What to do with the Kids in Birmingham and the Black Country?

Start by downloading our activity card pack by CLICKING HERE. 


Great for visually planning your calendar, getting kids involved in the choosing and inspiring you when you’re stuck for ideas.


Each card pack has an image of the place, a rough idea of cost, parking/access information, toilets and whether there is a play area or cafe.

Then, use the links in the headings below to read more about each place in the pack (they’re all colour coded).

*No-one paid to be in the list, no-one is receiving any kickbacks – this is just a tried and tested list of places gathered by the network!
