This is a great family day out. Our children are aged five and have completely different interests but were both entertained for the whole day. they loved the interactive nature of this place and the fact that there was plenty of space to run about and they could see things as many exhibits were at low eye levels.

I have to say I did enjoy my visit to the Thinktank; this museum is quite fun and divided over four levels so there is plently to see and engage. Each level is themed around a different time period of science, ranging from machines of the past on the ground floor to ideas of the future on the top floor.... More

I wanted to write a review for Eastside City Park which now leads you to the Thinktank from the centre of Birmingham, but there was no site registered here, However we visited the Thinktank and Science Garden as well today so I can cover all three. The newly opened Eastside City Park was the only part of this site that... More

Fairly easy to find and lots of parking. It is set out over 3 levels and is part of the IMAX cinema complex. I took my 2 boys aged 10 and 12 at the time. There were a lot of interactive exhibits and it took a few hours to get round it. However, not planning to go again as don't... More

We visited over Easter and, with the very cold weather, the museum was packed with families opting for an indoor attraction. The museum seems to constantly improve and virtually every exhibit is interactive. The outdoor science park was something new since our last visit and was great fun for the children. The indoor water play and street scene were also... More

We very much enjoyed the thinktank and didn't have any time being bored walking around as there was so much to do. It would be great for families but also interesting to adults and older teens.

We are now regular visitors here after purchasing an annual ticket and we still run out of time on each visit. There is so much to see and do. Small gripes (if I had to find any): 1) The quality of the food in the cafe has improved recently but staff could do with being quicker to clean up and... More
