There’s so much to see and do at the National Children’s Museum, and here’s an extra incentive to visit this spring.
Looking for ways to entertain the little ones during the week? Here’s an idea – visit Eureka! The National Children’s Museum for a packed day of fun, learning and discovery. What’s more, visit before the end of May and you’ll bag yourself a free coffee and cake in the cafe. Here’s everything you need to know about this parent-pleasing offer.

A visit to Eureka! is always a winner with the kids – but it’s just as rewarding for parents too. Visit between 10am to 3:45pm from Tuesday to Friday during term time and you can get a free hot drink and a slice of cake from either the main cafe or the balcony cafe. While the little ones explore, you can take a well-earned break with a sweet treat in hand.
One of the best things about visiting Eureka! is that it offers a brain break for parents. Parenting is non-stop, and sometimes you just need a little reset. Unlike soft play or screen time, Eureka! offers a fun-packed day out that keeps kids engaged and learning, giving you a moment to breathe – while you enjoy something tasty on the house.

You see, Eureka! is no ordinary museum. It’s designed for kids to get stuck in and play, home to over 400 interactive exhibits spread over six themed zones. With fun and enjoyment placed front and centre, they’ll be learning without even realising it. There’s even a talented team of ‘Enablers’ on hand to help the kids get the most from the museum.
From exploring the wonders of science and nature to stepping into a mini town where they can role-play different jobs, there’s always something to spark their imagination. And the fun doesn’t stop inside either. The museum’s expansive outdoor space is perfect for letting off steam – temporary exhibits and events means no two visits are the same.
Can’t fit it all into one day? No problem. When you buy an admission ticket to Eureka!, it gets you unlimited entry for an entire 12 months. So next time there’s a special event on, the kids want another run around the play town or you simply want a day out where the hard work’s done for you, you can return to Eureka! for a well-earned break.
