June launch for Thinktank Science Garden
Thinktank has announced that a new outdoor interactive exploration space - the Thinktank Science Garden - will open to visitors at the Birmingham, UK science attraction on 2 June.
It is the first scheme of its kind in the UK and one of only a few in the world, with the new Science Garden to comprise 42 zones and exhibits – such as a human-sized hamster wheel.
An 8m (26ft)-tall clanging Terminus machine and an 'elasticated squirter' - a water piston that uses elastic potential energy - will also be among the experiences in the new space.
Thinktank Science Garden will open seven days a week and entry is included in the cost of a ticket to the attraction, which already boasts more than 200 hands-on exhibits.
Janine Eason, director of learning and operations, said: "After three years in the making we are looking forward to welcoming visitors of all ages to our Science Garden.
"As a major addition to the museum, it will present a new and exciting way of experiencing first hand how science and engineering have shaped Birmingham and the world."
