Brainy fun at Eureka! this Easter

Eureka! Science + Discovery invites families to ‘Bring Your Own Brain’ (who knew it was optional?) for an Easter packed with hands-on experiments, real-life neuroscientists, and mind-blowing activities!

The award-winning Eureka! Science + Discovery on the Wirral is set to spark imaginations this Easter with its exciting ‘Bring Your Own Brain’ event – an interactive and engaging exploration of the brain and senses from Saturday 5 through to Monday 21 April 2025, as part of the International Festival of Neuroscience.

Visitors will have the unique opportunity to meet real neuroscientists, take part in hands-on experiments, and uncover the incredible ways our brains shape how we experience the world.

Rachael Bevan, Head of Learning and Inspiration at Eureka! Science + Discovery, shared her excitement: “What could be more fascinating than the human brain? We’re thrilled to bring hands-on, minds-on experiences to families this Easter, combining interactive science with creativity and play.”

Eureka! is celebrating a double win at the recent Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards and has just been shortlisted for the prestigious Visit England Awards for Excellence in two categories (winners announced this summer), so if you haven’t visited yet – you’re in for a certified award-winning day out!
