We are very excited to be back at Thinktank on the Monday 2nd, Tuesday 3rd, Friday 6th, Saturday 7th, Monday 9th, Tuesday 10th, Friday 13th and Saturday 14th August 2021!

We will be looking at how families interact with exhibits on the museum floor. Please get in touch with Sonia at [email protected] if you have a 4- to 8- year old (with a parent/guardian) who would like to take part!

Please be advised that only one child from each family can take part. The participating child, and one accompanying parent/guardian, will qualify for free entry into the museum – tickets will need to be purchased from Thinktank directly for other people.

If you are interested in taking part in this fun experiment, please get in touch with Sonia.
