    sea-life centre is on three levels but a VERY small cafe although you can picnic on a balcony near the otters. also the river bus ,,come out of sea-life, cross the bridge to the canal. trips from both sides.

    http://www.visittheheart.co.uk/offerlist.aspx?Page=1 this will give you half price offers in Black Country museum and Warwick castle. As you are going to the WM Safari Park why not add the Severn Valley Railway into the day.https://www.svr.co.uk

    In Birmingham walking around the canal netork is great and you can also visit the Cathedral where Edmund Burne Jones designed the stained galss windows in Pre Raphelite style. The art galler y with Edwardian tea rooms is beautiful

    If you like Chinese visit the Big Wok in the Chinese quarter where you can get a buffet before 5.00pm all you can eat for £4.99. Just down the Road in Hurst Street are the back to back houses owned by the National Trust https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-birmingham_backtobacks

    If you want you can even get a bus to Ludlow or a train to Malvern

    Kenilworth Castle is interesting and has a newly-opened recreated Elizabethan Garden

    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.

    If in Warwick Pichalinos pizza restaurant is nice and in Worcester Chesters Mexican restaurant is rather good!
