Primary and early years children can experience the excitement of experimenting and making their own discoveries on your school visit to the Science Oxford Centre. Our range of STEM activities are designed to engage and challenge, from the hands-on delights of our Exploration Zone to workshops, shows, pond dipping and guided walks in our 15 acres of woodland. We also have shows for all ages in our inflatable planetarium in the autumn term.
School visits run from 10am until 2pm, and we can accommodate up to 100 pupils a day. You can book for 1, 2 or 3 groups from your school, depending on availability.
Your visit includes a session in the Exploration Zone plus the choice of two of the following: a Workshop, a Show, or a Woodland Walk.
School visits cost £9* per pupil, with a group minimum charge of £180* (*All prices subject to VAT).
All member schools get a 15% discount.
