Uyo, capital of Akwa Ibom is renowned for her serenity, safety, hospitality, well-paved roads and arguably the best of delicious delicacies. A city of slightly over half a million residents with her international airport one hour drive from the city centre. She has enough to wow her visitors. Here are four interesting places to visit in Uyo.

Discovery Park


Located along Udo Umana Street. With the popular market – Akpan Andem – and the Township Stadium in propinquity. It is a nature themed park that is characterised by scenic views of the old stadium and the surrounding environment. Revellers can indulge themselves in the delicacies available in the park while melodious songs are played by the audio team. Delicacies include but not limited to: Isi-ewu, Nkwobi (made using cow’s leg and tail), Dog meat (popularly called 404), chicken prepared in different forms – deliciously, goat meat pepper soup, barbecue fish and lots more. Akwa Ibom is known for her array of mouth-watering soups ranging from Afang to Editan to Afia Efere (White soup) to Atama to Edika Ikong and others. Albeit, not a soup, the legendary Ekpang Nkuwo is available. Discover them at Discovery!

Ibom Tropicana Centre


Situated along Udo Udoma Way in Uyo. This is the number one entertainment centre in the state. Modelled after Sun City in South Africa with Silverbird Cinemas as the anchor tenant. Movie tickets range from N1, 000 – 1,500. With students in tertiary institutions and corps’ members paying 20% less the fee (Note: Have a form of identification). Another notable tenant is Silver Lounge Restaurant, with her rich array of meals – continental and African. This is an environment lovers will find romantic. Additionally, the centre provides visitors with activities such as bike riding, electronic games, snooker etc. to immerse themselves in.

Museum of Arts and Culture


For arts and culture lovers, this is one place to visit. Established in 1989, this is a centre of archival items, ethnographic collections and artifacts of the state’s history. It is also a centre for museum education and sales of memorabilia. It is situated along Udo Udoma Way.

Playground

Located at 36, Dominic Etuk Avenue (formerly known as Brooks Street). Playground which is similar to Discovery Park but more popular offers a serene place for friends, associates and family to unwind after the hustle and bustle of life. With more than 15 aesthetically designed bars that offer the best of delicacies, and an open space wide as an Olympic size football stadium, it can host events of relative attendance. With a standby musical band and avenues for sporting activities, entertainment never ceases at Playground.1111-300x169 Interesting Places to Visit In Uyo, Akwa Ibom StateTour Her Culinary Sites

Tour Her Culinary Sites

The people of the state are renowned for their exceptional culinary skills, which have produced some of Nigeria’s best delicacies. The home of Afang. Atama, Edika Ikong, Editan, Afia efere soups, and not forgetting Ekpang Nkukwo. Home to some of Nigeria’s well-paved roads, I implore you to tour the city. Visit the popular Mummy J; Ola’s Place (for your Yoruba meals); Kilimanjaro (both continental and local); Food Affairs, and the various culinary outfits by the Ibibios. Taste the city through her delicacies.

Not
Bad

Ok

And my house


I reserve a pot of dog meat for you.

AKWAIBOM ADO OK......AKWAIBOM AYAYA.......UYO AYAYA......

Gentlevin:
AKWAIBOM ADO OK......AKWAIBOM AYAYA.......UYO AYAYA......

Idem mfo?

Stadium nko

Akwa-ibom yaya, may love for that state ehn.

How I wish Nigerians could be one! How I wish I could travel down to east without the fear of been kidnapped! How I wish I could go all the way up to the north without the anxiety of been slaughtered like a goat. Even in the west I reside, I still have the fear of been used for ritual. Unfortunately, Nigeria doesn't seem like a country which could accommodate unity. We all have our roles to play as Nigerians. Let the Northerners peacefully explore the beauty of the East and the Westerns embraced in the North. Discrimination won't lead us anywhere, but to destruction of lives and property.

Naija is beautiful and we are beautiful people.

I'm a yoruba boy and I love you all no matter where you come from

hmmm

How much does her citizens earn?
The state is rich but the people are poor.

Crankshaft:
And my house


I reserve a pot of dog meat for you.

Op Akwa Ibom nyin ado ok.
You forgot to mention the 21 storey Mobil headquarters presently being constructed around banking layout, 8 lane Ibaka deep sea port road presently under construction too.

alphacyborg:
Ok

Filthy Yoruba sub-human. Why are you guys creatures so full of hate and envy?
Can't you just give kudos to people who are actually doing something worthwhile?

Roasted plantain and chicken in Uyo too is a great delicacy.

is that all?

I reserve a pot of dog meat for you.

The way you guys talk about this dog meat ehn. See, not every Akwa Ibomite eats dog I. It's a matter of choice. More than half of the population don't. The funny thing is that it's people that come from other state that take over the eating once they taste it. Ask students that are non indigenes.

This places is not as fine as the picture you are posting op

Discovery park is a minute trek from my apartment and it doesn’t look like the picture you posted

Bros a high level of illiteracy is the bane of the whole problems emanated from the Northern certain tribe....when people are educated you cant think of laying siege in another community just to wipe out generation......Even the Bible says study to show yourself approve a workman that need not be ashame of the gospel of Jesus Christ rightly dividing the word of truth........how did you expect people to rightly divide the truth when they don't even know left and right.......people fight for their god instead of allowing God to fight for itself......illiteracy is our problem simple...we inter marry but yet when issues concerning another tribe emerges every body will forget that their route are intertwine
