What Will You Discover?
From the ‘what’s’ of the world around us to the ‘why’s’ of the human body, Eureka! Science +
Discovery challenges visitors to look at the ordinary every-day and see the extraordinary!
Eureka! Science + Discovery is a brand-new attraction,
housed in the Seacombe Ferry Terminal building, that has
been created with and for children and young people aged
0-14. If you’re familiar with our sister site in Halifax you’ll
recognise our unique blend of creative, hands on learning
combined with cutting edge 21st century technology that
has resulted in an engaging and fun-filled family day out
and discovery experience!
Throughout the year, we’ll also be rolling out activities
and events during all the school holidays. So, there’ll
always be something fresh and exciting! MakeCreate, our
making and tinkering space, will be programmed with
supervised workshops that encourage creativity and allow
participants to get hands-on! Permission to get messy?
Granted! Talks and presentations will also be hosted in
our Science Theatre on scheduled dates throughout the
year.
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics
(STEAM) - how do they influence and shape our lives?
Over on the other side of the ferry terminal, we have the
Discovery Café – a spot to refuel and energise when
curious minds need a break! We have a varied selection
of food, drink and snacks on offer and a comfortable space
for grown-ups to grab a brew. Gluten free, vegan and
vegetarian options are available.
Explore the ginormous digestive system in Bodies,
investigate the Amazing Inventions shed in Nature and
marvel at our supersize cat ‘Luna’ in Homes; there’s plenty
to keep the whole family busy for hours! If you don’t
manage to see everything in just one day - fear not! A
standard entry ticket is automatically an Annual Pass,
meaning that you can book a revisit for free, any number
of times for a full year (so all those rainy days are sorted!)
Coming soon is The Burrow, designed to inspire the
under-7’s featuring objects, activities and play areas
themed around local nature and our environment (there’s
