On this visit we went to the Thinktank in Birmingham. This is a very interactive, hands on science museum, where there is plenty for everyone to do. John got the opportunity to practise his Braille skills but, alas, not his singing skills!

****Accessibility:** Excellent. All of us were able to engage with the hands-on exhibits  
  
**Prices and policies as we found them on our visit — always check with the venue before you go.*

Some of the exhibits are memorable to us because they made us laugh - for example when we pressed the button for the final stage of the digestive system! You’ll have to watch the video to see what happened there 🙂

Unfortunately, when we visited the planetarium was closed, which was a shame because we’d have really liked to have seen that. However, apart from that, we all had a great time. Accessibility is excellent and we all had the opportunity to engage with the interactive exhibits.

If any members of your party need a quiet space to go to, while you are there, there is a quiet room available for them.

Parking is available at Millenium Point. This is in a multi-storey car park of the type that you take a ticket on entry and pay on your way out. If you have a disabled parking badge, you can show this to a car park attendant and they will activate your ticket for you, so you are not paying for parking. Carers go in for free, at the Thinktank, and there is a concessionary price for disabled people.

We think that it’s definitely worth a visit. Check out our video below.
