At Eureka! we know that learning doesn’t only happen in classrooms which is why we’re the perfect venue to support home educator families with interactive, hands-on experiences that spark curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of learning.
Why choose Eureka! to support your home education journey?
- Tailored Learning Opportunities
Our exhibits and activities align with a wide range of subjects (not just science!) offering opportunities for multi-disciplinary, experiential learning.
- Interactive Exhibits
Every corner of Eureka! is designed to engage children in active discovery. Whether exploring the science of sound, finding out how our bodies work or diving into imaginative play, our spaces encourage children to think critically, problem-solve and collaborate.
- We understand SEND
We’re very proud to be an accessible venue and to provide facilities and services for our disabled visitors to assist and support you during your visit. Click on our Access Information to find out more 🌻
What’s on offer?
- Special Home Educator Days
Available at least once per term, these special events provide a great opportunity to visit the museum at a quieter time – we don’t take any school bookings on these days. Enjoy access to workshops, demonstrations and themed activities JUST for Home Educator families! PLUS connect with like-minded families and educators in a welcoming environment.

We offer discounted admission for groups of 10 or more paying children so if you can group together with other home educating families you could save ££ on general admission. Find out more on our Groups page.
