Local tips
- Book online in advance to secure your time slot and often save on entry prices; walk-up prices tend to be higher.
- Arrive at the start of your booked time slot to make the most of your visit, as queues for rides and the cinema can build up, especially during school holidays.
- Bring a change of clothes for younger children, as the soft play and water-themed areas can get messy, and allow time for breaks between activities.
- Visit the LEGO shop at the end of your trip; it can be accessed without an attraction ticket and is a great place to pick up souvenirs or special sets.

A World Built from Bricks
Step into a vibrant, brick-filled universe where imagination takes physical form. LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Birmingham is an indoor family attraction designed specifically for children aged 3–10, with everything scaled to their size and energy levels. From towering LEGO sculptures to interactive play zones, the centre is a celebration of creativity, engineering, and play. The atmosphere is bright, cheerful, and intentionally chaotic in the best way – a place where kids can run, build, and explore freely while adults join in or relax nearby.Miniland and Local Landmarks
One of the centrepieces is Miniland, a detailed LEGO recreation of Birmingham and the surrounding Midlands region. Crafted from over 1.5 million bricks, it features recognisable local landmarks in miniature, complete with moving vehicles, tiny trains, and flickering lights. Children love spotting familiar buildings and bridges, while adults appreciate the craftsmanship and playful details hidden throughout the display. It’s a clever blend of local pride and LEGO artistry, offering a unique perspective on the city through the lens of plastic bricks.Rides, Cinema, and Play Zones
The attraction includes two rides: a gentle Kingdom Quest chariot ride where kids help rescue a captured princess, and a spinning wizard ride that’s perfect for younger thrill-seekers. There’s also a 4D cinema experience, where films come to life with wind, mist, and motion effects, often themed around popular LEGO franchises. The LEGO City soft play area is one of Birmingham’s most popular indoor play spaces, with slides, tunnels, and climbing structures, while build and test zones let children experiment with their own creations, from cars to towers, and even test them on special tracks.Family-Friendly Design and Practicalities
The layout is designed to keep families together, with clear sightlines and plenty of seating for adults. There are dedicated areas for younger children, including DUPLO and Friends zones, and regular activities led by Master Model Builders that encourage group building and creativity. Adults must be accompanied by a child to enter, reinforcing the focus on family play. The centre is located in the Utilita Birmingham Arena complex, close to the National Sea Life Centre, making it easy to combine with other city centre attractions for a full day out.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
