Outdoors at the Science Oxford Centre
Enjoy the outdoors at the Science Oxford Centre. A Family Day or STEM Club ticket includes access to our woodland all day. Pick up our woodland map, follow the nature trails and spot local wildlife and plants. With 15 acres of green space and ponds to explore there’s always something to do and see, whatever the weather*. Why not bring a picnic?
Please note dogs are not permitted to enter the woodland or buildings at any time. If you are bringing an assistance animal, please get in touch with us ahead of your visit.
*Access to the woodland will be restricted when high winds (over 25mph) or thunderstorms are forecast.
