Legoland Discovery Centre Birmingham

What makes us a great choice for education?

LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Birmingham is the ultimate indoor attraction and is a great place for pupils to explore LEGO as an educational tool. Pupils can build, test and present their models to the class explaining why their structure can withstand natural disasters or how their vehicle was built for speed.

What is typically included on our school trips?

Every ticket includes entry to the attraction, access to the rides, play area, build and test area, MINILAND, 4D cinema and a lunch room.

The lead teacher will receive a free risk assessment and support throughout the booking process. Please note that we allow 1 free teacher/assistant for every 5 pupils. Additional adults will be charged at £15.50 each.

Group Sizes Catered For

We recommend large schools groups to split up and navigate through the attraction in manageable sizes of around 10-20 pupils. Our 4D cinema has 100 seat capacity so please keep enough time free if you wish to use.

Materials, Resources & Information Provided

Teachers can take advantage of the interactive elements of the attraction to create engaging workshops. For example…

• Utilise our earthquake tables to build tower high constructions and teach about the effects of earthquakes as well as the impact.
• LEGO Build and test allows pupils to test and make real life vehicles. Will your car move faster when built smaller or larger? What are the effects of pushing and pulling?
• See the landmarks of Birmingham recreated in LEGO Bricks in MINILAND and talk about the evolution of the city. What has changed? What landmarks do you recognise? What is new and what is old?
• Write a story with LEGO Friends. Think of a fairy tale that you have read and pick your favourite LEGO friend to star in your own story. Create a story board or the story and create an entire scene.
