For those with inquisitive young minds in the household, there's a bold and bright new family attraction that's just about to open an hour from Manchester. Over £11mn has been spent in creating the new Eureka Science + Discovery centre on the Wirral which will open to the public from November 11.
We headed along for a sneak preview inside the bright and shiny new attraction, which aims to make science, technology, education, art and mathematics (STEAM) subjects that bit more exciting to children up to the age of 14. It's all done in a clever, colourful and interactive way with a host of bold exhibits spread out across two floors inside the all-new centre.
It's based in Seacombe, Wallasey, right next to the River Mersey with spectacular views out across the waters over to the Liverpool cityscape, including of the world famous Royal Liver Building. The museum was co-created with over 200 local children and young people from across Wirral having their say, together with industry experts.
