Think Tank Vouchers February 2026

More Ways to Save Money at Thinktank Trust

Smart science lovers know the secret to getting the most from Thinktank Birmingham isn't just about the amazing exhibits – it's about understanding how their membership programme and seasonal offers can slash your costs. Whether you're planning regular family visits or looking for student-friendly options, there are clever ways to make every pound stretch further while exploring everything from space artifacts to interactive science gardens.

How to Apply Your Thinktank Discount Code

While Thinktank Birmingham primarily focuses on membership benefits rather than traditional discount codes, here's how to secure the best value when booking online:

1. Visit the official Birmingham Museums website and navigate to the Thinktank booking section
2. Select your ticket type – check if you qualify for concession rates or student pricing
3. Look for current promotions such as the Science Garden voucher offer during winter maintenance
4. Consider membership instead – annual passes often provide better value than single tickets
5. Complete your booking and watch for exclusive member event invitations via email

Unlike some attractions that rely heavily on discount codes, Thinktank's best savings come through their comprehensive membership programme and seasonal promotions.

Save £25+ Annually with Birmingham Museums Trust Membership

The Birmingham Museums Trust membership isn't just about Thinktank – it's your passport to nine incredible venues across the West Midlands. For families visiting more than twice yearly, the maths is compelling.

Adult Membership at £35 Pays for Itself Quickly

Adult members get 12 months of unlimited free entry to Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum plus eight other Birmingham Museums Trust sites. The real value kicks in with additional perks:

• 10% off all café purchases – perfect for post-planetarium snacks
• 10% off shop items – including science-themed gifts and educational materials
• 10% off birthday parties – making celebrations more affordable
• Exclusive member events and previews – early access to special exhibitions
• Regular e-news updates – first to know about new exhibits and offers

Concession Membership: £30 for Eligible Visitors

Concession membership at £30 annually provides the same comprehensive benefits as adult membership for those who qualify. This includes unlimited free entry to all Birmingham Museums Trust sites, plus all the valuable 10% discounts on café purchases, shop items, and birthday parties.

Joint Adult Membership: £65 for Two Adults

Two adults can share membership benefits for £65 per year with Joint Adult membership. This option provides both adults with unlimited access to all Birmingham Museums Trust venues, exclusive member events, and those money-saving 10% discounts across cafés and shops.

Student Membership: Just £10 for a Full Year

Students get the deal of the century with annual membership for just £10. You'll need to purchase in-person at Thinktank with valid student ID, but that tiny investment unlocks the same benefits as adult membership. It's literally cheaper than two fancy coffees for a year of science exploration.

Family Membership Covers Everyone for £95

Families with two adults and up to three children can access all Birmingham Museums Trust sites for £95 annually. When you consider that single-day family visits can cost £30-40, this membership typically pays for itself after just three visits. Plus, everyone gets those valuable 10% discounts on food, shopping, and parties.

Free UK Delivery on Shop Orders Over £40

Thinktank's online shop features science-themed books, educational toys, and unique gifts. Spend £40 or more and delivery to anywhere in the UK is completely free. Local pick-up is also available if you prefer to collect your items during your next museum visit.

Current clearance items offer excellent value – like "The Holy Grail Tapestries Book" reduced from £5.00 to just £2.00. These deals help you reach that free delivery threshold while snagging genuine bargains.

Community Groups Get Free Access All Year

The Community Welcome Pass scheme opens doors for eligible community groups, CICs, and small charities based in Birmingham, Sandwell, or Smethwick. This isn't just a discount – it's completely free access for qualifying organisations.

Who Qualifies for the Community Welcome Pass

Groups must be working to support marginalised, vulnerable, or excluded people in the city. Local branches of national charities can apply if they have an office in the target areas. The scheme specifically supports:

• Registered charities providing non-statutory activities
• Community Interest Companies (CICs) serving local communities
• Community groups supporting disadvantaged populations

Enjoy Free Visits and 10% Off for Your Group

Pass holders receive remarkable value with the following benefits:

• Free pre-booked visits for one year to multiple venues including Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum, and temporary exhibitions at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery
• Up to three pass holders per organisation to coordinate group visits
• 10% off in shops and cafés for all group members during visits
• Annual networking event for participating organisations and group leaders

Morning Explorers: Reduced Admission for Sensory-Friendly Visits

Thinktank's Morning Explorers events cater specifically to individuals on the autistic spectrum, those with sensory processing disorders, or anyone preferring quieter museum experiences. These special sessions offer reduced admission charges and allow visitors to explore before public opening times.

The quieter environment makes science accessible to everyone, proving that Thinktank's commitment to inclusion extends beyond just physical access. Check the "What's on" section for upcoming Morning Explorers dates across all Birmingham Museums Trust sites.

Gift Memberships: The Present That Keeps Giving

Annual memberships make thoughtful gifts for science-loving friends and family. Gift memberships provide recipients with a full year of visits to Thinktank and general entry to other Birmingham Museums Trust sites. It's like giving someone 12 months of weekend adventure options.

Unlike physical gifts that might gather dust, membership gifts create lasting memories and learning opportunities. Recipients also get all the standard member benefits, including those valuable 10% discounts and exclusive event invitations.

Current Winter Promotion: Free Science Garden Vouchers

While the outdoor Science Garden undergoes winter maintenance until mid-February, Thinktank turns this temporary closure into visitor value. All current visitors receive a Science Garden voucher for free return entry once the outdoor exhibits reopen.

This means you're essentially getting two visits for the price of one – perfect timing to explore the indoor exhibits now and return for the full outdoor science experience later. It's Thinktank's way of ensuring winter visitors don't miss out on any part of the complete science museum experience.

Venue Hire Discounts for Local Charities

Birmingham-based community organisations and charities operating on low incomes can hire Thinktank's unique spaces at reduced rates for their activities. This community-focused pricing makes the museum's facilities accessible for local groups while providing unforgettable venues for events and meetings.

The reduced rates aren't available to commercial organisations, reflecting Thinktank's commitment to supporting genuine community initiatives rather than subsidising business events.
