Summer Fun at Eureka! Science + Discovery!

From explosive science shows, to exploring aquaponics, to learning circus skills and dance sessions, the range of activities on offer means there’s something for everyone!

Have you ever wondered how some things move, why things are a certain shape, or why some materials are good for one thing but not another? Have you ever thought about who invents the stuff that we use every day? Have you ever thought about inventing something? This summer, visit Eureka! Science + Discovery for some inspiration as we explore some big questions and the science, technology, engineering and maths behind them all and hopefully inspire the next generation of inventors!

Opening in November 2022, Eureka! Science + Discovery has already proved a hit with local families and has had visitors travelling from all over the UK to experience the new offer. This summer holidays, the team have pulled together an impressive list of additional activities for families to explore on their visits, on every day until Sunday 3rd September.

A temporary exhibition is being hosted in their MakeCreate space, for families to explore a variety of science concepts through multiple table-top games and experiments. If you’ve ever wondered what your belly button has to do with you being able to stand up, or whether we can freeze shadows, or perhaps your burning question has more to do with whether you can turn yourself into a human battery –you’ll find the answer in here, and more!

Eureka!’s unique blend of creative learning and fun colourful exhibits combined with cutting-edge 21st-century technology delivers an engaging and funfilled family day out all through the year, but for the six weeks of summer they are being joined by a long list of additional activity providers.

From purple-haired Professor Pumpernickel’s explosive science shows to the uber cool Farm Urban aquaponics sessions, there’s bound to be something for everyone during the holidays. The list is long, so we suggest you check out the website for the weekly programme of fun. And don’t forget that their standard price ticket is actually an annual pass, so you pay once and get to go back as many times as you like for free for the next 12 months. So, if you want to also see Science Made Simple’s exploration of bubbles and balloons, or even learn to juggle with Bring the Fire, you’ll be able to do it all.

And if that’s not enough… Did you know they have a dedicated under 7’s zone? The Burrow is filled with nature-inspired activities especially for the younger visitors. #EurekaDiscover. Please check our website and social media for opening hours and for what’s on! On-site parking is available. Multiple bus stops outside with regular connections to Woodside, New Brighton and Wallasey. www.eurekadiscovery.org.uk
