Hubby and I took our Grandchildren to the 'Think Tank' Museum in Brum yesterday, what a brilliant place. Houses the old Science Museum in the basement, where all the things that were ever built in Brum, such as Cars, Trams, Aeroplanes, Motor Bikes, Gold, Silver, Swords, Clocks, Presses, Engines etc etc were on display, Birmingham was the Workshop of the World. On the other floors there is a Wildlife Display, Interactive Games and the Top Floor houses a fantastic Planaterium, that was brilliant, the whole 360 degree ceiling was transformed into the night sky. The children loved it and we would definitely go again. Would highly recommend. Linell.

Forgot to say that Darth Vadar and his Storm Troopers were walking around, they posed with our Grandchildren for some Photographs..........brill.

Sounds a brilliant place.
When its more interactive it keeps children interested and they learn more. Rather than being in a room where they have to be quiet, they just want to get out!
