Aquariums & Sea Life in Coventry
If you fancy an aquarium day out from Coventry, the trip is to SEA LIFE Birmingham, a drive out to Birmingham. Under one roof you get sharks, otters and a walk-through ocean tunnel, all indoors so the weather doesn't matter. Tickets start from £19 and it's open to all ages, which makes it easy for babies right up to older kids who fancy the sharks. Booking ahead is required rather than optional, and it's card only on site, so have that sorted before you set off. There's a baby change and accessible toilets, plus wheelchair access throughout, and it's reachable by public transport if you'd rather skip the drive. With just the one aquarium in reach, the choosing bit is really deciding when to go and how far ahead to book.
