The state of play…

Eureka! The National Children’s Museum is a well-known and well-loved family and children’s visitor attraction in Halifax, Yorkshire. In 2022, we opened Eureka! Science + Discovery in Wirral, Merseyside, a high-profile addition to the exciting cultural landscape of the Liverpool City Region and a crucial element in the regeneration of the left bank of the river Mersey. 

At both Eureka! sites, we spark curiosity, encourage action, and facilitate fun (for colleagues as well as our visitors!). It’s a really exciting time to join Eureka! as we establish programmes at Eureka! Science + Discovery and refine and refresh the excellent offer at Eureka! The National Children’s Museum.

Hello – is it you we’re looking for? *insert appropriate Lionel Richie gif*
