Visiting

We’re looking forward to welcoming your school group to the Science Oxford Centre.

The Science Oxford Centre gives primary and early years children the opportunity to experience the excitement of making their own discoveries through STEM activities that engage and challenge them. From woodland walks to indoor workshops and shows and the hands-on delights of our Exploration Zone, children can benefit fully from all the centre has to offer.

From September 2021, we have expanded our programme at the Centre to include a planetarium show in our new Science Dome, a new ‘Think The Link’ workshop in our classroom and three pond dipping workshops for all ages.

School visits are for the whole day, from 10am–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. Your workshop choices include those in the Centre as well as Pond Dipping from September 2021.
