Great day out but I should have allowed more time to be there, 3 hours nowhere near enough. The fly me to the moon show was very entertaining. Activities for both adults & children fantastic.
Lots to see, easy to run out of time so take a look at what's available in advance to prioritise. If planning to visit several of the Birmingham Museum locations it's worth looking at a membership.
Wish we had more time there as we went from one show to the next - live animals - planetarium - fire show. All very very interesting kids ages 4 & 8 very entertained !
Great place to visit with family . Loads thinks to do and very entertaining outdoor playground . Better book tickets in advance to pay less.

Really loved "the past" and "the future" floors, very interesting and well described. I have to say I also enjoyed the floor dedicated to children, funny and informative! :)
Quite expensive - but pay online in advance for 10% discount . Plenty to see. The Science Garden is great hands-on fun!
Lots to see, something for everyone. Planetarium show quite short , but good for £1.50.
Lots for the kids to do and explore. Come by train and get 2 for 1 entry.
Buy your tickets online for discount and then avoid the queue by swiping your card at the entrance & getting your tickets.
If your into big screen ? Try this Giant Screen at Millenium Point. But I can say, I Max is better..
Absolutely superb family day out! I would thoroughly recommend it.
Museum seems good, and my young daughters are having a great time. Cafe is terrible.
Download the voucher and print out, one per person, before you come, for a discount .
Has the world's oldest working steam engine - the Smethwick Engine
The designers claimed to have redefined the concept of a science museum , but it's filled with scientific stuff and old stuff just like you'd find in any science museum but in a different order, so...
Park in the new Millennium car park
Birmingham's science museum .
For kids only. Expensive, try to get vouchers printed online for a discount .
Bel museo da visitare a tutte le età ma solo se siete rimasti curiosi come bambini ! Ottima idea di mostrare le macchine in funzione !!! Lovely.
Good value, lots to see and something for everyone. Planetarium shows quite short, but not too bad for £1.50. Hopefully better after their upgrade! - Sam Osborne
If the weather's a bit dodgy, stick a coat on and take advantage of the lack of people! You can get round all the installations really quickly with no queueing! - Jim ♕ @4sqGlos ᶳᵘ6
