Things to do with kids in Birmingham

Birmingham is the UK’s second city, in the heart of the Midlands.

Once a driving force in the Industrial Revolution, it was heavily damaged during World War II.

It now boasts a flagship shopping mall, the Bullring, two Championship football clubs – Birmingham FC and Aston Villa – and five universities.

The Arena hosts major music and sporting events ranging from Mickey Mouse and Friends to Ariana Grande, while the NEC is the home of great family-friendly events such as Crufts and the Big Bang Fair.

If you’re looking for things to do with kids in Birmingham, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

You could explore the wonders of the ocean at the National SEA LIFE Centre, or put your building skills to the test at the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, pay a visit to the Electric Cinema – the oldest working cinema in the UK – or check out a 4D movie at Cineworld Broad Street. If you have small children, don't miss our guide to the many baby activities in the city, from swimming to signing. We've also rounded up details of the best venues and entertainers for kids' parties, so if you're looking for ideas for your child's next birthday, you're in the right place.

With animal parks, theme parks, car boot sales and plenty of places to eat and drink, there’s something to do for every type of family.
