There's plenty to enjoy across the Birmingham Museums sites, including Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum, Aston Hall, Blakesley Hall and Sarehole Mill, this festive season.

THINKTANK, BIRMINGHAM SCIENCE MUSEUM

Santa's Science Spectacular Show
Weekends in December and selected days during the Christmas Holidays | Included in entry price

A brand-new family show in the Thinktank theatre. Santa has a very difficult job, not only does he
have to deliver presents to all the children in the world in one night, but he also must keep his elves
in line, look after his reindeer and so much more.

This year he’s asked the experts at Thinktank to help. From the science behind Rudolph's glowing
nose to rocket powered sleighs, this show is sure to get everyone in the festive spirit.

Elf Trail
Wednesday 29 November – Saturday 23 December | Included in entry price

Can you find the elves that have escaped Santa’s workshop? Spot the cheeky elves around Thinktank. Remember to sneak up on them so they don’t go running off!
