With summer just around the corner, kids will soon be out of school and insisting on getting out of the house. Luckily, Downtown Birmingham has an abundance of family-friendly activities that will keep your kiddos entertained and create lifelong memories.
We know taking kids out for extended periods can be challenging; that’s why we have curated a list of experiences designed to be enjoyable within a manageable 3 – 4 hour timeframe. This way, both children and parents can make the most of their time without feeling overwhelmed or exhausted. These four experiences include lunch options and are tailored to different ages and personalities.
For your curious and inquisitive child:
Embark on an unforgettable adventure at the McWane Science Center for children ages 2-12. This interactive science hall, complete with an IMAX theater, is open from Wednesday to Sunday. It has an array of exhibits and special programs sure to spark wonder and curiosity.
Conveniently located just across the street, you can grab lunch from the Pizitz Food Hall. With over ten different vendors, your picky eaters have a ton of options to choose from. As a special treat, grab some homemade cotton candy from Spun Cow or a caramel apple from Birmingham Candy Company.
Enjoy your treat outside on the orange and blue Upswings!
