Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum

Wonderful day out with my hubby and the kids at the Thinktank! Lots to see and do. The kids loved all the interactive aspects of the museum. Accessible toilets available. Cafe available. Would definitely go again.

Mixed Bag Floor 0 had a lot of exciting technology exhibits. Science Garden was very inventive and fun for the kids. However from then on the quality went down up the floors. Planetarium was just ok and a short show. The Gamesworld was the worst in service and quality.

We loved our visit here. The kids loved every minute spent at the Thinktank. There's so much to see... and so much to do. We didn’t get to see the whole place even though we spent almost 3hours here! Our visit here was definitely one of the highlights of the day. We will love to visit again.

We had a very nice visit to the Thinktank Museum in Birmingham. It was a great place to spend quality time with family, with lots of interesting and interactive exhibits. Our 11-year-old son especially enjoyed it and was excited throughout the visit. Overall, it was a fun, educational, and memorable experience for all of us.

Amazing place to visit for adults and children. My 2 year old loved it even at his age. Unfortunately the day was ruined by an abundance of rude school children that were totally out of control. I believe there was 3 schools visiting, surely it would make sense to close the site while the schools visit.

Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum is a fantastic place for a day out with kids - educational, interactive, and genuinely fun for the whole family. It’s full of hands‑on exhibits where children can touch, try, build and experiment, which makes learning about science, technology and history feel very natural and exciting. There are themed zones covering everything from the human body and engineering to space and the natural world, so kids of different ages can all find something that really grabs their attention. The museum also offers regular shows, workshops and demonstrations, which add even more variety to the visit and help keep children engaged throughout the day. The whole place is very family‑friendly: there are clear signs, lifts and facilities for buggies, as well as plenty of toilets and baby‑changing areas, which makes moving around with children much easier. There are also quiet corners to sit down, have a snack and take a break when the kids (or parents!) need to recharge. Staff are friendly and helpful, and they are great at explaining activities and answering curious questions from children. Overall, is a brilliant choice if you’re looking for a museum where kids can learn a lot, burn off energy, and still leave asking when they can come back again.

The Thinktank Science Museum in Birmingham is generally an interesting place for both adults and children. The exhibitions are varied and could be great for kids if more of the interactive stations actually worked. Unfortunately, several of them were out of order, which makes the visit less engaging for children. For £43 including the planetarium for two adults, I expect the interactive areas to be better maintained. The price doesn’t match the current condition and usability of many exhibits. Overall okay, but definitely needs improvement.

Just bought a family Birmingham Museums Family annual pass, great value. Went to the Think Tank yesterday with our 5 year old Grandson, he loved it - so did we! So much to see, very friendly helpful staff.
