Star City, Birmingham - 0121 270 4455

Star City is a family leisure and entertainment complex in Aston, Birmingham, England. It is located in the north east of the city very close to Junction 6 of the M6 motorway, and Aston railway station.DevelopmentThis former derelict industrial land was developed as part of a regeneration scheme for the Heartlands area and to change Birmingham's image for the 21st century. Its centrepiece is the 25-screen Vue cinema, at the time the largest cinema in Europe. The construction was carried out by Wolverhampton based firm Carillion. The complex was formally opened in July 2000 by actors George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg to coincide with the UK premier of The Perfect Storm. With some 392,000sqft of leisure space, it is one of the largest leisure complexes in the United Kingdom.AttractionsA 22-lane Megabowl bowling alley was revealed when Star City opened and has remained since - however, this has now been re-branded as Tenpin. By the end of 2003, it was the largest leisure park in the country ahead of The Printworks in Manchester and The Mailbox in Birmingham city centre.
