Eureka! is a museum in Halifax especially designed for children. It's noisy, it's fun and there's nothing there that you're not allowed to touch. If that sounds good to you then read on…

Eureka! has a brand new exhibition called 'Our Global Garden'. Your guide is a small invisible gnome called Gordon. Did I say invisible? Yep, that's right, you can't see him most of the time but his voice crops up in the strangest of places.

Our Global Garden is all about the world we live in and the different habitats that exist. There's a desert, an ocean, a jungle, an ice garden, and closer to home, town and country gardens. There is lots to learn about all of those places and how we can best look after our planet, to keep it healthy and full of life.
If you come up with any eco-friendly brainwaves on the way round there's an Ideas Garden at the end where you can plant your suggestions for other visitors to have a look at.

The best thing about the Global Garden is that you can touch, climb on, play with and explore everything in there. Ever fancied building an igloo or surfing a wave? Here's your chance. You can pretend you're a seal, dress up as a gnome, play some jungle instruments and lots, lots more.
Watch out for the 'Our Global Garden' interactive website on www.show.me.uk soon… it's going to be fun.
