Birmingham's ThinkTank Museum is Free! 🆓🎉
After several visits to Birmingham, I finally had the chance to check out this museum. Since I wasn't sure about the timing, I didn't buy tickets online in advance, and I'm glad I didn't! When we got to the ticket booth, the lady asked how we arrived but didn't mention any discounts. I remembered reading about discounts with train tickets, and even though we drove, I casually asked if there were any deals. She said train and bus tickets get half-price, so we quickly got a £2 bus pass. To our surprise, when we went to buy the tickets, another elderly gentleman asked if we had a Tesco Clubcard, and we did, so we got in for free! We only paid for the planetarium and space show tickets. Shocked and delighted! 😂 First Floor: Various engines, car and airplane models, and a mechanical arm making cars, which made it hard for the little boy to move on! 🚗👦 Second Floor: A variety of interactive mechanical models, car repair, electricity generation, and games about body parts, allowing children to learn through experience. Third Floor: Minibrum, a mini town with shops, construction sites, restaurants, hair salons, parks, car repair shops, where children can pretend to cook and play house, they just didn't want to leave! 🏠👶 Outside the third floor, there's an excavator that can operate to dig out ocean balls, interactive robots, and various animal specimens. Overall, the museum isn't very big, but it's quite playable. The small soft play area on the top floor is suitable for younger kids, with various cosplay rooms where my younger sister could play for a long time, but my older brother wasn't too interested. #UKFamily #Birmingham #BirminghamMuseum #ThinkTankMuseum #GreatPlaceForKids #ParentChildActivity
