Eureka! The National Children's Museum

"This is designed for kids so no surprise that my 3 year old enjoyed every minute of spending here and it was nearly 4 hours long! Great experience, absolutely recommend it. There's a cafe with lots of food choices and also a toy shop. The best part is after buying your tickets you get a yearly pass that allows you to visit for free."

"What an absolutely fantastic place this is. I remember going when I was young but this was the first time I have taken my kids here and they loved it. There is so much to do, we went with my 8 year old daughter who has autism and ADD, my 2 year old son and my 10 month old niece and all 3 kids enjoyed themselves and there was something to do. The only downside was that the weather wasn't great so we had to avoid the put door play bits but they looked great. We went on a Sunday and got there at 10 for when it opened and for the first hour it was relatively quiet, which was great for my kids. They had lots of interactive areas and great play areas. We booked our time slot and paid online, like you need to for most places these days, the prices were reasonable and then we found out that our tickets mean we can go back as much as we want for a whole year, we will definitely be making the most of them! We brought a packed lunch with us, my kids love a "picnic" so I can't really be sure about how expensive the cafe is. We did pop in for a drink each and if they are an indicator I would say it is a little on the pricey side. If you have a spare hour in the morning I'd recommend doing a picnic. I drove there as we are only 30 minutes away but if you don't have a car, Halifax train station is literally on the door step, that is not an over exaggeration, you can see the plat form from the reception. So it is excellent for transport links too. I would recommend anyone to go for a great family day out."

"Amazing place. Educational and fun! Most things are probably best for kids up to 12 but older kids will enjoy it too. They have a gift shop and cafe on site, the food is reasonably priced. Sand pit outside so I'd recommend taking a little bucket and spade and a towel to get little feet clean. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area."

"Incredible day out. We took out 15 month old so that he could have a fun place to have a walk around and explore without us having to say no to touching things. Better than we could have imagined my 15 month old explored, played and had such a fun day out. He was able to get involved with lots of the exhibits. The perfect place to take a toddler and plenty to do for older kids too. Highly recommended!"
