    aboutSectionText

    Eureka! is a playful day out in West Yorkshire, with free support and services for disabled children and their families. Eureka! is incredibly proud to be an inclusive venue, awarded Silver in the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2014 – Access for all category. Eureka! runs an innovative, free Extra Pair of Hands service supporting families with disabled children by giving them their own, fully trained member of the Eureka! team to help them get the most out of their visit. The whole site is designed to be accessible, particularly so with the recent addition of a Changes Places washroom facility. All members of the Eureka! team are trained in disability awareness, many are learning to use British Sign Language, and on Disability Access Day 2015 they launched Super Saturdays – free, regular clubs for disabled children and their families. Eureka! also offers The Eureka! Story – a downloadable introduction to the sights and sounds at Eureka! to help prepare visitors with autism.

    Fantastic Museum

    We went for my daughter’s birthday - and she absolutely loved it. They give carers a free ticket, and you can come all year for the cost of one entry which is a brilliant bonus. Quite a lot of multi-sensory exhibits, the sound area is brilliant and there was a temporary exhibit with lights when we went. Really accessible, friendly staff. Perfect for 2-4 hours but probably not a whole day out.

    Excellent Place for all children!

    This is a fantastic place to visit with children of all ages, they're very accommodating for children with additional needs. The car park has many spaces with enough room to load and unload wheelchairs. The staff are excellent. We all absolutely loved the museum and would definitely recommend.
