We’re excited to let you know that our next Eureka! Home Educator Day is less than one month away and we’d love for you to join us!

On Friday 29th September we won’t take ANY school bookings and our team will be running additional learning activities – JUST for Home Educator families!

Please note that the museum is still open to the general public on this day. However, we are restricting visitor numbers to ensure that you can still have the best possible experience.

You will be able to book online for the following science show…
