Welcome to Eureka!

Where children play to learn, and grown-ups learn to play...

Play 20 websiteEureka! The National Children’s Museum is a magical place where children play to learn and grown-ups learn to play.

We are the leading children’s museum in the UK, giving children aged 0-11 a fun-packed day out. Everything at Eureka! has been designed to inspire children to find out about themselves and the world around them.

Exploring the different galleries, children can see their own skeleton, catch a wave, save a polar bear, build a house and even get a job at the Post Office - all in a day’s play! Outdoors they can twist, turn, climb or play 'hide and seek' at the outdoor PlayScape and Wonder Walk, then dig on the Eureka! inland beach. WEe have a fun-packed, regularly updated programme of events every holiday and half term.
