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: ... 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 ... 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 ... Read the complete review

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 ... Read the complete review

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 ... Read the complete review

What an amazing day out! I travelled from Leeds to Halifax to visit this magical place. It took me 40 mins and was clearly signposted. There was ample parking in the form of pay and display. For 5 hours it cost us £2.50 which wasn't too bad - though would have been better had it been free! It's also situated just opposite Halifax ... Read the complete review

So it's Sunday morning, delawney and mr delawney are on holiday near Halifax (OK, not exactly hot and sunny, but a holiday, OK?) and are wondering what to do with themselves for the afternoon. On a whim, they decide to visit Eureka! the museum for children, since after all, they are just big kids themselves. So, off they ... Read the complete review

Eureka! was the first and I think still is the only museum in Britain, which was designed especially for children, aged between 3 and 12 years old (please correct me if I am wrong). It is a museum where there is no do not touch signs, nothing fragile and children are not patronised, it is a real hands on experience. It can be found in ... Read the complete review

Didn't know where to put this, but its a children's day out so it can go here! I took my little boy to Eureka! in Halifax for his 3rd birthday on 31/07. Eureka! is a children's museum, the exhibits are all things that children come across in their daily lives, how the toilet works, the body, music, cars and engines etc, ... Read the complete review
