The Robot Garage is a family-owned place for kids of all ages to gather and do all things LEGO and Robotics. I recently attended a media event at The Robot Garage to find out more about them.
The day we were there the summer camps were in full swing. A group of kids were in the middle of building “Dancing Witches” — LEGO figures that were computer-controlled.
It was really interesting to see how each piece of art was unique. I loved seeing how proud the kids are with their creations! These kids are ACTIVELY taking part in planning out villages and then building them to scale – all out of LEGO’s.
The kids are also using robotics to make them creations move!! What a great learning experience.

The Shop
The front of the store is packed with LEGO sets, Hexbugs, and LEGO Mini-Figs (they sell some the Mini-Figs in packages that you can actually see into! According to my son they have some of the really rare ones….. pricey, but they have them.
The Robot Garage is located in Birmingham at 637 Eton Road. The building sits back a ways for the road so watch for the sign.
