Museo interactivo para niños de hasta 11años, con aprendizaje a través de juegos, guardería y cafetería.
It was a really good day out with my niece. She really enjoyed herself even though most of the museum is better suited for kids younger than 10 years old. Staff were friendly and accommodating. I remember going when I was in primary school, and I'm so glad I was able to take my niece somewhere her mum and aunties had gone as children. Definitely recommend it as a day out.

(Traducido por Google) ¡Un día absolutamente brillante!Muchas cosas que hacer y grandes oportunidades de aprendizaje también.No estoy seguro de quién se divirtió más, si nuestro hijo o nosotros 😅El único inconveniente fue que el estacionamiento no era gratuito, después de pagar £ 42 por una familia de 3, me decepcionó descubrir que el estacionamiento costaba casi £ 7 adicionales por hasta 6 horas. ¡Creo que al menos debería haber un descuento en el estacionamiento para los clientes que pagan!(Original)Absolutely brilliant day out!Plenty of things to do and great learning opportunities too.Not sure who had more fun, our son or us 😅The only downside was the parking wasn't free, after paying £42 for a family of 3 I was disappointed to find parking was an additional almost £7 for up to 6 hours. I think there should at the very least be a discount for parking for paying customers!

Great place for the kids! Not somewhere to spend all day , I am aware we came during summer holidays so was maybe extra busy but it was very hard to have a go on everything despite a few trips around the whole place. Despite missing quite a few things, we stayed around 2 hours but too be honest it was far too busy for us! The exhibitions were great for children though and even adults will learn something I’m sure, I just didn’t like queuing for each one absolutely boiling jammed packed with people just for my little boy to put clothes in a pretend washing machine 🥵! I would definitely recommend a trip here but maybe not during the peak seasons. We didn’t visit the cafe as again it was packed! Really glad to say we’ve visited finally but I wouldn’t rush back unfortunately!

(Traducido por Google) No había estado aquí en 30 años y temía que, como muchos museos que estaban de moda en los años 90, este pudiera haber perdido su brillo para los niños de esta generación. Estaba equivocado, muy equivocado. Fue un día agradable, las instalaciones estaban limpias y mantenidas, el personal fue educado y los niños se divirtieron, interactuaron con las exhibiciones y, en general, se divirtieron. El hecho de que los boletos que compré actúen como pases anuales es aún mejor. ¡Gracias por traerme de vuelta mi infancia y seguir cautivando la imaginación de los pequeños después de 3 décadas!(Original)I hadn’t been here in 30 years and was apprehensive that like a lot museums that were hot in the 90s, this one may have lost its shine for kids of this generation. I was wrong, very wrong. It was an enjoyable day, the facilities were clean and maintained, the staff were polite and kids were enjoying themselves, interacting with the displays and generally having fun. The fact that the tickets I’ve bought act as annual passes is even better. Thank you for bringing back my childhood and still captivating little one’s imaginations 3 decades in!

we have no car and therefore we search some place for our kid which is just next to public transport. It's perfect that it is just next to Halifax railway station.To be honest, it is not large and is not a place for the whole day, but it does give my 6 yrs kid a nice experience. It is really good that the admission ticket is an annual pass and valid for a year, so we can visit again anytime in the upcoming year once she wants to. (Just remember it's by appointment only)Just as the comments from others, the burger is unexpectedly good and fairly priced

(Traducido por Google) Eureka es fácilmente el mejor día para niños menores de 8 años. Nos encanta la pared de juegos interactivos, las áreas de juegos de rol y la forma en que siempre hay manualidades gratis. Hay una sección para bebés para que incluso los miembros más pequeños de tu equipo puedan divertirse. Hemos vuelto todos los años y los niños todavía están muy emocionados.El servicio de cafetería fue un poco lento, pero la selección de comida es buena para el público objetivo.(Original)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.

(Traducido por Google) Estaba un poco escéptico cuando leí algunas críticas acerca de que algunos de los elementos del museo no funcionaban. Me alegro mucho de haberlo visitado, ya que el museo es muy animado y estimula la curiosidad de los niños, así como su imaginación. Hay diferentes aspectos, partiendo de los sentidos humanos, hasta la integración en la sociedad, la ciencia, la anatomía, el mantenimiento de una alimentación saludable, etc.El aparcamiento cuesta £3,60 por 3 horas.(Original)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.

We visited Eureka on a day where it was open to SEND children only. We had a fantastic day. It was calm and relaxed and the staff were super helpful. I think Eureka deserves full recognition for being fully inclusive and not just giving SEND children a slot in the day, which is super early or super late like other establishments. I would highly recommend Eureka, and I'm so glad I now have an annual pass so we can go whenever we want for a whole year. This is included in the ticket price. It's a no-brainer, really!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I took my 2 and 3 year old granddaughters, they absolutely loved it. There is so much to see and do. We were there for 4 hours but couldn't easily have spent longer, will definitely go earlier next time. It is quite expensive unless you are going to take advantage of the annual pass, which we definitely will.

Fabulous interactive museum for children to learn more about bodies, sound, light and enjoy lots of role play activities. We also thought the 3 man show in the theatre was terrific. Funny, witty, informative and musically tailored to a family audience. Every member of staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The shop had reasonable prices and the whole place was perfect for a stimulating 3-4 hour visit with two 7 year olds. Parking cost £4 on top of the entrance fee but good value for a special treat.

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.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit at the museum. My 5year-old science loving child was so excited! It's wonderful when educational experiences are both fun and engaging. Will be returning for sure.

Great day out. Lovely, helpful staff both at the museum and on the phone. Would highly recommend a visit. Don't forget to swing by the information desk to pick up a card for the cash machine at the Halifax bank! This was by far my sons fave thing to do in there. Can't wait to visit again soon!
