Eureka! (full title Eureka! The museum for children) is an interactive educational museum for children in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. It is run as an educational charity and not-for-profit organisation.
It is located on former British Rail land next to Halifax railway station. The museum was partly inspired by Prince Charles and continues to receive his support.
