Eureka Museum (Halifax) Reviews
Newest Review: ... exterior has a glass front through which you can see some of the exhibits and activities, and there is a large multicoloured illuminated sign and some small wind turbines attached to the building. Inside the building you are greeted by a huge wash of colour, with everything obviously geared to appeal to younger minds. Everything in the museum has an interactive element, keeping children interested and encouraging them to learn through doing things. The main hall leads on to a Post Office, bank and supermarket, where the children can 'go shopping' and learn about healthy food and the processes that happen in a town by pretening to be a g... more

I went to the Eureka! museum in Halifax for the first time today with my two-and-a-half year old twins. We found out about the museum through their website, which has a colourful and'playful' appearance, yet is very factual and useful. The entrance prices do appear a little high at first (£8.95 for adults, £2.95 for 1 - 2 year olds: there are varying prices for children of different ages, but babies under one year get in for free) but the entrance fee can be converted into an annual pass that you apply for in the main hall of the museum - you'll need to bring this and some photo I.D. with you on future visits to get in free for the next year. The museum is ... Read the complete review

Eureka Museum is situated in Halifax quite close to the train station so it is easy to get to. It is a children's museum (but the grown ups will enjoy it too!). There are lots of things for children to do and learn about and it is suitable from about age 2. The first gallery you come to is a sound gallery and there is an interactive display with lots of things the children can touch to make sounds happen. One of the most popular areas is the role play gallery. This consists of several real life scenarios where the children can play to their heart's content. There is a garage, a bank and, the favourite, a mini supermarket complete with little shopping ... Read the complete review

Eureka, a fabulous day out for all the family! I have a long association with the Eureka ! Children's science museum, having visited as a child myself, worked there as an enabler as a teenager and now I take my own children there who are 6 and 9 years old. It is a favourite place to go when visiting my folks. The museum is situated in Halifax, just next to the railway station and a large outside carpark (although this is a pricey option!). Current costs are : adults-£7.50 3 years plus- £7.50 Toddlers-1-2 yrs-£2.50 0-11 months- free saver ticket (5 people)-£32.00 If you live in West Yorkshire it is worth considering using a ...

Conveniently situated right next to Halifax train station so that those of us without a car don't have to drag the kids miles across town, Eureka is a fabulous place to spend an afternoon. It's designed as a science museum but I've long since stopped pretending that my kids are learning anything there at all: it's a glorious collection of buttons to press & things to fit together & noise & levers & flashing lights, & that's fine by us. Inside, Eureka is divided into different areas. The town square is popular: it features a mini supermarket where the kids can work the tills & scan the 'food' that they put in their ...

I joined Eureka last year whilst pregnant with my 2nd child and it was an absolute life saver! Somewhere for my energetic toddler to run around a learn things at the same time, whilst I could watch and enjoy. She's two now and finds something new to experience every time we go. Her favourite activity is the toddler-height touch-screen computer in the 'sound garden' where she can paint a butterfly and then watch it 'fly' onto the projection screen... she could spend hours there. And through the summer the huge outdoor sandpit was definitely a hit. The best thing about Eureka is that they've obviously consulted with mums/dads and children at every level. There ...
