Things To Do & Days Out In Birmingham

First stop on the agenda for things to do in Birmingham will have to be the chocolate lovers paradise – Cadbury World! Fill your pockets full of your favourite chocolatey and sweet treats as you enjoy a tour that would make Willy Wonka feel proud.

Animal lovers are catered for on Birmingham family days out too. The Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park is home to a wide range of animals from around the world, from friendly lemurs to endangered reptiles, or explore the world beneath the waves at the National Sea Life Centre.

 Just two miles outside of the city you can embrace the open space at Ackers Adventure, an outdoor play area that offers tobogganing, climbing, kayaking, archery and much more, before scoring a strike on one of the 22 bowling lanes at Birmingham Star City.

In summer, finish your day off at the Green Flag-awarded Cannon Hill Park, where you can make the most of the warm weather by taking a boat out onto the lake and enjoying a picnic as the children play.
