Anyone about to give me advice about visiting Leamington Spa?

[ssd]

what is there to do if it's wet for boys age 5 and 8?

thanks, willing to travel by car to somewhere!

there is a funky monkeys in Warwick, a swimming pool which has a slide but is fairly plain otherwise....ummm laserquest at Coventry

ten pin bowling in leamington

do you know of any good swimming pools in the area with flumes/slides wave machines etc?

the kids love that kind of thing

no I think you have to go to stoke on trent or somewhere for that or swansea!

there is the snowdome at tamworth and escape at milton keynes depends how far you travel

Coventry swimming baths has a slide (I guess the 5yo would not meet height restriction tho) and a 'lazy river type thing that you go round.

Hatoon Country World has an indoor soft play area too. There's the tropical plant house in Jephson Gardens which is good for exploring but wouldn't take all day). Butterfly Farm at Stratford? ds likes the Air museum at Baginton.

Or even Hatton

we're visiting this week and it looks like it'll be wet, thats why we need somewhere indoors to spend a day! we'll be visiting \cad World, but need somewhere else to go. we've been to hatton a while ago, but too resticted if it's wet.

any good wet weather places?
ta!

They might like the Museum of British Road Transport in Coventry, which is free.

Or Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon (which isn't) although that's partly outside.

The Butterfly Farm at Stratford is another good indoor destination.

If you want to travel a little bit further there's Think Tank (aka the Birmingham Science Museum) which also has an IMAX cinema, or the SeaLife Centre in Birmingham (see here for discounted tickets}.

A bit further again, ds loved Enginuity which is part of the IronBridge Gorge collection of museums. Most of the others, which are on the same ticket, are at least partly indoors too.

What about Warwick Castle? It's mostly indoors.

My DH recommends the Transport Museum (free!) and in Cov.

There's ice skating in Cov and Solihull.

Hatton Country World is better for outside stuff but does have a rather nice old fashioned sweet shop.

I take it you won't want to shop but if you did I'd recommend a trip to the Bull Ring (Birmingham) or Bicester Shopping Village.

Oh - and Cadburys World.
