The award-winning £36m indoor water park just one hour from Nottingham

The summer holidays are well and truly upon us and we know how important it is to have plans in place to occupy the kids.

With more hot weather on the way in August, this might be just the thing you're looking for to fill a day.

The Wave is an indoor water park right in the middle of Coventry city centre and is definitely one to visit this summer as it includes six water slides, a wave machine and a splash zone for younger children.

From high-speed slides and a fun-packed splash zone to the wave pool and relaxing lazy river, there’s something for thrill, spill and chill seekers of all ages to enjoy.

It's not too far a drive either, clocking in at just over an hour from Nottingham via the M1 and M69.

The building reportedly cost £36.7 million to build and each level is connected via a spiralling ramp to ensure all ages and abilities can access the fun.

The Wave is one of the most accessible leisure facilities in the UK for which it was awarded a prestigious Leading Edge Award by the World Waterpark Association.

For those that fancy something a little different there is the luxurious Mana Spa that offers relaxing treatments, or head to the state-of-the-art, 120 station, Lifestyles fitness suite with views of the waterpark.
