Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum

It was a real gem, I could easily spend a whole day. We were visiting Birmingham city centre for a day. Till we arrived, I didn’t really know what to expect. It was fantastic! The outside play area was a real fun; so unique, packed with thought provoking interactive playing tools. I also found all the display of real models of steam engines, spitfires, parts of factory machines etc. very interesting. Extra tickets for planetarium experience was worthwhile too. We’ll definitely come again when we next visit Birmingham.

Amazing Experience at ThinkTank Museum, Birmingham We recently visited the ThinkTank Museum in Birmingham with our two kids (ages 10 and 16) and had an absolutely fantastic time. The museum is clean, modern, and incredibly well-maintained. It offers a wide range of fascinating exhibits that kept both of our children engaged and entertained. One of the highlights was the variety of hands-on experiments and interactive displays that really brought the exhibits to life. The museum does a great job of making learning fun and accessible for all ages, from younger children to teenagers. Both of our kids left feeling inspired and eager to learn more. Overall, we highly recommend the ThinkTank Museum for families, educators, or anyone with a curiosity about science and technology. It’s definitely worth a visit!

What a brilliant place!! By far the most interactive museum I have ever encountered, and very captivating for children. I feel like this is more than a science museum-we didn't expect to find such a wonderful collection of taxidermy, and a selection of arcade games from the 80's. The 'science garden' was the winner with our little scientist and he happily would've stayed outside for hours playing with all of the different experiments and trying all of the different mechanisms. He also favoured the robot on Level 3 which he enjoyed programming. There is so much to see and do here and we spent 4 hours, only leaving because I had a migraine. We certainly could've stayed longer. Park in the Millennium Point multistorey nearby (blue badge parking is free of charge). Accessible toilets were spacious and clean. Coffee shop could've been better, with no oat milk or coffee syrup, but you can't have it all.
