Visit the Science Oxford Centre of wizardry this Half Term for a spell of spooky science for all the family. Conjure up chromatography-bats and explore the science of colour and brave the pumpkin trail in our forbidden forest, can you figure out the magic word to win a prize?

Try out secret experiments in our amazing Exploration Zone, where trainee wizards can make flying frights hover above the Air Table and see a hidden world comes to light with our Curious Camera. Families can get close-up with mini-beasts and creepy crawlies with our Microscopes, and observe beautiful, feathery ice patterns forming with Watch Water Freeze! There will be prizes for the best Spooky Science outfits on the day and children can take home our Science Oxford slime recipe.

Your ticket includes two hours in the Exploration Zone and access to woodland all day. The morning session is from 10am to midday and the afternoon sessions are from 12.45pm to 2.45pm and 3.30pm-5.30pm.
