1. 🏙️ MINILAND — Birmingham in Bricks

See the spectacular MINILAND, full of Birmingham's most famous landmarks entirely re-created in LEGO. Explore and play in the interactive version of the city and recognise the local landmarks built from more than 1.5 million bricks. Watch airships swoop and towers glow as the little land changes from day to night — and keep an eye out for mischievous Minifigures hiding throughout. It's a uniquely local experience that visitors from the US, Canada, or Europe won't find anywhere else in the world!

2. 🎬 LEGO 4D Cinema

Watch whilst a 3D film changes before your eyes to a 4D cinema experience with rain, wind and even snow — all under one roof. Movies are shown on rotation and last approximately 20–30 minutes. Full showings of NEXO KNIGHTS™, NINJAGO™, and the LEGO® Movie are screened, with cool environmental effects that draw you right into the action. Kids absolutely lose their minds when the weather effects kick in — and honestly, so do the adults.

3. ⚔️ Kingdom Quest Laser Ride

LEGOLAND Birmingham features two fantastic rides, including the Kingdom Quest ride where you hop onboard a chariot and shoot targets in an attempt to rescue the captured Princess — zapping beastly trolls and sneaky skeletons along the way. It's a competitive, action-packed experience where the whole family can compare scores and argue about who's the best dragon-slayer.

4. 🧙 Merlin's Apprentice Ride

Enter Merlin's magical potion room and discover a LEGO® wizard's world of spells and sorcery — round and round you go, pedalling as fast as you can to help Merlin conjure his magic and reach the skies. It's the perfect ride for younger kids who want to feel like real wizarding heroes, and parents can join in the fun too!

5. 🏎️ LEGO Racers: Build & Test Zone

The creative building zones are a highlight, allowing visitors to construct their own cars to race down ramps, test earthquake-proof structures, or simply build whatever their imagination conjures. You can also challenge your friends at the Build & Test race track to see who gets the quickest time. This is where competitive families shine — expect laughter, rivalry, and plenty of re-builds.

6. 🧱 Master Model Builder Workshop

The Master Model Builder can create anything from LEGO® bricks. Catch their special workshops to discover insider tips and super tricks on building with LEGO® — held at various times throughout the day and included in your admission price. These sessions are genuinely inspiring for kids and adult fans alike, offering a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into professional brick artistry.

7. 🌆 LEGO City Builder

Bring your imagination and creativity to life in the City Builder experience where you'll help build the coolest LEGO City ever — your very own Miniland! Every day, you can create buildings in the most unique city imaginable, from huge skyscrapers to cosy cottages. It's a hands-on creative outlet where every family's city looks completely different — and kids take enormous pride in their creations.

8. 🐄 LEGO DUPLO Farm

Little builders can let their imaginations loose in the DUPLO Farm — building colourful DUPLO flowers for the farmer's garden, or wiggling and sliding around the barn and playing with special big, soft bricks. Don't forget to say hi to the farmyard cow! This zone is perfectly designed for the very youngest visitors (under 3s), making it an inclusive space for even toddler-aged travellers.

9. 🛝 LEGO City Soft Play

Create memorable experiences in one of Birmingham's best soft play areas — climb, jump and slide in the themed LEGO City soft play area and make new friends along the way. After hours of building and riding, this is the perfect energy-burner for kids who still have fuel in the tank, and a welcome breather for tired parents on the sidelines.

10. 🛍️ The LEGO Store

Take home a souvenir from your LEGO® adventure at LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Birmingham — or pop by any time, as you don't need a LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre ticket to visit the shop. The store stocks all the latest LEGO® products including LEGO CITY, LEGO HARRY POTTER, and LEGO STAR WARS, with brick experts who can help you find the latest set or the perfect gift. You can also see exclusive LEGOLAND sets only available to purchase from select LEGOLAND outlets.

For visitors — whether you're a family road-tripping through the UK, a duo of LEGO-obsessed adults on a themed holiday, or transatlantic travellers ticking off England's best family attractions — LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Birmingham punches well above its weight. It's the ultimate indoor LEGO® playground for families with young builders, with 8 attractions and 2 awesome rides under one roof that guarantees fun whatever the weather.

Even though the attraction is primarily for kids, LEGO doesn't leave out the adults — once a month, LEGOLAND Discovery Centre holds Adult Nights where the older kids can enjoy a night building and playing with all things LEGO. And with the combo ticket option, you can pair your visit with Warwick Castle, The National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham, and Cadbury World — all visitable within 90 days of your LEGOLAND visit.

Book Online in Advance. Book your tickets in advance to guarantee your admission to this in-demand attraction. Walk-up prices are significantly higher than online rates.

No Outside Food. Outside food is not permitted, except for those with special dietary requirements. The on-site café offers light meals, sandwiches, paninis, and sweet treats.

Morning

Start your Birmingham day early by arriving at LEGOLAND Discovery Centre right at the 9:30 opening. Surround yourself with millions of LEGO Bricks, take flight on Merlin's Apprentice, blast skeletons on the Kingdom Quest ride adventure, and build epic LEGO creations alongside master builders. Hit the two rides first while queues are shortest, then make your way to the MINILAND to spend quality time spotting hidden Minifigures and watching the day-to-night light show.

Mid-Morning

Head to the LEGO 4D Cinema for the first showing of the day — catch a NINJAGO or LEGO Movie screening and enjoy the immersive wind and rain effects. The 4D cinema lasts about 15 minutes per film with showings every 20 minutes throughout the day. Follow this up with the Master Model Builder Workshop — check the daily schedule at the entrance for exact times.

Late Morning / Lunchtime

Let the kids loose in the Build & Test Zone and LEGO City Builder, then burn off energy in the LEGO City Soft Play. For families with toddlers, the DUPLO Farm is a lovely, gentle wind-down zone. Grab lunch at the on-site café with the meal deal options before heading out.

Afternoon

Make your way across the road to the National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham — a fantastic combo especially for kids, turning your half-day LEGOLAND visit into a full, well-rounded family day out. The aquarium is home to hundreds of sea creatures including sharks, rays, and seahorses, and makes for a wonderfully different second act to your brick-filled morning.

Late Afternoon

Before heading home, swing back through the LEGO Store for souvenirs, exclusive LEGOLAND sets, and a browse of the full LEGO range. Watch airships swoop and towers glow one last time as the Miniland changes from day to night — and try to spot all the mischievous Minifigures you might have missed the first time around. The perfect brick-built ending to an unforgettable Birmingham day! 🧱✨
