Eureka! Children’s Museum has been on our days out bucket list for quite some time. I was first introduced to Eureka! about a year ago when I was lucky enough to be able to offer Zena’s Suitcase readers the chance to win a family pass. At the time I wasn’t able to visit myself with Little Pudding being just a baby, but fortunately we were lucky enough to receive another invite.
Visiting Santa At Eureka! Children’s Museum
First of all we were treated to an exclusive performance of the Eureka! Museum Christmas show. In true Eureka! style this show was fun and interactive. The children were all captivated by this charming story of two brothers and their adventures the night before Christmas. We all enjoyed it very much indeed.
After the performance we were off to visit with the big guy himself. Santa was up in his Grotto along with his elves waiting to see all the children that were at Eureka! Museum. We had a lovely time visiting the Grotto and the children received some lovely toys. Princess is using her Santa torch every night, and Little Pudding is very attached to her reindeer toy.
Learning At Eureka! Museum
Eureka! Museum was everything I had hoped for and more in terms of a day out for the children. There was so much for them to do and explore. The museum brings the world around them to life in a way that they can understand and enjoy, and these little girls definitely made the most of it.
Activities At Eureka!
As a part of our blogger Christmas event, we were also treated to some fun activities. We met everyone in the conservatory and were treated to making fairy tales and science experiments. The girls were delighted to get involved with the story telling and craft activities. I’ve never seen them sit still for quite so long!
All About Me at Eureka! Museum
After a lot of hard work, I convinced the girls they needed to visit the All About Me area of the museum. I was quite excited about visiting this area as I know it’s a part of the museum that Eureka! are particularly proud of.
The baby area was particularly realistic and Princess enjoyed giving the pregnant mother her scan, and feeling her tummy move when the baby kicked. This was particularly realistic!
We were provided with complimentary entry to Eureka! Children’s Museum, Christmas Show and Santa’s Grotto in exchange for this post but all thoughts and opinions are our own.
Ooh this looks fantastic!! Forget the kids, I want to go play!! 😉
Now this looks absolutely fantastic, what a great idea x
This sounds like a fantastic mueseum. I like places that encourage kids to actually touch and interact instead of big DO NOT TOUCH signs everywhere.
We love Eureka, would love to go at Christmas x
This looks amazing, we went to Eureka when I was younger and we had so much fun. I would love to take Boo =)
It seems like such a brilliant, fun place for children! We take our little ones to the RAF museum because they have a couple of interactive activities there and it’s free, but the Eureka museum sounds like something else. Well worth the drive to Halifax!
It does look a lot of fun – we have a similar play area at our local science museum and it always goes down well.
If only we were closer – this looks like so much fun
This looks such a fantastic place – and it looks like you had an amazing day. Great photos. Kaz xx
We visited earlier this year and it was just so much fun. I would absolutely love to visit again, maybe in the new year.
Looks like a fun day out! x
