Baby activities & child friendly restaurant in Birmingham

[Mimile]

We are going to be in Birmingham for 3 days next week, our hotel is next to New Street (won't have a car). We don't know the place well, and I was hoping to find suitable activities on a shoe-string budget for 2 mums with DD 7 mo and DS 14 mo. SeaLife center sounded good, but a little pricey.
We will also be looking for a baby-friendly restaurant/pub in the evening.
Hope midlands mums can help!

We took DS to the Birmingham Sea Life Center for his 3rd birthday - he loved it. There were quite a few 2 for 1 deals at the time (March) so they might still be running. That area is a great for a day out. Lots to do and lots of places to eat. We took DS and 12 week old DD to Pizza Express and the staff were really nice.

Theres a museum nearby, the canal with ducks to feed and you're not far from a science museum kind of place which sounded good too.

I started a thread at the time to ask for places to eat and got loads of suggestions for other things to do. I'll see if I can find it.

here it is. Have a read through, there were quite a few suggestions of other places to vosot nearby as well as recommendations for good, child friendly places to eat.

Get a bus from the city centre to the Nature Centre - number 47 or 45.

Lots of family friendly places in Brindley Place - Pizza Express, Cafe Rouge etc and more in The Mail Box, a short walk from Brindley Place (both within walking distance of New Street and well sign posted iirc).

There is a soft play area in Kings Heath - bus number 35. Have not been but have a couple of friends who say it's fine. A couple of lovely organic cafes in Kings Heath too.

I need a little help from the midland mums too! Im going to Birmingham and am just going to get takeaway delivered to the hotel Which of this list of takeaways in Birmingham is the best?
