The historic Birmingham Botanical Gardens were opened back in 1832 after being designed in 1829. You’ll find over 7,000 different kinds of plants and a collection of exotic birds to admire. Of course, there are playgrounds and plenty of educational opportunities for the children too.

It’s easy to spend an entire day out exploring the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Start with the 4 different glasshouses, walk through the historic gardens and snap a photo under the gazebo. The main lawn and bandstand is a great place to stop for a picnic, or grab lunch at the Pavilion Tea Room. Sunday concerts at the bandstand are a popular time for the whole family.

There’s still the bamboo maze, butterfly house, woodland walk and children’s playgrounds to explore. And let’s not forget the fern gardens, scarecrow garden or the Bonsai garden. And when you’ve spent the day exploring the Birmingham Botanical Gardens grab a souvenir at The Shop on your way out.
