Eureka! booking terms and conditions

A few T&Cs (i.e. the legal bit)

In buying Eureka! tickets you agree to adhere to our terms and conditions

  • Any children under the age of 17 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Booking, Payment & Cancellations

  • The Eureka! Museum and Grounds are private property. Entry to our grounds is free during opening hours, however all persons entering the Museum must pay for admission or hold a valid Eureka! Annual Pass.
  • Full payment by will be required at the time of booking. Payment can be made by credit/debit card.
  • All bookings are non-transferable and not for resale.
  • All visits must be booked in advance via our website and are valid on the date set out in the booking reservation. This includes all annual pass visits not incurring a charge.
    See Annual Pass information below regarding Pass terms and conditions.
  • Bookings will only be exchanged or refunded if Eureka!, in its absolute discretion, chooses to do so. For the avoidance of any doubt, the total cost of a booking is non-refundable in the event that admission is refused or relinquished for any reason referred to in these terms and conditions.
  • If booking a visit on behalf of other guests, the person booking the visit accepts these terms and conditions on behalf of every guest and shall ensure that those guests comply with these terms and conditions.
  • You should contact Eureka! immediately on 01422 330069 or by email to info@eureka.org.uk should you wish to amend or cancel your booking. We will consider any reasons for cancellation sympathetically and will try to assist you. If requested by you, we will attempt to offer you a visit on an alternative date, however your annual pass can still be activated and used for 12 months following your initial booking date so there is no need to contact us to change your visit date.

Our Annual Pass

  • To convert a day ticket into an annual pass you must give the names of everyone on the initial visit and include an address.
  • Annual Passes are non-transferable – they can only be used by the people who came on the initial visit and who are named on the pass.
  • In order to use your annual pass for a revisit, you MUST activate your pass by entering the names and dates of birth for everyone on the pass. You can also upload a photograph for the purposes of ID for future visits. We will not use your photo or information for any purpose other than to verify your identity on future visits.
  • Photo ID will be required on all future visits, unless you upload a photo ID onto our annual pass system.
  • Please note that the Annual Pass is not valid for school trips, birthday parties or group visits.
  • Please note that people using Tesco Days Out Vouchers are not eligible for the free annual pass upgrade.
  • If you book your visit and are then unable to visit on the date booked, your annual pass can still be activated and used for 12 months following your initial booking date so there is no need to contact us to change your visit date.

About our online annual pass system

  • You can activate and complete your annual pass online or, if you encounter problems, call us on 01422 330069.
  • If you choose to upload a photo, please note that you can only upload a photo once. This is to prevent fraudulent use of the pass as the photo uploaded is used in lieu of photo ID on future visits.
  • Once you have activated and completed your pass, there is no need to print anything out. On arrival you will be asked for your your postcode and we’ll look you up on the system. You must still book all subsequent visits online prior to attending Eureka!
