Hands On at Birmingham Thinktank Science Garden
Birmingham Thinktank; Tips & Tricks
1. Picnics are welcome at Birmingham Thinktank where you’ll find an extensive indoor lunch area on level zero for your convenience. Make use of the free cloakroom located close the Thinktank entrance, (whilst this is an unsupervised area it does offer an area to store non-valuable items).
2. Lockers are available for use that are located by the indoor water play area on level 2. You will need a £1 coin, (refundable), to operate the lockers with ample space for picnics & bulky belongings.
3. The Planetarium is not included within your ticket price & can become full quite quickly on busy days. Worth checking out the times of the planetarium shows and making your way to the area prior to show start times to avoid disappointment.
4. Worth packing some spare clothing for this setting as there are both indoor & outdoor water play features that most children quickly make a beeline for.
5. Not many people know that you can secure FREE entry to the Birmingham Thinktank Science Garden at selected times each day. Find out more information over at FREE entry to the Science Garden.
6. Why not combine Birmingham Thinktank alongside SEA LIFE Birmingham for a full day out. You can find more information over at SEA LIFE Birmingham Cheap Ticket & Promotional Voucher Guide.

How do i redeem my Tesco’s club card voucher? do i need to prebook? how will i be refunded?
Hi Yogi, simply redeem your clubcard voucher for reward partner codes before your visit and then present your partner codes at the Thinktank entrance on arrival. At Birmingham thinktank, you cannot book your tickets in advance with clubcard rewards, just on the day. Reward codes can be used to purchase standard individual adult, child, family or senior tickets & cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. It is worth selecting the correct amount of clubcard vouchers you would like to exchange and there is no money back for overpayment – however, you can top-up the price difference with another payment method, hope that helps, Liz
Any offers please. Taking four kids out for a treat as fathers away serving in our British Forces. Kids need some cheering up please can you help us?
Hi Denise, if you are travelling to Birmingham Thinktank by train you can take advantage of a 2 for 1 entry, (advance booking only) or if you’re traveling by bus, you can pick up 50% off entry charges when you book in advance. Tesco shoppers can redeem clubcard vouchers against entry tickets, (cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer). For those planning a late visit, worth noting that the Birmingham Thinktank Science Garden is open free of charge from 3pm each day. I’m not sure if there are any Armed Forces discounts you could take advantage of, best checking with the associated discount card offers for any further details, hope that helps, Liz
i have been recommended to visit think tank with my grandchildren and my daughters
however when I try and get a 2 4 1 ticket I have to be travelling from either Coventry or by train
we all live at castle vale and cant see why I cant have the same deal as any one else if this is not possible then I will decide to take them to somewhere else I am very annoyed at this discrimination towards the area you live in
Hi Pamela, try this 2 for 1 voucher for Birmingham Thinktank from Visittheheart that is available to all.
I have visited previously and the group of children I brought ,loved their experience. I am now looking to bring a different group so would like these questions answered, thanks.
I want to bring a young person in a wheel chair. Are all areas accessible by wheel chair? Have you got disabled changing facilities with a hoist for lifting ?
Regards
Val
Hi Val, I have to agree, I’m a big fan of Birmingham Thinktank too. Just to let you know that Topdogdays is independent of Birmingham Thinktank, (we simply let you know where the deals are), but you can find more details regarding accessibility over at Birmingham Thinktank if you download their Access Statement.
I took my two eldest boys to The Think Tank probably 10 years ago…. we had an amazing day out. I am taking my youngest tomorrow and I just hope he enjoys it as much.
Hi Hillary, I have to say I’ve always found the Think Tank to be a winner every time so hope you have a good day tomorrow. Do let us know how you get on & look out for the outdoor science garden too that is now part of the Think Tank too.
Please keep me updated on thinktank offers.
