Awards
Since opening Eureka! has won more than 15 awards, for its ‘learning by stealth’ educational philosophy and outstanding visitor experience, as well as awards for customer service, architecture and facilities for disabled people.
These have included awards from the Museum and Heritage Awards for Excellence, the Royal Institute for British Architecture, the Tommy Parent Friendly Museum Campaign and several Yorkshire Tourist Board awards as well as the English Tourist Board’s Visitor Attraction of the Year.
This success has continued in more recent years - Eureka! was a finalist in the Yorkshire Tourist Board’s Awards for Tourism Visitor Attraction of the Year category 2006, and also beat stiff competition to win the Les Trophees Kids 2005 (an international award for children’s tourism initiatives) for the SoundSpace gallery.
