Thinktank, Birmingham’s Science Museum
Where can you explore deepest space, find out how doctors perform life-saving surgery and travel back in time to Birmingham’s amazing industrial past, all under one roof? Thinktank, Birmingham’s award-winning science museum offers an extraordinary, fun-packed day out for all visitors. From steam engines to intestines, Thinktank has over 200 hands-on displays on science and technology from the past, present and future. This includes the state-of-the-art Planetarium, where you can tour the night sky and fly through the galaxy without stepping a foot outside!
Thinktank features four floors of exhibits as well as a packed programme of events and activities such as science shows, handling collections, storytelling, arts and lab activities, science busking and planetarium shows. A visit to Thinktank alone will earn a stamp in the back of your passport whilst taking part in one of the activities above will earn 1 hour of validated learning towards your graduation.
Thinktank is based within Millennium Point, just ten minutes walk from the Bull Ring in the centre of Birmingham and we have a competitively priced car park on site if you prefer to drive. Our opening times are 10am to 5pm, 7 days a week and more information on directions, visitor services and accessibility can be found at www.thinktank.ac
