Good value because once you have paid you can get unlimited entry for the year. I have been loads since this even if only for a hour with my 2 yr old.

Definately not worth the admission prices! Hardly any of the interactive equipment worked, kids got bored of trying the equipment and being dissapointed then they just wanted to go back to the car.

The grandchildren love it! The little house was a particular favourite, but there is so much there that repeat visits are always enjoyed.

I pre booked a visit to Eureka online for myself, my husband and 2 year old twin boys for May 2012. Adult entry is £9.95 each and toddlers 1-2 years £3.45 each.

This place is amazing. You pay for your entrance and then get to visit as many times in the year as you like. Living locally this is something we appreciate as when the weather is bad there is always something to do at Eureka. The play staff are great - friendly, fun and the children love it. The cafe is...

Would recommend it to anyone who has children who love finding out about things. There is a garage and mechanic work shop, a bank to print your money and changing exhibitions. Very good and worth the money. During the summer they put on activities outside as well

Lots of things to see and do at Eureka, the children have been many times now. Unfortunately I think they're getting a bit old now. Definitely for under 10 years old. Good parking and next door to the train station.
