Parking in Birmingham

I’m taking the kids to the Sealife centre in Birmingham and looking for somewhere to park, the trouble is I drive a 9 seater tall vehicle (the size of a transit van).
Does anyone know of a car park I could use that’s open air? Either city centre or with easy links to the city centre?
Ive looked at the park and ride but these all seem to be miles away from Birmingham and as I’m coming from the south East would add a considerable amount of time to our journey just to get to them.

My husband and son go to Birmingham fairly regularly to watch football and they park and Worcestershire Parkway and have never had any problem. Apparently services every 30 mins, cheap, and it's open air so will be fine for your vehicle.

From memory when I had to look for our high vehicle a couple of years ago, the car park websites there were really good at putting the height info on. (I also check on Google street view to see if I can see it written on the entrance barriers 🤣).
Sorry but can't remember which one I ended up using.

Which direction are you traveling in from, you can park for free at Dudley train station.

You should also be aware there is a clean air zone charge in the centre of Birmingham. Might want to check the status of your vehicle before you enter the city.

There is literally a multistorey in brindley place where the sea life centre is.

But it had height barriers! The op is in a high vehicle

Digbeth Car Park, it’s opposite the coach station. Dirt cheap to park there all day. The only thing I can’t remember if there’s a height limit on entry.
