Derek LingApril 4, 2015Fantastic day out. Loads of stuff to do. Try not to bring a pram, much easier with a baby carrier. Prepare to spend longer than you would expect here.
Mark KellyFebruary 15, 2013It's looking a bit aged now and quite a few things need replacing/repairing. They're opening a new Body Zone in the Spring. Still great fun for the kids though and the presentation sessions are fab!
Damien WintersAugust 23, 2012Don't eat at cafe unless you have won the lottery! £5.30 for cheese & ham roll! Burger king is outside the car park, greggs is 2 minute walk into the town centre. Love everything else about the place.
Luke BrunningMay 5, 2014Get an online pass before you go; it's automatically an annual pass then, and ready for you when you arrive. Great value.
Lorraine SmithAugust 21, 2011I loved Eureka when my kids were smaller. The Christmas party was always a *great* event. Picnickers are v welcome, use the outdoor train carriage for novelty value.
Victoria TeasdaleApril 20, 2014Get in early for free reign. We got there at 11am and it was pretty dead. By 1 pm it was heaving. In the school holidays.
Eureka MuseumMarch 19, 2012Ahoy there! Join us this Easter as we get all nautical (but nice!) with Commotion on the Ocean - 31 March right through to 15 April. Arrrrrr!
Janet WarneJune 14, 2013Brilliant for children but may be time it early afternoon to miss school trips. Wonderful food
You can refill your water bottles in the water play area. The tap is labelled as drinking water.- Tim MarshallMarch 1, 2014Food prices on par with other attractions but the quality and portions are very generous.
- Welcome to YorkshireSeptember 5, 2010Check out the lullaby flowers and musical grasses at the sound garden - sure to make the kids smile!
- Claire BillingtonJuly 17, 2011Bring your own food, the cafe food is ok but very expensive. Plenty of picnic areas including a train carriage in the garden
Lisa McNamaraJanuary 19, 2016Most things were broken and what we went there for was a little disappointing
Ryan RigbyFebruary 23, 2011Take a packed lunch! I don't know if they allow it but I took one as did many others.- Kevin RawlinsonFebruary 5, 2011Some of the exhibitions don't actually work and the cafe is very expensive!

"The Jungle Experience, although it costs £1 per person, is well worth it - lots of tropical plants, butterflies, terrapins and quails!"

"I use this park for football training, good for dog walking too. There's a nice walled garden at bottom of the park, also a play area with swings & roundabouts."
