About

What Will You Discover?

From the ‘what’s’ of the world around us to the ‘why’s’ of the human body, Eureka! Science + Discovery challenges visitors to look at the ordinary every-day and see the extraordinary!

Eureka! Science + Discovery is a brand-new attraction, housed in the Seacombe Ferry Terminal building, that has been created with and for children and young people aged 0-14. If you’re familiar with our sister site in Halifax you’ll recognise our unique blend of creative, hands-on learning combined with cutting edge 21st century technology that has resulted in an engaging and fun-filled family day out and discovery experience!

Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) - how do they influence and shape our lives?

Explore the ginormous digestive system in Bodies, investigate the Amazing Inventions shed in Nature and marvel at our supersize cat ‘Luna’ in Homes; there’s plenty to keep the whole family busy for hours! If you don’t manage to see everything in just one day – fear not! A standard entry ticket is automatically an Annual Pass, meaning that you can book a revisit for free, any number of times for a full year (so all those rainy days are sorted!)

Throughout the year, we’ll also be rolling out activities and events during all the school holidays. So, there’ll always be something fresh and exciting! MakeCreate, our making and tinkering space, will be programmed with supervised workshops that encourage creativity and allow participants to get hands-on! Permission to get messy? Granted! Entertaining and educational shows will also be hosted in our Science Theatre on scheduled dates throughout the year.

The Burrow, designed to inspire the under-7’s features objects, activities and play areas themed around local nature and our environment (there’s even an adorable Wood Mouse nest with a slide!). Your Annual Pass will also cover your entry into The Burrow, as well as additional activities.
