Eureka, halifax, for a 16 month old?

would Eureka in Halifax be too advanced for a 16 month old? entrance is a lot of money but i've heard some great reviews (from older children). i just rang up and they weren't terribly helpful - they just said there were a couple of areas that would be suitable from birth to five years... any advice welcome!!!

My girls have both always loved it. We were there yesterday. Mira who is just 13 months absolutely loves being in the special under 5 areas. My caution would be avoid school holidays as these special areas often end up with older sibblings in and the whole place can be a bit chaotic IMO.

Also the fee includes a years pass, so once you've paid you can return as many times as you like in 12 months. we've been 4 times since we got our pass and I still don't think we've seen it all It's only 10 minutes for us on the train so give me a shout if you want company

we're going on sunday for Olivers 1st birthday He loves pressing buttons so figured there would be something for him to do. and even if there isnt DH and myself will love it

We are here now and it is heaving probably why they were a bit brief on the phone!

I've been coming for ages and think its great. It's busy in the hols but you could avoid that, wasn't too busy in the Christmas hols mind.

As has already been said, it's expensive but it's an annual pass which is good value if you make the most of it.

pippa loves it and has been going since she was about a year old, i think because its a year pass it's actually quite cheap and the more you go the better value, pippa would go every day if she could

thanks for all the replies - you've sold it to me haha! xxx

I think izzy was a baby when we started going and always loved it x

We went first whe Ewan was just 13 months old and he had a ball - got the years pass and have been back quite a few times. There is a under 3's bit downstairs (like a garden) and one upstairs too (like a desert) but don't think you have to stick to those bits - there are some really good exhibits like making music, how the body works etc and lots for little hands to play with and do. There's also areas where you can sit and read books, do some messy play, chill out in a play house etc. You can do as much or as little as you like.

Hope you have a fab time
