Category: Things to do

There are plenty of things to do on a rainy day in Plymouth. Just because we are situated beside the sea, sadly doesn't mean we can always guarantee sunshine. 

Fortunately, there are loads of things to do under shelter in Plymouth if the rain clouds are out. Check out some of our suggestions on how you can spend the day.

                    

National Marine Aquarium 

Take a journey through the oceans at the National Marine Aquarium. Home to more than 4,000 underwater animals, discover wildlife from the shores of Plymouth Sound to the Great Barrier Reef.
