Aquariums & Sea Life in Birmingham
SEA LIFE Birmingham is the one to know, right in the middle of the city. Sharks glide overhead, otters potter about, and there's a walk-through ocean tunnel that stops everyone in their tracks. Tickets start from £19, and it's all indoors, so a rainy Tuesday in Birmingham is sorted. It suits any age, from babies up, with baby changing and wheelchair access in place. Book ahead, as it's booking required, and bring a card since it's card only on the day. It's an easy one to reach by public transport if you'd rather skip the car, and it works well for group bookings too if you're planning a bigger trip. There isn't another aquarium listed nearby, so this is the day out for sea creatures in the city right now.
