Eureka! is a celebration of childhood - a place designed especially for children and their families. It is a place to play, discover and learn together - about the world, themselves and about others. Designed for and by children, it is alive with interactive spaces and captivating experiences, each with a story to tell, a secret to be discovered, a small triumph to be achieved.

Eureka! reaches beyond each child to engage the whole family. Our play-based learning approach encourages discussion and questioning between adults and children, and shared discovery. Our galleries and outreach programmes provide aspirational opportunities for ALL children, engaging them in subjects ranging from science, the environment, health and well-being to role-play, drama and story-telling, linking with the national curriculum to enrich the learning experience.

The informal learning experiences offered by Eureka! have a powerful impact on children's social, physical, emotional and intellectual development. They build creativity, concentration, co-ordination and curiosity, inspiring a lifelong love of learning. Our galleries offer interactive settings where children and adults can come together in creative play and the delight of discovery, stimulating children's curiosity and encouraging them to explore and think for themselves.
