Its small but the Birmingham nature centre on Pershore road is good, I love the Severn Valley railway.
Stratford (butterfly farms good) and Worcester nice for days out and wandering round......
Warwick castle good if you can get cheap deals - I went on Chiltern trains and it was £11 train and castle combined.
