Eureka! Science + Discovery Triumphs at National Awards for Excellence

WEST YORKSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, June 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The team at Eureka! Science + Discovery in Merseyside is celebrating a remarkable achievement, winning Gold and Silver at the prestigious VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2025. The accolades were awarded in two standout categories: Accessible and Inclusive Tourism and New Tourism Business of the Year, recognising the organisation’s exceptional contributions to tourism and its unwavering commitment to accessibility and inclusion.

This national success follows a similar double victory at the Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards 2024, where Eureka! Science + Discovery received the same accolades.

The crowning achievement was earning Gold in the Accessible and Inclusive Tourism category, a recognition of its pioneering efforts to ensure inclusivity at every level. Through thoughtful design, groundbreaking initiatives, and meaningful community partnerships, Eureka! Science + Discovery, alongside its sister site, Eureka! The National Children’s Museum, has set a new benchmark for accessibility in tourism.

Since opening, Eureka! Science + Discovery has rapidly established itself as a must-visit destination for families, inspiring curiosity and learning in children aged 0–14. Winning Silver in the New Tourism Business of the Year category highlights its significant impact as an innovative and dynamic addition to the UK’s tourism landscape.

Reflecting on this double victory, Eureka! Chief Executive Leigh-Anne Stradeski said:
"Winning these awards is a testament to the passion, creativity, and dedication of our team. At Eureka!, we strive to create experiences that are inspiring, inclusive, and accessible to all. These achievements reflect our commitment to making a real difference in the lives of the families and communities we serve. We are incredibly proud to represent the North West and lead the way in accessible tourism."
