Indoor places to go in the Torbay area

We're going to Brixham for half-term holiday and I'm wondering what to do with the DCs on rainy days. We'll have our two DSs (3 and 4) and a nephew (14). Can anyone suggest any good indoor places to go - child-friendly museums, soft play, swimming, etc. Thanks!

In Torquay, there is the Rainbow Fun House, converted church which is now an indoor play centre. Great fun. Pizza Express at the bottom of the road.

There are some caves too near there, but haven't been there.

There is a Sea Life Centre equivalent in Torquay, which is half inside half outside!

They sound good. Thanks!

Kents cavern is supposed to be good.
The Waves swimming pool on the seafront at Torquay is OK, children like it anyway. slides and waves.

Paignton Zoo is a traditional zoo, Living Coasts zoo on the Torquay seafront has penguins etc.

National aquarium at Plymouth but it gets very popular on wet holiday days.

The Exeter museum is very child friendly but I think it might be closing soon for refurbishment. Totnes and Torquay have museums too.

Castle Drogo on Dartmoor, or Powderham castle (which does good ghost tours in half term).

Thanks, Fennel. The Waves sounds great. Also like the sound of the ghost tour.
