Eureka! Science + Discovery

What's inside

Exhibits are grouped into themed zones. Bodies explains how we work, including a giant digestive system; Amazing Inventions lets children test out machines; Homes includes a supersize cat called Luna; and MakeCreate runs supervised making and tinkering workshops. The Science Theatre puts on shows, and The Burrow is a nature-themed play area for under-7s. Exhibits are designed to be touched and played with, so expect noise and plenty of movement, and allow a good half day.

Tickets and planning

A standard ticket works as an annual pass, so a return visit within the year is free, which suits local families and repeat trips. Book online or by phone. It is closed on some weekdays outside school holidays, so check opening days before travelling. There is a café, a picnic area and charged on-site parking.

Getting there and access

The centre is in Seacombe on the Wirral side of the river, served by buses towards Liverpool, Birkenhead and New Brighton. Access is good: step-free routes, lifts, a Changing Places toilet, a quiet space and quiet times for children with sensory needs. Afterwards, the Liverpool waterfront and the Royal Liver Building tour are just across the water.
