If you are looking for a couple of hours of indoor fun to keep the kids busy, then Sea Life Birmingham is worth a visit.

I’d say it’s particularly suited to kids aged between four and eight - there’s enough to keep them interested, but it also only takes about 90 minutes to get round the centre, by which time younger kids might be ready for the next activity (or a bit of downtime).

There’s plenty to see, but the real wow-factor moment is the underwater tunnel at the end of the route through the attraction - it’s genuinely jaw-dropping.

Definitely keep your eyes peeled for discounts and special offers, as it can be expensive if you go at peak times and pay full price.
