Think Tank - Don't miss it!
The Think Tank otherwise Birmingham Science Museum is housed in the new Millenium Point building with part of Birmingham University. There is so much to do and see here that I don't know where to start. Kids and adults will love it. The museum is spread over 3 levels - the City, the Past and the Future(think that's right!). So much is interactive, buttons to press, gadgets to operate - I took a 'cool' 11 year old who loved it. Just a sample - you can 'perform' a hip replacement operation; programme a robot to play the drums with your tune; fly a space ship. So much fun but also very educational - medicine matters, the body, plants and pests to name a few. The bottom level has really old machinery, cars and planes - the majority all working. Staff are really helpful and enthusiastic. There's also a very good shop and plenty of places to get refreshments and lunch in the building. Better still, if you go by train and show your rail ticket, you get a good discount off admission prices. A visit not to be missed!!
