Eureka! The National Children's Museum

What a fantastic day! My 21 month old absolutely loved runny around and looking at all the different sections!My 3 month old also loves looking at all the lights.Cafe was fab with plenty of high chairs. I’d forgotten my flask and the lady behind the till was happy to sort me out with some hot water to heat baby’s milk.Once you’ve bought the tickets you can then go anytime once you validate your yearly pass.All in all a great day! Oh and right next to Halifax train station for easy transport!

Went for my little mans birthday he was 5 and he loved it so much. So much for them to do and keep busy. We went when there was some juggling and he gave us a warm welcome and his show was brill to.We all had so much fun..including the grown ups

My 2 year old loved it in her own little way m second visit and she interacted a lot more with the exhibits and role play areas than our first time. Can't wait to go again when she's a little older and starts properly learning from everything that is to offer here. She loves it.

we have no car and therefore we search some place for our kid which is just next to public transport. It's perfect that it is just next to Halifax railway station.To be honest, it is not large and is not a place for the whole day, but it does give my 6 yrs kid a nice experience. It is really good that the admission ticket is an annual pass and valid for a year, so we can visit again anytime in the upcoming year once she wants to. (Just remember it's by appointment only)Just as the comments from others, the burger is unexpectedly good and fairly priced

It was a really good day out with my niece. She really enjoyed herself even though most of the museum is better suited for kids younger than 10 years old. Staff were friendly and accommodating. I remember going when I was in primary school, and I'm so glad I was able to take my niece somewhere her mum and aunties had gone as children. Definitely recommend it as a day out.

Absolutely brilliant! Visited with my one year old on a rainy day and it was absolutely fantastic. There’s plenty for young and older kids to do, it’s even fun for an adult too! The staff here are so friendly and welcoming. There’s a great big area to eat packed lunches which is always great! Every single toilet is clean and has a baby change so it’s always SO easy.

We asked our daughter where her favourite place was and this was one of them!Everything is aimed at children and will suit children of a wide range of ages. Almost everything is interactive and play based. We first visited with our daughter when she was two and she's now four and there's always been plenty for her to do and during that time activities have been updated and replaced so things don't get too tired or dated. Even our four month old enjoyed some of the more visual activities, and it's fun for adults too.Firm favourites for our four-year-old are role playing in the M&S shop, the ball conveyer in the desert area and water play in the bathroom, it's also good fun being a post-person delivering post to different areas of the museum. Oh, and watching Archimedes take a dunk in the bath tub on the hour and half hour (which is something my husband remembers from visiting here as a child!)Tickets last for a year which is great since there's so much to do we've never been able to see the whole museum in one day. If you don't live locally I recommend booking an early slot. We have always visited on weekends and it does get very busy especially as the day goes on, if you or your child struggle with crowds and noise it is probably better to visit in the morning.The museum is right next to Halifax train station, and also has a large pay and display car park.There is a cafe on-site which is a bit on the pricier side, and large indoor and outdoor picnic areas if you'd rather bring your own food.This is a really great day out with kids and is somewhere we will continue to visit for years to come.

Brilliant day out for the whole family, both our 3 and 1yr old had a great time with lots to do for both of them. The staff were really welcoming, and the cake in the cafe was really good too!The real world play was a bit too busy being school holidays, but that's to be expected.We really loved the light rooms, and exploring the body parts.

Great museum to teach children about a wide range of scientific things. It is clearly designed with children in mind, right down to stools, areas to put babies, low sinks etc. Food is reasonably priced too. Gift shop was a tad disappointing but doesn't take away from how much my children enjoyed themselves here. Also with entry you get year long return for free which is a nice plus.
