The Thinkery

The Thinkery is a children's museum in Austin's Mueller neighborhood that provides extensive hands-on learning spaces. The facility contains multiple exhibition areas where visitors can explore concepts in science, engineering, and creative arts.

The museum was created as part of Austin's effort to build educational facilities within sustainably designed urban areas. The location was chosen to serve families in the expanding Mueller neighborhood and connect learning with community development.

The place serves as a learning hub where children and families engage with science and art through direct participation rather than passive observation. Exhibits encourage visitors to touch, move, and test ideas themselves.

The museum is located in a modern neighborhood with good accessibility and parking available on-site. Arriving early in the day helps avoid crowds, especially on weekends and holidays.

The Currents area contains multiple water stations where children conduct experiments and observe water flow dynamics in action. This hands-on section remains one of the most engaging areas for younger visitors due to its immediate and visible results.
