Day out tomorrow... rain... west midlands. 9yr old

Question

Hi all,

does anyone have any suggestions to something I could do with my lil bro tomorrow. We'd planned to go to west mids safari park, but its pretty much going to be a wash out!

any ideas folks? My Brother is 9...well almost 10, and has been stuck in moms since the holidays began. I'd like to do something other than sitting around my house watching DVD's.

Money isn't much of an issue, and I have a car, so I'm really open to suggestions please!

Answer 1

Definitely Thinktank for 4 floors of interactive 9 year old excitement. It is open 7 days a week.

Answer 2

You should go to the SeaLife Centre! I love it there!

The website is http://www.sealifeeurope.com/local/index...

They have a huge tank with stingrays, sharks and a massive crab! Plus a turtle tank where you can walk through a glass tunnel. Its really cool! If you're over that way then there is a cinema on Broad street if you wanted to see a movie as well.

Also Broadway Plaza is just off the island at the end of Broad street where they have a bowling place, another cinema and a bunch of restaurants. You could walk from SeaLife Centre if it's not chucking it down but if not there's parking on site. The website is

Brimingham Museum and Art Gallery is free if you wanted to have a look round. Although some kids might find it boring!

There's also Cadbury World, Imax theatre and Thinktank. Although I have never been to any of these I've heard they're good. You can get more info at http://www.visitbirmingham.com/

Finally there's the Snowdome in Tamworth for ice-skating, skiing and whatever. The website is http://www.snowdome.co.uk/

Hope this is of some help! Have fun!
