The Moshi Monsters splash down at The National SEA LIFE Centre in Birmingham this summer - and you can win a family pass to join them along with some extra Moshi prizes!

As well as a family pass, each winner will also receive a full set of series 10 Moshi Monsters figures and a Moshi Monsters Gumball Machine which holds over 120 collectible figures, including one exclusive Moshling, courtesy of //www.vividtoysandgames.co.uk.

What's your top tip for a happy day out in Warwickshire with the kids?

Answers in by 9am Friday July 25 please.

Katsuma, Poppet and Monstro City's number one Moshling conservationist, Buster Bumblechops, splash down at the centre this summer holiday and are on a mission to save our amazing marine creatures.

Join in the hunt and search the tanks to find missing marine Moshlings hiding at the underwater attraction in Birmingham. If you’re successful you will unlock Lubber the Whimsical Whale, a brand new Moshling exclusive to SEA LIFE and yours to keep the next time you visit moshimonsters.com.

Visitors also get the chance to swap Moshling collectable figures for favourites and rarities in the Moshling Swap Zone!

The National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham transports visitors to an amazing underwater world, where they get to see incredible sea life from all over the planet, from the coast of Britain and the chilly Antarctic, to the tropical waters of the Caribbean.

The aquarium is home to over 2,000 creatures, including the UK’s only hammerhead sharks, a colony of cheeky Gentoo penguins, a rescued Giant Green Sea Turtle and a trio of Asian Short Clawed Otters.

The Moshi Monsters will be in residence at the National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham from Saturday 19th July to Sunday 31st August.

We like Hatton Country World, there's always loads to do inside and out so all weather fun! The inlaws love taking our little ones there.

[chaderton321]

Sealife is so great especially when I live near by

[dc64]

always a great day out and good value!

[maciv234]

keep calm and go with the flow

I have two 18 month olds so I need to take them to places that there is lots to see that will keep their attention. We took them to Twycross last week and they enjoyed parts of it but were still a little young to get the full benefit.

I find taking the kids somewhere where they have a choice of things to do works well and we love Abbey Fields in Kenilworth because they can play in the park, feed the ducks, look at the brook and look for wildlife and even go into the swimming pool and watch the swimmers as my children have always liked to do!

[putneypup]

go to the castle!!!

[kathcake]

plan well ahead

[greig23]

sealife centre is hours of fun and excitment for kids

[KevF1966]

A trip to the Sealife centre is always a BIG hit with children

[carolinecordery]

I love St Nicholas Park in Warwick but I recommend discussing with the kids first exactly how much the budget is, if any, for the rides at the permanent fairground- you can't avoid seeing it and it's not too expensive if you do decide to go in.

[ckelly2304]

I always try to pack my daughter a little snack bag so that we don't have to spend as much on drinks and kiddie treats

[shscc]

Keep hydrated.

[Nickles83]

Make a day of it and take lots of frozen drinks and a picnic. There is so much to see and do, they have a great park plus the castle is great too. You could even take colouring pencils for the children to draw what they see.

[kezza1979]

Be flexible if what you've planned isn't working don't push it or take it t ok personally. What works one day won't the next. So long as you have snacks and drinks to keep you fed and watered plans are easy to change

[xgrahamx]

Plan well and be prepared

[JustJanet]

make sure you check the weather forecast and be prepared that it may be inaccurate! There is no such thing as wrong weather, just wrong attire...so layer up and fold up some water proofs. I always leave spare clothes and shoes in the car as a foot in a puddle for example could result little soggy feet putting a dampener on a great day out.

[piggy11]

Make sure you remember to pack everything you need! Go with the flow and remember to catch family memories on camera!

[FireRainbow]

Adaptable planning, adequate preparation.

[susanbelltaylor]

Bring suncream and plenty of drinks

[Pinklaa]

Wow, Moshi monsters + the sea life centre (Brilliant!)

My top tip is check the weather in advance, pick a nice clear day and visit the stunning Kenilworth castle, especially so if you haven't been before. I think this is a fantastic choice for families who like going on picnics with their children, have relaxing walks and you can also take a visit to the tearoom (Caters to vegetarians too!) Lots and lots of stuff to do.

Here is some photographs I took of the castle from the outside - definitely worth checking it out.

[whimsy]

Picnic, drinks and if your going to Warwick Castle book in advance online, so you can just go straight in.

Top tip carry what you can (food and drink wise) within reason and take cash so you know what you are spending. Many a time you can get your card out for purchases and not notice the spend, £20 in cash in the gift shop gets noticed far more.
