Relaxed SENDays

What’s relaxed about it?

Low visitor numbers:
We’ve heavily restricted ticket availability on these days, so our galleries will be much less busy than usual.

Flexible timings:
We want these days to work around you! Which is why – although we do ask you to select an arrival time – we are flexible if you happen to get here a little earlier or later than your slot.

Chill Out Room:
Need some time out away from the main museum? Just ask any of our Enablers (the people in purple shirts with “Eureka! Science + Discovery” written on them) for access to our Chill Out Room.

Ear defenders:
You can borrow a pair of ear defenders for free from our Information Desk (by the admissions tills) – subject to availability, obvs.

Fully accessible venue:
Including lifts and a Changing Places loo.

Trained, supportive staff:
Our whole team are trained in disability awareness, and we really want you all to have a great day out. Just ask us if there’s anything we can do to support you 🙂

Do I have to pre-book?
Yes please! All visitors must pre-book, even if you are an existing annual pass holder. There will be a very limited number of tickets available on this day!

Planned SENdays in 2026:

• Sunday 28 June
• Friday 24 July
• Sunday 11 October
• Sunday 6 December

We schedule our SENDays as regularly as possible, across our two venues.

They will usually take place at one or other of our sites every few months, and on different days of the week where possible to broaden opportunities to attend to more families.

Eureka! is committed to running these quieter sessions for a full day, rather than just quiet or “twilight” hours, and with reduced ticket numbers and additional activities, as often as programming, staffing and seasonal events allow.
