Wonder Walk
Awaken your senses on the Wonder Walk sensory trail, outside in the Eureka! Park.
The Wonder Walk is Eureka!'s newest outdoor exhibition, a trail to delight your senses and give you the chance to get close to the natural world.
Explore your environment
- Find the giant totem pole that oversees the Wonder Walk and see the story of Eureka! in its pictures.
- Play, hide or create your own world in willow huts.
- Climb over logs and stones as you travel around the Wonder Walk.
- Explore an inflatable greenhouse.
Get close to nature
- Experience squishy, splashy and scratchy sensations on your bare hands or feet as you wade through trays of mud, sand and water embedded in the path.
Use your senses
- Hear the tinkling of wind chimes and follow the noises to find where they are hanging.
- Smell sweet or aromatic herbs and flowers planted all around the Walk.
- See the bright colours of flowers and pinwheels.
- Touch everything!
The Wonder Walk is designed to be suitable for all ages and abilities, and includes a wheelchair accessible trail. Plants and decorations have been planted at a child's eye level to encourage children's interactions with the trail. The Wonder Walk is open rain or shine to visitors during museum opening hours.
