With this weeks theme in mind, it was perfect timing to visit Eureka as it has its own pretend supermarket which Charlotte loved. They have shopping trolleys, baskets, food, money, tills, scanners ect. Its a pretend paradise and Charlotte had a wonderful time filling the baskets and rolling the trolleys about.
For older children its very educational too, it has a scanning section attached to a television screen. When you scan an item and a video plays which tells you all about it and where it comes from. There is also a food guessing game, where you can put your hand in and guess the food item and then look to check if you were right. Obviously these activities were too young for Charlotte but us Adults had fun. We all felt like kids in a sweet shop :).
This whole section is divided up to look exactly like a supermarket and it was lovely to see everyone having so much fun, including Ricky playing on the tills haha. We know exactly what to buy Charlotte for Christmas and after searching Amazon we have found a much smaller version which we know she will love, especially the shopping trolley but shhh don't tell her what Santa is bringing.
Now back to Eureka, take a look through the pictures below to see what we got up to during the rest of our visit. I was extremely impressed by the facilities and it was lovely to see such a nice feeding room. Since having Charlotte I have noticed how many places do not cater for a breastfeeding mum and it was lovely to see a nice room with comfy seating that isn't in a disabled toilet. Also the train station is right next door making it a perfect place for a family outing.
