With my wife giving birth in August we decided not to have a holiday abroad before the birth, but instead would do different things with our daughter (2 and half years old) every day for a week. After visiting Chester zoo and Play Factore, we decided on Eureka for our third outing. Although it was a pain to get from... More

Start off by saying be prepared to pay for parking, £3 for 3hours and £6 up to 12 hours. We got there for 11.45 and only put on 3 hours but it shuts at 4pm so was a good job really. It was a fantastic place but lunch a bit pricey too, the cafe does not sell sandwiches or jackets... More

I have waited years to be able to go to Eureka, being over the age that would be considered a child when Eureka first opened I have never had the chance to go. Until my son was old enough to enjoy it. Now we're never away. Its really great to be able to let him at only 22months old run... More

Stopped here to break up a long journey and ended up staying a lot longer than we thought. Quite expensive and would have been happier if i had managed to find a discount but still a good day. Loads to do for yougn ones in play areas and unusual to find so much for under fives, if you live in... More

My second time to visit with my girls aged 20 months and 4, they had an amazing time, it's interesting for the adults also, you could spend the day wandering round, as soon as we left my daughter was asking when we are returning! I think it's excellent value for money with there annual pass. Also like the fact you... More

We had a day here with our 18 month old daughter and she loved it. Food in the cafe was nice and the staff were friendly. All the displays and areas were interesting, interactive, clean and full of fascinating lights and colours. Just a great day out. We'll be going again with our annual passes (but maybe not when it's... More

The people who go to a children's museum and complain about equipment missing, poorly stocked supermarkets or slightly dirty cushions are the sort of people that need to stay away. I've visited this museum several times as a child and now as an adult accompanying children of a young age. The biggest challenge the staff face at Eureka(!) is the... More
