The Thinkery, Children's museum in Mueller neighborhood, Austin, United States.

The Thinkery is a children's museum in Austin's Mueller neighborhood, built around hands-on exhibits covering science, engineering, and creative arts. The building holds several distinct areas, each designed for a different age group or theme.

The museum was founded in 1983 with no permanent home, running travelling exhibits in malls, parks and libraries. In 1987 a storefront on Fifth Street became its first fixed site; in 1997, a campaign including a million-dollar gift from Michael and Susan Dell moved it to Colorado and Second Street. Renamed Thinkery on 4 June 2013, it closed downtown that September and opened on 7 December 2013 in the 40,000-square-foot Meredith Learning Lab in Mueller.

The museum's name, announced on June 4, 2013, replaced Austin Children's Museum, the name it had used since 1983. Its stated mission covers Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math, so art sits alongside the science and engineering exhibits. A grant from Cognizant's Making the Future program led to the Spark Club program for local children.

The museum sits in the Mueller neighborhood, a walkable area with parking available directly on site. Going early in the day is a good idea, particularly on weekends and school holidays when families tend to arrive in larger numbers.

The museum's name change was announced on June 4, 2013, and the downtown site closed three months later, on September 7. The new building, the Meredith Learning Lab, is a 40,000-square-foot facility in the Mueller Community that opened on December 7, 2013.
