About this activity

Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum is a truly exciting and engaging science museum located in the heart of the West Midlands. It's the perfect place to visit for families who are looking for a fun, educational day out that's packed full of interesting things to see and do.

One of the key things that makes Thinktank so appealing for families is the sheer range of activities and exhibits on offer.

The museum is split into several different zones, each with its own unique themes and exhibits. There's a section on transport, a planetarium, a gallery dedicated to medicine, and even a whole floor dedicated to robots and artificial intelligence.

One of the highlights of Thinktank is its interactive exhibits. These are perfect for families with children of all ages, as they provide a hands-on experience that's both fun and educational. For example, there's a giant hamster wheel that demonstrates the concept of energy, a giant kaleidoscope that showcases the principles of light and colour, and even a massive water clock that demonstrates the flow of time.
