Cadbury's World
It's about as close as most kids will get to visiting Willy Wonka's legendary chocolate factory. Experience chocolate heaven at Cadbury's visitor centre - a fully interactive, educational multimedia centre dedicated to the story of Cadbury and chocolate. There are boardwalks and waterfalls, and loads of hands-on fun to enjoy at this unique visitor attraction.
Aston Hall
Built between 1618 and 1635, the hall is one of the last great examples of Jacobean architecture. Having been restored, visitors are now able to view its flamboyant period rooms containing fine furniture, paintings, textiles and metal work from the collections of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. 0121 327 0062
