Half-term Hijinks – Things to do

Family walking across the fountains in Central Square at Brindleyplace.

Family friendly restaurants and attractions offer your entire family a great day out here at Brindley!

An ocean of discovery

There’s so much to see and do at National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham, whether your family enjoys the cuteness overload of sea otters Ozzy and Ola, Gentoos of the Penguin Ice Adventure, or journey though the underwater world of the ocean tunnel and come face-to-face with Mo the sea turtle or Bev the octopus.

PJ Masks team members Gekko, Catboy and Owlette are on a blue background with jellyfish for a National SEA LIFE Centre activity.

And for the younger set, can they help the PJ Masks ‘Stop the Marine Mayhem’ at SEA LIFE Birmingham? The Night-Time Baddies have caused mayhem and Catboy, Owlette and Gekko need your help to restore the aquarium to its usual peaceful self. Follow the activity trail games throughout the exhibits and meet Gekko in person. They’ll treasure their PJ Masks hero badge long after completing the mission.

New friends and tasty mains

At Bank restaurant and Piccolino there are brand new kid’s menus and extra special friends for your little ones to meet – Artie the bear cub and Piccoli Tize the bunny. Club Individual members will receive a special reward for their little ones when they dine throughout half-term, so remember to download the app and to sign up!

You can choose from family favourites that have the dishes you know and love from Wagamama, PizzaExpress or Zizzi. Or take your family’s tastebuds on an adventure with Tex-Mex, Latin American and Persian flavours from Perios, Los Iguanas or Qavali. Tables are booking quickly, so reserve yours now!
