What’s relaxed about it?

  • Low visitor numbers:
    We’ve heavily restricted ticket availability on these days, so our galleries will be much less busy than usual.
  • Flexible timings:
    We want these days to work around you! Which is why – although we do ask you to select an arrival time – we are flexible if you happen to get here a little earlier or later than your slot.
  • Chill Out Room:
    Need some time out away from the main museum? Just ask any of our Enablers (the people in light blue shirts with “Team Eureka!” written on the back) for access to our Chill Out Room.
  • Ear defenders:
    You can borrow a pair of ear defenders for free from our Information Desk (by the admissions tills) – subject to availability, obvs.
  • Trained, supportive staff:

    Our whole team are trained in disability awareness, and we really want you all to have a great day out. Just ask us if there’s anything we can do to support you 🙂
