What’s relaxed about it?
- Low visitor numbers:
We’ve heavily restricted ticket availability on this day so our galleries will be much less busy than usual. - Flexible timings:
We want this day 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 is 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 🙂
Do I have to pre-book?
Yes please! All visitors must pre-book, even if you are an existing annual pass holder. There will be a very limited number of tickets available on this day and you won’t be able to pay on the day.
To join us on our upcoming Relaxed SENDay (listed below), just book as usual via our Online Bookings System:
– Sunday 15th December
Remember: Essential carers visit for free, and Max Card holders can bring 1 adult and 1 child free per card.
You receive 12 months of unlimited free visits with standard admission (excluding visits booked using Tesco Reward points), and our Relaxed SENDay event is free for existing annual pass holders.
We schedule our SENDays as regularly as possible, across our two venues.
They will usually take place at one or other of our sites every few months, and on different days of the week where possible to broaden opportunities to attend to more families.
Eureka! is committed to running these quieter sessions for a full day, rather than just quiet or “twilight” hours, and with reduced ticket numbers and additional activities, as often as programming, staffing and seasonal events allow.
