Tom Peter's had it in his rejuvenation 50 - volunteer to go on a school trip with your kids. So when Ruth's class went off to Millennium Point during Science Week it seemed like the time had come. The day was fun, if loud, and the changes to ThinkTank generally good. Certainly the new space science section is fun - pilot a shuttle or programme a mars rover, and they's updated the future gallery a bit (still got to get Halo in there!).
The hioghlight for everybody though was the new planetarium. All dirven by PCs and PC projectors, not a Zeiss projector in sight, but really well put together, good blend of traditioanl star gazing, space images and video, and a presenter who knew his stuff. Certainly be taking the kids back for another trip to see the other shows.
