Eureka! Science + Discovery is unlike anywhere you’ve ever experienced, encouraging young people up to the age of 14 to reframe how they see the world around them. Across three zones, the attraction explores the everyday through the uniqueness of our bodies, the things that make up the fabric of our homes, and the wonder of the environment we live in through hundreds of exciting and interactive activities. Eureka! is a day out for everyone, from creative fun-loving types to science buffs – or a mix of the two! It connects the everyday with the extraordinary, ignites curiosities, and encourages us all to question and challenge and come up with bigger and better possibilities for our futures.

Graduate, Dawn commented: “The course opened my eyes to a variety of educational topics relevant to my job role, providing me with the knowledge and skills required to do it more effectively.
