This is a good interesting day out for all the family. The place basically incorporates two attractions, first is 'Thinktank' which has taken over from the old birmingham science museum. It is an educational 'hands on' science museum and has things like learning about medical techniques and how the body works to how appliances work such as microwaves etc, there are also exhibits about birmingham and its history along with real steam engines and a real size spitfire hanging from the ceiling. The other major attraction in the building is an imax cinema screen, it has a 50 ft screen and most of its films are in 3 dimensions, you are given special 3 dimensional glasses upon entering and some of the effects are pretty good, most of the films last about 45 minutes, but i recently went ot see batman the dark night there. Lastly the building does house some rooms for matthew boulton college andthese can be seen in the corridor. the prices are ok and its well worth a visit if you havent been there before and live in the birmingham area.
