What visitors say
Absolutely fantastic day out... great indoor & outdoor venue... our 4 year old loved it. Only downside was the sound area was a tad too loud our daughter has adhd would be fantastic if a sen area was created that'd be icing on cake!

Eureka has been my favourite since I was a little kid! Now I'm 34 and taking my own kids to enjoy the same magical, fun, learning experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The facilities were excellent and the Circus Skills workshops were incredibly fun and informative. Thank you for continuing the amazing experience!!

We’ve been here twice now. Full of interesting educational fun. With giant teeth and toothbrushes what’s not to like. Although I was knackered at the end of the day chasing the little ones around it was definitely worth it. You can always get discount codes if money is tight or your on a budget. Theres also a sand pit outside and an eating area if you want to have a picnic.

Great little day out. Lots of activities on for half term. Circus themed this time. All exhibits are hands on and interactive. Bring your own picnic, a can of pop was £2.50! Carpark is right next to the museum so you can go back and forth for your stuff. Outdoor area is great for a picnic.
