We had the BEST time visiting MiniBrum Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum 🥹🤍
Honestly, such a hidden gem for toddlers and such a lovely day out!
MiniBrum is essentially a whole little city created for children, with loads of different role-play areas to explore, from the café, shop & Post Office to the doctors, dentist, vets, salon, construction zone and car workshop. 🛒🩺☕️🔧
There’s so much for little ones to explore independently, and I love that MiniBrum was actually developed in collaboration with children, families and local schools. It feels really different to your usual soft play or role-play centre.
✨ And it’s not just MiniBrum!
Your ticket gives you access to the rest of Thinktank too, with four floors to explore and the Science Garden. There’s also a lovely café onsite, so you can easily make a proper day of it.
💡 MAMA TIP: If you think you’ll go more than once, look at the annual membership! It’s currently £35 for an adult for the whole year, and under 3s go FREE , so it can work out much cheaper than buying individual tickets each time.
📍 Thinktank, Birmingham City Centre
🚗 Around 20 minutes from Sutton Coldfield
👶🏽 MiniBrum is designed for under 8s, with areas specifically for younger children
Super unique, genuinely lovely and definitely somewhere we’ll be visiting again. 🤍
Save this one for your next toddler day out! ✨
