Birmingham things to do on a Saturday
Posted: Thu May 10, 2007 12:11 PM UTC
I've got to go and work in Birmingham all day Saturday (12th May), so will be going to New Street Station. My wife and 13 year old daughter are with me, so they want to wander around. Other than the usual retail therapy, any suggestions as to what there is to do around that area?

Thanks
James

The cathedral is interesting and the Art Gallery is excellent (superb collection of Pre Raphaelites) - but they may not be into that.

Why not try THINK TANK at Millenium Point (not to far fron city centre - about 10 mins walk or short bus trip). Its an interactive science themed centre that may appeal to your child (and is quite interesting for the grown ups too!)

Thanks everyone, ThinkTank it is, and maybe a nostalgic trip to Dudley Zoo.
