Explore and play with the interactive city; see airships swoop and towers glow as the little land changes from day to night. Our mischievous Minifigures love hiding in MINILAND – who will you spot?
• LEGO 4D Cinema - Watch whilst our 3D film changes before your eyes to a 4D cinema experience with rain, wind and even snow, all under one roof. Our movies are shown on rotation and last approx 20-30 minutes. The last showing will be one hour before closure.
• Kingdom Quest - The captured Princess needs your help! Hop aboard your chariot on the Kingdom Quest ride to rescue her. Be warned, there are beastly trolls and sneaky skeletons lurking. Can you zap them all to save the Princess? A magical ride for all the family to experience.
• Creative Workshop - Our Master Model Builder can create ANYTHING from LEGO® bricks. Catch our special workshops to discover insider tips and super tricks on building with LEGO®. Join us at various times throughout the day - included in your admission price.
• LEGO DUPLO Farm - Little builders can let their imaginations loose in our DUPLO Farm. Build a colourful DUPLO flower for the farmer's garden, or wiggle and slide around the barn and play with our special, big, soft bricks. Don’t forget to say hi to the farmyard cow: moooo!
• LEGO City: Soft Play! - Create memorable experiences in one of the Birmingham's best soft play areas. Climb, jump and slide in our themed LEGO city soft play area with all the new friends you'll make.

Every day, you can create buildings in the most unique city that you can imagine. From huge skyscrapers to cosy cottages, the possibilities truly are endless. You’ll meet the heroes of LEGO City and the girlfriends of Heart Lake, and help to construct the City which they call their home.
• 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, pedal as fast as you can to help Merlin conjure his magic – can you reach the skies and become Merlin’s top wizarding apprentice? 
• LEGO Racers: Build and Test - There are thousands of bricks waiting for you in the LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre’s Build & Test zone. What shapes and vehicles will your imagination create today? Time your racing car on our speed test track. The stopwatch is exact to the hundredths of a second, so even the smallest change could make all the difference! All ages are welcome, so there’s no excuse not to join in.
