Sea Life centre, Birmingham

Some of the most striking fish in the world are always on show at Birmingham's Sea Life centre, which is undoubtedly one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Midlands.

The centre boasts upwards of 60 displays of different kinds of marine and freshwater creatures and has a total of close to one million litres worth of water in use.

Children and adults alike won't fail to be impressed by the sheer array of underwater wildlife on show across four levels of specially-designed rivers and oceans.

Having won a number of regional tourism awards, the Sea Life centre is an essential day out for anyone visiting Birmingham and a major part of its focus is now on highlighting issues of conservation around the world.

In addition to Birmingham, Sea Life centres can be found at a number of other sites around the UK and parts of continental Europe.

National Express offers a quick and convenient way for anyone fascinated by fish to get to and from the aquarium centres located anywhere in the UK.
