Eureka is easily the best day out for children under 8. We love the interactive game wall, the role playing areas and the way there's always free craft. There's a baby section so even the smallest members of your team can have fun. We've been back every year and the children are still so excited. The café service was a bit slow but the food selection is good for the target audience.
Absolutely fantastic! I would gladly recommend. Honestly the adults enjoy this more than the kids the food in the cafe needs some improvement though. If you get the food spot on, you’ve got it all. Make sure you book the tickets online.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
I was a bit skeptical as I read some reviews about some of the items throughout the museum not being functional. I’m very glad we got to visit, as the museum is very lively, stimulates the inquisitive nature of the children, as well as their imagination. There are different aspects, departing from human senses, to integration into society, science, anatomy, maintaining a healthy diet, etc. Parking costs £3.60 for 3 hours.
It's our second visit as a family - we have a three and five year old. They love it. We typically come for around 2-3 hours but that's not for lack of things to do but more pacing our family life. You could easily spend a whole day here no problem. Although it is initially expensive - it is a year pass and one you will easily reuse if you live within an hour radius.
Really good day out! The workshops were fab, my son is year 6 so just on the cusp of things feeling a little young for him but he still really enjoyed himself. Lots of interactive buttons to mash and things to do, loads more information than you could ever thoroughly absorb but definitely worth a trip if you’re thinking of going.
Our 7 year old absolutely loved this, which meant we did too. So many interactive activities kept him busy and interested the whole day. The cafe is styled for young families so don't expect too much comfort, but it is kept scrupulously clean. The food was tasty and good value. The staff team are really friendly and helpful. I would recommend a visit.
Used to bring our kids, now it's the grandkids turn. What a great day out, our 2 year old loved it. Too much to do in one day. Once you have paid it's free for a year, so we will be back. Cafes on site, we took pack lunch.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
We have been here for multiple visits, and my children love to go. I would say it would be entertaining for children up to age 10. Since our last visit a few years ago, it was good to see some areas of the museum updated, particularly the area with cars on the lower floor. The changing exhibition spaces also ensure there's often something new to see. The museum can get very busy. This time we went at the end of the Christmas holidays, and it was probably the busiest I've ever seen it. Mid afternoon, the upstairs space to do with the human body was too loud and busy to enjoy properly. During term-time is a good time to visit with little ones not yet at school, but be aware that there's very often school visits to navigate around then. I'd definitely recommend arriving for opening time to make the most of the area downstairs whilst it's quiet. There is an onsite cafe with a good selection of meals at a reasonable price. On busy days, it's worth going in before 12 if you want a table to eat at. Tickets must be bought online in advance and are valid for a year's entry.
Lovely museum for young children wi5h a nice efficient restaurant. Staff friendly and helpful, frozen fish for the fish and chips, but tasty Pay and display parking cards accepted There was no exhibit of the Titanic, so I added two photos
Fun place. Lots of things to explore. Lots to learn for the kids. Some great models and lots they can touch or play on or with. Some of the features were a bit confusing or possibly weren’t working properly where you’ve got the dark rooms with lights that you’re meant to be able to interact with. The show was great fun the people performing in it were funny and managed to keep it going despite some unrest from some of the children. Parking was busy so used the overflow where there was plenty of space. It’s £3.60 for 4 hours. Which you can easily do that amount of time there. Also the train station is right outside so train travel would be a good option if that’s your preference. It’s a yearly pass so will definitely be back.
