slave era and other insights as regards the era of the slave trade. Ensure you either spend the night or leave on time before 6 pm to enable you to catch the last ferry out if you are heading to Lagos- CMS port.

This place is situated in the heart of Badagry, where slaves taken from different parts or some parts of Nigeria are kept or transported across the shores to unknown destinations, there is a torturing room or court where slaves were being kept with little or no ventilation, humans were exchanged for a bottle of gin, umbrella or bowls. Entry fee into the museum is 500 per person, taking a boat across is like 500 to 1k per person to the point of no return. I appreciate the tour guide who took the time to narrate all that is needed to know.

Absolutely loved and learned so much from the tour. I am African American so to see where everything started really hit home. It's so important for people to be there to appreciate how far we've come as a people as it is inspirational. Go immediately if you haven't already

This Museum is a ẇḕḀḶṮḧ of information and enlightenment about the slave trade that’s part of Nigeria’s history and that of west Africa as a whole. It is filled with artifacts that tell the stories of what the slaves had endured and the conditions in which they were kept. You need to visit the sight yourself to understand these. You’ll have a great time.

I visited Badagry via water, which was a faster means of transportation. Payment for the boat ride was made, And life jackets were shared for all passengers before boat departure. It was a 1 hour-10 min ride from CMS (marina) to Badagry port, filled with turbulence that got me pretty terrified at first but I adjusted in no time and became relaxed for the remaining part of the journey. I was advised to avoid boat rides at dusks as the waves are stronger and navigation becomes more difficult.

I visited this museum with my family. At the entrance, we met a tour guide who took us through all the artworks in the museum. It was a very interesting place and our guide taught us about the history of slave trade, the history of the Yoruba's and also about some of the traditions and celebrations in Badagry. It was a very powerful experience for us and I definitely recommend it for others. It is a place to learn something new and would be great for a tour with the family. I also recommend visiting The Mobee Royal Museum, The Oldest Storey Building in Nigeria and The Point of No Return for a full historical experience. I am excited to come again!

The town provides different experiences and the slave history tour is stimulating but that will depend on your guide. Connect with Anago Osho Adventures to take you on a creative and unique tour of the ancient slave history town of Badagry and you will be so surprised about how much you derive from a tour.

I was connected to my root and learnt greatly about the African Slave Trade and saw monuments. It an historical education tour,I learnt alot.

It's a place filled with our rich history as a nation. It was with a heavy heart I listened to the history being told (even though I was lucky to be among those taught history years back).

I learnt about the Trans Atlantic Slave trade.

Was a deeply reflective experience, hearing about the day-to-day life during the era of slave trade and seeing the artifacts and imagining what their life must have been like was an uncomfortable experience for me. Unfortunately, the exhibits were few in number and had more picture narratives. A good experience , in all, but they may need to expand on the museums offerings to give a much broader experience.

I had good experience with the person leading us to all this site.

I finally got to visit this place. It's amazing to see that Nigerians were once taken as slaves majorly to the Brazilian country. The houses all the slaves stayed before they were shipped out. It is also interesting to know that our forefathers went through alot during the slave era and most people seems to have forgotten all that our heroes have done for us. It reminds me of the National Anthem that says the “the labor of our heroes past shall never be in vain, to serve with hearts and might, one nation bound in FREEDOM, peace and unity” Like wooow, FREEDOM, peace and unity, not being myopic in thinking but being a peace loving person, a friend to your neighbor, a person that seeks the greater good for his nation and not how to share the nation cake amongst their families. Let's bury the greed and look forward to a better nation. #GodBlessNigeria 🇳🇬

Historical place. Slave trade centre

SERIIKI ABASS BARRACOON AND RELICS OF SLAVE TRADE , BADAGRY LAGOS IS ONE OF THE BEST HISTORICAL MUSEUM IN NIGERIA WHERE YOU WILL GET THE FIRST HAND HISTORY OF THE THE OLDEN DAYS SLAVERY BY THE BRAZILIAN SLAVE MASTERS.

Where slave trade begins in Nigeria.

This place is the slavery auction centre and opposite it is the great badagry river where the white men from Europe take them through to connect the ship on the other side which Is the ocean. The images and stories around it will drive you to tears.

A truly historical sight to visit, the largest slave trade port in Africa. Sad memories

The place of a thousand history, I was really touched by the sad stories in this museum, may God bless the souls of our forefathers and mothers.

Well, it's a nice place to be... the badagry heritage museum is just close to the divisional library. In the museum, lots of artifacts like things used during the slave trade era etc.

What a wonderful place to exploit the history of slave trade in Nigeria..... So nice a place.... The tour guide did a wonderful job.... I recommend it for any one interested in knowing more about slave trade

The experience here was awesome and fun,i was able to learn so much about the enforcement and abolishment of slavery. I visited the Palace of Williams seriki abass,also the first storey building,and the rooms that the slaves were kept. History is so important and it's essential we learn about our past.

It was a solemn experience

It’s was awesome

Visiting the museums brings to live the lots of slavery stories we av heard in the past, the well preserved chains and other antiques is a great sign of maintenance, the tour guides are friendly and filled with information, big kudos.

This place is full of history. It's a place to reflect on how far we've gone and also learn and see the history of Nigeria.

Good experience

Historical

An awesome place to be. Beautiful historical site.

It was a sobering experience. I only wish the stories are also told from the angle of the African slave traders.

History , facts and evidence on how slavery was conducted in Nigeria and Africa.

Couldn't get it but the environment is nice

A good place to relax and know about Nigeria history.

A very emotional visit.

What a cultural place to be at my leisure

It was a beautiful experience. I was able to see imaginations in a bit, most of the relics are still present at the museum and as at now the museum is 75% ready because of the interior renovation going on. It's a place to visit.

It was wonderful learning about Nigerian history and how slave trade was done in the past. Definitely a good place for tourists to visit

Badagry slave museum is located at post office road in Badagry. Slave area here is where they sold many Africans to European countries.

Important historical place to visit

Nice vising the place... We learned alot

Its an amazing place to learn about the history of slave trade in nigeria.

History!!!

Historical place, but neglected.

How I wish this place is well kept

The entire experience was heart felt. We took a small boat to the island. The wait time was pretty long because we had to wait for the boat to return with people first. Upon arrival, we began the journey that our ancestors went through. It was not anywhere near the brutal experience they went through but to just walk those steps gave time for reflection. I enjoyed our guide who stopped at different points and explained some necessary information. It is highly recommended.

Nice place to be

Ancient city stories , telling itself with the images, statues and other materials.

An Historical site. Where pictures and memories of slavery are stored. And also Guides available

Darkness of our world...

Don't waste your time coming here. It's not a museum. It's more of a mishmash of poorly presented items. The curator was awful. Instead of advertising it as a slave museum, it should be called what it actually is...the old compound of a Nigerian slaver named Seriki Abass Williams. There are no facilities to use after coming off a very dangerous road. No prices are posted and before we could even park our car, we felt hustled. We never got to go across to the so called point of no return because I guide tried to hustle 10, 000 naira a piece from us. We later learned the boat ride is 500 to 1000 naira. To make matters even worse, there was a sick monkey chained up in a trash strewn cage. You can't make up what happened to us at Badagary. Go visit the slave museums in Senegal and Ghana. The information is presented in a professional educational manner. Badagary is disrespectful to the memory of the men, women, and children who were transported from its shores.

It was a nice experience to see how our ancestors were sold in bulk for ceramic bowls and wine

It's a historical site.

It houses all the things used during slave trades time, it's educating and interesting

This place is were people from far come to know the history of slaves trade and is a nice and lovely place people from afar come there to know things of the oldies day. So is a nice place

It was really lovely, a good place for tourism

It was an educating and humbling experience. I'm glad we visited the museum and the entire ancient city of Badagry and it's lovely beach... We have so much history in Nigeria! 😍

(Translated by Google) Getting from Lagos to Badagra is about 2.5 hours. The road is very bad. There are 4 museums on site. There is a fee of 500 nairas (approx. 1.20 €) per person for each. The guide guides us and tells the story of this place. It is worth choosing. (Original) Dojazd z Lagos do Badagry to jakies 2.5 h. Droga bardzo zła. Na miejscu sa 4 muzea. Za każde pobierana jest opłata 500 naira (ok 1.20 €) od osoby. Przewodnik oprowadza nas i opowiada historię tego miejsca. Warto sie wybrac.

A historical place its a nice and cool place
